ババロアリゾーニ。Risoni bavarois.(Risoni is rice-shape pasta)
An absolutely perfect lunch experience!! Every dish is delicious, especially the pasta, which is so simple yet incredibly good, and served in a satisfying big porton too. Pasta lunch course including appetizer, soup, pasta, dessert and coffee, is only 1800yen even on a weekend. Considering those super expensive but no good Italian I have had recently, this place is heaven. Oh also, the waitor seems to have good ears. It was my friend’s birthday but we kept it rather quiet, yet her dessert came with a candle and chocolate drawings on the plate. Then we were talking about some cappuccino cafe nearby which does very pretty drawings on the foam, and somehow the cappuccinos at the end of the lunch course were something we never expected of a restaurant…the birthday gal had “Happy Birthday” written in Japanese on her cappuccino…how lovely. Definitely want to go back again.

Strawberry, peach cassis on a thin chocolate tart, and mille-feuille. So stylish and beautiful~~. I like the mille-feuille the best, though all are quite good.

060331 016.jpgヒレカツ。Pork cutlet lunch. Quite famous place, very packed with businessmen and elderly…I must have been an unlikely customer cos the chef kept staring at me even before I started taking out my camera(^^;). I knew this place is not cheap but I expected they have cheaper lunch sets…unfortunately they don’t. The standard price is 2900yen(ouch…). And the pork was quite hard and not very juicy….hmm. The chef seems to know everybody, saying “Oh long time no see” to an ojisan, and “Is your mother genki?” to the young salaryman sitting next to me. ^^;;
