Synopsis
Seri, an unknown yet talented female chef from the country, arrives in Tokyo to work at French restaurant, Etoire, but discovers that they have gone out of business due to the departure of their main chef. Together with the restaurant's former manager, she opens a French restaurant of her own and begins to recreate the flavors her late father mastered as a famous gourmet chef. Unfortunately, Etoire returns with an unscrupulous manager, and to make matters worse, Seri learns that it happens to be owned by her birth mother living in Paris who she hasn't seen since she was a child. Seri wonders if her passion and skill will be enough to succeed.

1. Very talented acting [Rating: 8/10]
I really enjoyed seeing the great acting performances by Akiko Yada, Aya Ueto, and Abe Hiroshi. I hope this means Akiko Yada will start to see more lead roles. The story was loose but enjoyable, the food looked great and the music fit the show well. I was pleased with this show as it was original and warm.

2. I really liked it [Rating: 8/10]
It started off kind of slow, but then really picked up. I liked watching the main characters grow and change...they each had their own stories and things to deal with. And the audience had the smaller mini-stories almost every episode to keep us entertained while we waited to see how the main stories would turn out. The acting was great, and I was sorry to see it end :-( I could have watched a couple of more episodes :-)

I rerally liked it alot I must say. Though perhaps it felt predictible at times. I still did not sway from watching it. It kept my attention. And, if you have an open mind set to watch it. I'd say give it a shot. It's pretty enjoyible I'd say. Abe was funny in this. He plays another great role. And the main charater, (her name slips me Gomen) she was wonderful too. I'd like to see more by her. A+

Aya Ueto, Akiko Yada, and Hiroshi Abe all in one drama. Three of my favorites. I don't think I would have enjoyed this drama without the strong cast that it had. The story is very innocent and light hearted. Nothing very dramatic or very funny just pleasent to watch with lots of images of good food and a ton of guest appearences.

Yada Akiko and Ueto Aya found the perfect roles here (they even end up sharing lip gloss). It's a drama with a good feel (and taste) and touching moments. Some eps are just too long and repetitive.

7. Comments by DragonSpirit164 [Rating: 8/10]
This is a nice drama with lots of Yummy food!!~ The story is in the same mould as Lunch no Joou, but it goes one step further. Not only does it show that good food can bring one unrivalled happiness, but that it also can change the course of life itself. Akiko Yada is supremely beautiful in this one...wow. Also the theme song "Voyage" by Ayumi Hamasaki is brilliant!!!! I have never really liked on of Ayumi's songs until I watched this drama haha... Recommended!~

Dec 2003: Watched it 90% bcos of the theme song :) Yada akiko looks very very lovely, so does those French cuisine. Learned a lot about it. A bit unrealistic.
9. Comments by calico [Rating: 7/10]
I really like this drama about French cuisine. And I am becoming a fan of Yada Akiko and Abe Hiroshi. Although most scenes centred only in the restaurant, I like the warm and earnestness of this drama. It is a feel-good drama where people's lives are changed for the better through the efforts of a few. I have seen exquisite restaurants in Japan like the ones in the drama. Will love to dine in one one day.

Abe Hiroshi, Ueto Aya. Stories are weak. Guests have more lines than the staff. :p Show is forgettable. Reminds me of Antique. Stop watching after 5 episodes.

Akiko Yada is one of my favorite actresses and mixed with food ala iron chef how can it be bad? You can't beat the food and the stories it brings. Nice series, I enjoyed it! Aya and Hiroshi Abe were good too!

16. Comments by kaonashi [Rating: 7/10]
Akiko Yada's plays a chef who's able to prepare unforgettable food, but only after a personal talk with the customer. Not the best drama there is, but sometimes this is exactly the kind you wanna watch, a lighthearted comedy. A surprisingly strong cast & lots of well known actors show up in supporting roles.
17. Comments by Geezer [Rating: 3/10]
There's no there there. An empty shallow showcase for the differant costars they brought in every week. There's nothing to love or hate here. a very forgettable series.

I initially watched it for the eye-candy (Yada Akiko & Ueto Aya) but was pleasantly surprised by the warmth of the storyline. Presented the world of French cuisine in a cheesy (a la Iron Chef) but fun way. 10 episodes was not enough if you ask me. I learned to appreciate the art of cooking from watching this show. I hope I find a Petite Etoile in my neighborhood someday.

A dorama that people will love or be completely indifferent to, depending upon if they enjoy food-related stories: Eat Drink Man Woman, Like Water For Chocolate, A Walk In The Clouds, The Chinese Feast, et cetera. Good acting, interesting story and use of flashbacks, terrific recipes. Yada Akiko is nothing short of magical! Nice theme song by Ayumi too.

A very light-hearted show where the chef interprets and touches a person's life with her food. A very feministic show that will attract female audiences more, nonetheless it's great for everyone.

A decently written series with some quirky scenes. It was interesting in the beginning, but it began to become incredibly monotonous after the 3rd episode or so. I found the main chef to become extremely tiresome: ie talk to the customers to find out about them, create a dish for them, and then the customers are so moved that the meal changes their life. It's a predictable drama and I would only recommend it to those who have seen a lot of other dramas and wouldn't mind wasting some time watching this one.

It was okay, somewhat enjoyable, but didn't leave much of an impression on me. As far as plots about culinary arts and uncovering secrets of the past go, I'd say Antique is so much better than this one. Many scenes were a bit cliched in the drama department, and Yada Akiko's acting was bland. I'm sad to say even my favorite Abe Hiroshi had a somewhat unmemorable character--that arrogant sous chef was more memorable. But this is great if you're into food or into the culinary arts.

If I had to give a mark to this dorama around the 8th episode I would have given a 5. But At the end, the episodes become more original ( before, each episode show us one or two customers who are depressing and cheer up eating at "petite etoile") The other bad point is that I don't understand why they are so surprised to face financial problem at the end! you know, with one customer a day and 6 or seven staff to feed you won't go very far!! Did you bought your gestion's diplome at a convinient store?? Anyway, it's sometimes boring but sometimes fun. Abe is great as usual, Ueto Aya is hot (The only show where I find her hot) and as I'm french it was funny to hear them saying a few words in french! Anyway, It doesn't deserve being in the top 50 but compare to other restaurant dorama like Oishii kankei and propose my little chef no hou ga suteki!( hey hey! )

With Yada Akiko and Abe Hiroshi at the helm of this lovely series, how could it dissapoint? I found myself drawn into the problems of the restaurant's patrons each and every episode, but what truly made this series was the gorgeous food. While I am disapointed that there wasn't much drama in this drama, I enjoyed the slice-of-life feel and the truly happy ending.

My first taste of Yaida Akiko, chou~ kawaii in her chef hat! For food lovers, this series is an awesome showcase of just that.

One of these sleeper dramas that you don't discover until afterwards. Yada Akiko pulls off being the leading lady admirably. Very strong supporting cast including Abe Hiroshi and Ueto Aya. Each episode is a strong story that stands on its own. Very well done and a joy to watch for anybody who likes a good drama and appreciates great food. itadakimasu!

It's a little cheesy, but I'm a sucker for this kind of thing. Exceedingly cute and sweet.

A dorama made from a recipe of lost dreams, new hopes, and a French twist with a Japanese attitude.

A rare jdorama with the main characters not romantically involved, the older artistes pulled off so elegantly, the preparation of Crepe Suzette Flambe was unforgettable. I have never been eager to watch Yada Akiko but every chapter is so beautiful to watch......and none rely on heavyweight actors. The only fault is the screenwriter is not familiar with gastronomy at all when this is written. Risotto is Italian, not French. A real cook does not need to taste his food to measure how much seasoning to put. It goes with experience. Wine glasses for champagne and burgundy are different.....that's the only hiccup. My favourite chapter is about the diner who arranged for her father to meet her prospective husband.The hilarious thing was both men are of the same age but one looks older than the other ! Guess who ?
