牛フィレ丼、¥1400。しらす明太子丼、¥1200。
Beef fillet rice bowl. Very good! The braised beef is lean and non-greasy yet very soft. The sauce(probably the juice from the beef?) is tasty to eat with the rice. Comes with pickles, and very nice clam miso soup and coffee.
Boiled shirasu and mentaiko rice bowl. Eaten with ponzu and raw egg. Simple but good.

Fried oyster - seasonal menu.
Curry rice - the old fashioned Japanese kind which is thick, sweet(from melted vegetables) and not a bit spicy.

ハンバーグランチ、¥1200。的鯛のムニエル、¥1200。
Hamburger is just okay. Meuniere of Matoudai. The fish is a bit dry and salty, and soaked in too much butter.

ハヤシライス、¥1000。
Both are Hayashi rice. For some reason the weekday version(left) has more ingredients than the holiday version(right)…

0804300160海老フライと昔コロッケ、¥1200。パスタランチ、¥1100。
Fried prawn and potato croquette lunch is very good! Quite huge portion too. Pasta lunch is just ordinary tomato sauce with clams.

Very busy with salarymen and OLs during lunch hours. Drink is included in the price. The service is good and I like the comfortable window seats a lot, except for the one time I sat next to a chain-smoker…

0806030046サーモン腹身の燻製サラダ バルサミコ風味。仔羊の香草パン粉焼き。
Second lunch visit. Appetizer: Smoked salmon salad with Balsamic sauce. The salmon belly is hot and very fatty. Main: Grilled Baby lamb chop(very tender) with herb and breadcrumbs. Unfortunately both dishes are a bit too salty.

By coincidence the lunch menu was salmon and lamb for both times(one whole year apart) I visited this old-fashioned style French restaurant. Customers were mostly old ladies and old gentlemen. Service is formal and extremely attentive.
