L'Osier had fantastic bread (and butter), they had something like 10 kinds on a tray. The dough was brought in from France and baked in the on-site ovens at Maison Kayser. Lionel Lavernhe was very proud of this bread.
Many other restaurants have excellent breads, but L'Osier memorably stood out. The Robuchon group in Tokyo has their own bakery (they even sell it to the public at stores in Roppongi Hills and Brick Square) so their bread is also notably good.
