Camélia
Worth It IfA stylish French-Japanese Arts District bistro where the garlic fries stole the show from the actual entrees.
“It’s definitely worth a visit for the atmosphere, the chicken, and those incredible garlic fries — just be prepared to settle in for a slower-paced evening.”
Best for
- A date night or casual dinner with friends who don’t mind a slower-paced evening
- Garlic fries alone
Why Milo likes it
- Interior design has real high-end Tokyo French-Japanese bistro energy
- The Koji-Roasted Chicken was excellent — tender, moist, very flavorful
- The classic gourmet burger and its garlic fries were the biggest surprise of the meal — the fries were the actual highlight
Know before you go
- Kitchen was backed up on our visit — food came out slowly with real waits between courses
- Spaghetti Bolognese à la Japonaise was rich but got heavy after a few bites; Kombu Rice was just average
