Meli Melo — Restaurant in Kagoshima

I recently dined at this Italian restaurant by Tenmonkan and it was a great experience! The atmosphere was cozy and lively. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the bathroom was located behind a hidden door, which added a touch of fun and excitement to my dining experience.

But of course, the real highlight of the evening was the food. I started with the anchovy mashed potatoes, which were absolutely delicious. The potatoes were creamy and savory, with just the right amount of anchovy flavor. The Caesar salad was also a standout dish, with fresh, crisp lettuce and a perfectly tangy dressing. For the main course, I ordered the steak, and it did not disappoint.

Overall, I highly recommend this...

Very cute little restaurant, the decor brings you (back, in my case) to Europe and that was fun. Regarding the food, we both took pizzas and loved them. Very good size and unexpensive when you are used to Tokyo's pizzas... The menu was in Japanese (mostly katakana) and the staff looked worried when we were looking at it, but now that I see the comments, I understand why. I have no issues with people not being able to address me in my language or in English, and there are plenty of good apps to help translating if really there are any struggles. My command of katakana allowed that I understand enough of the menu to order great food. That's good...

After a frustrating four days of trying and failing to find a decent dinner in Kagoshima for my pescatarian wife and I, this place was a godsend. The booze is expensive but the food is excellent and the decoration and music are good too. I'd describe the menu as global food with a Japanese touch. We had steak, chips, green salad, anchovy mash, seafood paella and white wine mussels and they were all very good. Staff could work on their English, but couldn't they everywhere in Japan? Happy to...
