Sainte Vierge Review

This is Himeji's fanciest place for French cuisine, with an elegant drawing-room ambience and white table-clothed tables spaced far apart for privacy. Only set meals are served, giving choices of fish, meat, or both as main courses, along with side dishes. Because this is a popular wedding venue, especially on weekends, be sure to call first to see whether it's open to the public. Otherwise, the owner also has a casual, less expensive French-Italian bistro-style restaurant called Angelot, 23 Tatemachi (tel. 079/226-1113), on the same street but 2 blocks west of Otemae Dori. It's open Wednesday to Monday from 11:30am to 2pm and 6 to 10pm.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
