Supposed to be Czech cuisine…even though I have been to Prague before, I have absolutely no memory of the food there, being budget backpacking and all.
Some Czech liqueur…STRONG and spicy. Some super-sour cheese soup, with pieces of avocado. Interesting…

Sausages and pickled cabbage. Czech risotto…just tomato-sauce chicken rice with paprika.

Best thing in the course - pancake with cheese inside. Quite salty but goes well with beer - of course Czech beer.
Beef stew and steamed bread. Well if you call it Czech…

フェデリーニ、釜揚げシラスと水菜。
Fedelini with shirasu(little white fish) and mizuna. The pasta is surprisingly good. Lunch is 1680yen. Since the appetizer and the dessert are just so-so, the cheaper 1260yen pasta-only lunch is probably more worth it.

モッツァレラマッシュルームバーガー、1260円。クラムチャウダー、473円。
Mozzarella Mushroom Burger, very very good! Clam chowder is so-so. But 1260yen for a small burger is just so expensive~~

Steak Kentas

060430 002.jpgサイコロステーキ(200g)、1360円。Steak with demi glace sauce, not bad. It is already medium size yet still very small - beef is so expensive in Japan.

060424 014.jpgSuper popular bagel shop…I went there 15mins before the shop opened and there were already 12 people in the queue….oh my. I was planning to eat-in and also take-out, but then I was alone and got kinda panicky about whether I should get a seat first or buy the bread first or how can I do both at the same time…^^;;. But then the girl from the shop came out and asked everyone in the queue if they wanted eat-in or take-away, and miraculously most of the people just wanted to take-away, so I got a seat reserved immediately and I could get the bread first before sitting down….yet by the time it was my turn, the most popular item “miso bagel” was sold out! And 45 minutes after the shop opened, all the bagels were sold out….for the day!!!!!! Crazy!!!!!! The counter table in the second picture was lined up with bagels when I got in, but when I was still eating my lunch, only a few were left over, and yet people still kept coming and getting shocked about the sold-out. Anyway, the lunch was grilled chicken with bread-crumbs, and of course a freshly baked carrot bagel on the side. The chicken was so tender and nice, the vegetables fresh and sweet, and the bagel was crispy on the outside and chewy inside, incredibly yummy!! Also came with a cold potage and coffee, 1200yen. I wish I live nearby and can lunch here everyday!
