There again, I get the usual selfish urge not to advertise that place more, given how small and comfy it is as such...
But I went yesterday and it is indeed a really nice little bar/restaurant with tasty and decently-priced French cooking (including some not-so-common dishes, such as pate-like spread "rillettes")... I reckon the whole place couldn't be sitting more than 20 people total (that's 10 crammed at the bar, 10 crammed in the one and a half tiny floors above), but if you get there early enough, it is a good place for a laid-back drink with friends or a date.
Bistro D'arbre ビストロ・ダルブル渋谷本店. This little wine bar is very delicious, the people who tend to come here are laid back, but interesting. The quiche is the best I have eaten in Tokyo. (But, I haven't gone to the restaurant at I'Institut Franco-Japonais yet....)
Prices are reasonable. It is about 2 minutes from Shibuya Station. It's open from about 6 to around 2 a.m. The same management has a great restaurant in Minami Aoyama called by the same name. I hesitated to list this little place because it's already hard to get a seat...but, not letting people know would be selfish...It's really good...and the bartender.........Il est tres beau!

If you look at the site, and click the first line to the left of Weblog, it will go to the page for the wine bar. If you scroll down you will see the map to the place in black sepia ink. The wine bar is located on the alley called Shibuya Nonbei Yokocho. There are a lot of great little bars and restaurants there to try. If you don't speak Japanese, keep saying Shibuya Nonbei Yokocho....It is outside the Hachiko side of Shibuya Station off the big road that heads toward Aoyama, away from Dogenzaka (the road that goes up toward 109 and splits...I hope that helps you find it...) Probably the safest thing is to find someone who can point out the way to NONBEI YOKOCHO...It's worth looking for....
