La'Reir — Restaurant in Okinawa

I believe this is reservations only. Limited seating inside as well as very limited parking directly in front. The limited seating and late 80s/90s music added to very cool relaxing ambiance. Family friendly or perfect for a couples date. That’s why we were there for my husband’s birthday. The staff was very accommodating with our limited Japanese speaking, they marked ahead of time what was popular/best dishes on menu and then we used google translate, easy day. I read a review here that said the food was “life changing” and we have to say we agree. The appetizer was like a Japanese/European charcuterie with pickled carrots, cabbage, other veggies and amazing home made bread with BUTTER FIG. OMG so good. Our main dishes we had pasta which paired well with the white wine. So nice they had non-alcoholic wine! Never see that before, tasted just like Riesling.

Every bite is a pleasure at La Reir. We ordered the set menu for lunch. I had radish soup which I’ve never had it at a Western restaurants. It had gentle flavor with just right thickness.

And homemade gnocchi pasta with light cream sauce-this was my husband’s favorite. The chef knows how to cook pasta. I chose fish for main dish. It was so soft with just right amount of seasoning with more vegetables. I loved it! Their homemade drink with beet and lemon was...

The food was magnificent. I will say with much consideration that my dish was life-changing... Why do I limit my normal diet to over processed & overly preserved trash foods like KFC and McDonalds? When food like this can be found and even at an affordable price.

This food had so much flavor and literally changed my mood after eating it. I just feel good. My mind & body were finally pleased with my choice in food. I don't think I can go back to "normal"...
