01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
At VinViande, an evening does not begin with scanning a static menu; rather, diners start by sharing what they feel like drinking or eating that day. Occupying the 2nd floor of a commercial building in Higashi-Ikebukuro, this wine bar complements its cellar with culinary offerings tuned to guest preferences. Through a conversation across the counter, staff help identify an appealing glass from an extensive lineup that covers red, white, sparkling, and rosé wines alongside beer and whisky.
Dining here remains equally adaptable. Options range from light assorted starters for casual grazing to fish or meat mains, braised specialties, pasta, and risotto, each shaped by daily market purchases and diner preferences. For planned occasions, custom omakase courses can be arranged upon reservation or on arrival. The bar also runs weekday lunch service on select days, offering a relaxed midday stop that contrasts with the evening bar atmosphere.
Outfitted with counter and table seating, the interior provides a calm backdrop for a quiet drink alone or an unhurried conversation with friends. Payment can be settled via major credit cards as well as PayPay and Rakuten Pay, accommodating everything from an evening second stop to a full dinner enjoyed at one's own pace.
