初めて利用させていただきました。 店内は広く、落ち着いた雰囲気。 ランチメニューがたくさんあって非常に迷いましたが、数量限定の大人様ランチを注文しました。 オムライス、飛騨牛ハンバーグ、本日のパスタ、トースト、サラダがワンプレートになっておりボリューミーですごく美味しかったです! 特に飛騨牛ハンバーグが肉肉しくてたまらなかったです! ドリンクはアイスコーヒーをいただきました。 混み具合にもよりますが、隣の席とあまり近くなかったのもとても過ごしやすい理由の一つでした。 定期的に利用させていただこうと思います!

I usually get the banh mi morning set here, but today I woke up a little later and made it just in time for lunch. I ordered their limited lunch set, which came with omurice, Hida beef hamburg, pasta of the day (which was tarako and not really my thing), a side salad, and dessert. It set me back a little over ¥3,000, so quite pricey for lunch, but it was very filling. I wouldn’t rave about it, but it was good enough as a treat. 普段はここのバインミーのモーニングセットを頼むのですが、今日は少し寝坊してランチギリギリの時間に行きました。限定ランチセットを注文して、オムライス、飛騨牛ハンバーグ、日替わりパスタ サラダ、デザートが付いてきました。ランチにしては3,000円ちょっとと高めでしたが、お腹はしっかり満たされました。大絶賛するほどではないですが、ご褒美としては十分良かったです。 Late posting(投稿が遅くなりました)。Last visited in May 2025.
