ジャガイモのポタージュ、鴨パテサンドイッチ、１０００円。
Duck pate sandwich, it is sooooooo nice!!! The bread is homemade and nicely toasted, the pate is such a thick slice~. Want to go back to try their full course lunch, which the ojisan in the picture ordered and he kept telling the waitor how he delicious it was and in fact took pictures using his mobile phone…maybe he has a food blog too. ^^;;

Second visit. Pork rillettes, grilled pork with ginger sauce, gateau chocolat. Lunch course is 2500yen. The quality turned out to be choice-dependent. I went with a friend and two of us ordered different appetizers, main dishes and desserts to share. The line-up in the pictures were all quite good, but the marinated vegetables, roasted chicken stuffed with prawn and orange tart were just so-so. The sandwich lunch is much better!

Bread(2 kinds:cereal and onion) were warm but had a strange crispy texture. Appetizer was marinated hon-masu - a fish similar to salmon. Quite nice! There were two small slices of cheese on the plate too.

060417 039.jpgPasta was ravioli, both the sauce and the stuffing were made of prawn and crab, and the pasta seemed to be made of whole-grain, looked brown and had a slightly rough texture, which I really liked! The sauce was slightly salty but also very nice. The waitor brought a sample plate of different pasta for me to choose, most of them were in shapes that I had never seen! Dessert plate was apple tart, pudding and pineapple ice, tasted so-so. I went on a weekday lunch, and there were only me and 4 other customers…maybe because the restaurant is in a rather quiet area, quite far to walk even from the nearest station.

Kuzukiri - a healthy sweet of jelly-like strips made from kudzu. It is basically tasteless and you dip it into the honey. There is ice to keep it cool. Great for summer!

060417 040.jpg越前おろしそば、７００円。Got attracted by the name “soba cafe” and thought it was a girly trendy place…turned out to be a small bland soba place with only businessmen who were all smoking…though the madam was nice and shifted me to a corner with less smoke.
