Questions About GURECO

Reservations
Q. Do I need a reservation?

Yes. GURECO is reservation-only. Since January 2024 the restaurant has been run by the owner alone, and every visit requires a booking. Same-day bookings close at 16:00 online and 17:30 by phone.

Q. Can I book for one person?

Yes, we take bookings for one. Please note that online booking only accepts two or more guests, so for a table for one please call (090-6113-2512) or send us an Instagram DM. Minimum numbers differ by dinner course (two for the standard course, four for the chef's selection, and so on). À la carte is available for a single guest.

Q. Is it better to book online or by phone?

Online booking (PayPay Gourmet) is open 24 hours and is our recommendation. Calls (090-6113-2512) are taken between 17:00 and 20:00.

Q. What is your cancellation policy?

Please tell us of cancellations or large changes in party size at least three business days ahead; a change of one guest can be made until 12:00 on the day. Group bookings require a 20% deposit paid in advance.

Food and Menu
Q. What is the difference between the course and à la carte?

The course is set in advance (from ¥8,800) and runs as one experience from starters through to the main. À la carte lets you combine starters, mains and wine freely. You are just as welcome to come for a second round, or for a single plate of meat to end the night.

Q. What should I do about allergies?

Please tell us when you book; we cannot accommodate changes after you arrive. For the major allergens (egg, dairy, wheat, buckwheat, peanut, shrimp, crab), note them in the comments field of the booking form or discuss them with us by phone.

Q. Can I choose how the meat is cooked?

Doneness is generally left to the chef, who cooks each cut to suit its condition, cut and thickness on the day. If you would rather avoid rare, please just say so.

Q. When do you serve lunch?

Lunch is served irregularly (11:30–14:30, last entry 13:00), by reservation only at least three days ahead, for two guests or more. Please check Instagram, Facebook or the booking calendar for open days.

Wine
Q. What is natural wine?

Wine made with no added sulphites, unfined and unfiltered. Each bottle carries the philosophy of its maker and the character of its land. GURECO serves 100% natural wine only. For more, see ourmeat glossary.

Q. Can I order wine by the glass?

Yes. Wines by the glass change daily, with red, white and sparkling available. Bottles can be chosen as you like.

Q. What is the free-flow plan?

An unlimited-drinks plan (¥4,950–¥13,200) available for parties of four or more when everyone at the table takes part. Reserve at least two days ahead; bottles must be finished, and last orders are at 100 minutes.

The Restaurant
Q. Is there parking?

We have no car park of our own; please use a nearby coin park. We are an easy three minutes on foot from JR Hachioji Station.

Q. Can I come with children?

The room is compact, so please talk to us in advance if you are bringing small children. We have no high chairs or similar facilities.

Q. Is there a dress code?

There is no particular dress code. The room is a quiet one, so we would appreciate something not too casual.

Q. May I take photographs?

Please do photograph the food and wine. Out of consideration for other guests, we ask you to refrain from using a flash.
