0710150008サーロインステーキ定食（200g）、￥３４００。
Sirloin steak(200g) set, 3400yen. Comes with rice and miso soup. Soft and tender beef steak in simple soy sauce style. Not those shimofuri beef marbled with fat though. Unless you are a big eater, 150g(2660yen) set should be quite enough.

サーロインステーキ丼（１２０ｇ）、２３００円。
(Visted in Jan 2007)Read a couple of reviews about this Japanese steak place with opinions divided between “Despite the publicity from TV shows, the steak-don is nothing special” and “Best steak don in town”. Hmm hesitated for a few months but decided to give a try anyway. Turned out it was quite nice~. Very simple seasoning with just butter and soy sauce and pepper, served rare. The sirloin steak was very soft and tender. 120g sounds very little but it was actually okay. A huge huge bowl of rice to fill your stomach too(I couldn’t finish…).

牛バター焼き定食、￥９４０。
The much cheaper grilled beef with butter is not so tender but okay for the price.

0709190034Very tiny cafe offering healthy organic food. Lunch set with genmai(brown rice) is 1000yen, including coffee which is quite nice. You can choose either seafood or organic vegetables, but the veggy was sold out so I had the sauteed scallop. The portion is really small!! Taste-wise it is okay - the brown rice was quite soggy.

Lemon meringue tart, with coffee 1200yen. This is a casual cafe of the French restaurant Pierre Gagnaire where I had lunch before. The cake set is a bit expensive for the quality but then the cafe is on the first floor of Shin-marunouchi building where everything is expensive.
Part of the cake menu here.
