La Saetta（ラ・サエッタ）

Have been here before(entry here and here), but didn't get around to try their brown rice lunch and dessert.

玄米ランチプレート、￥１０００。 沖縄産寿豚パラ肉と季節野菜のボッリートミスト、サルサヴェルデ添え（＋￥２００）。
Brown rice lunch plate: Okinawa pork belly and seasonal vegetables pot-au-feu with Salsa Verde. The pork is soft and very nice with the green sauce. Also came with Minestrone, curry-taste omelette and brown rice. Dessert is panna cotta made from milk, which is unfortunately a bit bland. Lunch includes a small cup of either coffee, Okinawa herb tea or Genmai-cha.

牛バラ肉のキノコたっぷりラグー、温泉卵添え、￥１０００。
Beef belly meat and mushroon Ragu sauce with hotspring egg.

自家製サルシャチャとケッパー、キノコの白いワインソース、￥１０００。
玄米ランチプレート： オーストリア産牛ホホ肉の白ワイン煮込み マッシュポテト添え、￥１０００。
Salsiccia, caper, mushroom, white wine sauce.
Cow cheek simmered in white wine with mashed potato. Again brown rice lunch comes with Minestrone.

築地直送 エビと有機野菜のフリット タルタル添え、￥１０００。
カキとキノコ、豆のクリームソース、￥１０００。
Prawn and organic vegetables fritter with Tartare sauce. I asked for the Minestrone to come together with meal so that I can eat the brown rice with the soup, which is much nicer.
Oyster and mushroom, in cream sauce with beans.

築地直送 魚介のトマトソース、￥１０００。
Seafood tomato sauce.

Very very nice lunch at an excellent price. The portion is big enough to fill me up and the quality is high. My favourites are Okinawa pork belly and prawn fritter; though everything is good. Too bad they only do lunch during Tue-Fri. This place is a bit hard to find but well worth the effort if you are in the area. Walkable distance from Okachimachi/Ueno.
