Phenomenal restaurant inside senri minami park. The restaurant in a modern design overlooking the koi pond and has outdoor deck seating as well as air-conditioned seating inside.
The seasonal lunch menu is great and the quality is very high, especially for the reasonable price. Each lunch set comes with a box containing 6 starters, all equally delicious and there is as much freshly baked focaccia as you can eat.
We had the steak and Caesar salad and the lemon octopus aglio e olio. Both really good and fresh. The Caesar salad was served on a quarter of charred Romain lettuce and was brilliant. Small points of improvement would be to crisp the bacon up a bit more and to also cook the steak slightly longer.
We had honey lemon fromage tart for desert and the balance between bitter, sour and sweet was just right. Light and matched the weather. The nitro coffee which you don't see much in Japan matched the desert well.
A great restaurant focussed on high quality food and produce....

It was a peculiar place where the kitchen's efforts were overshadowed by the servers. It was the worst restaurant experience during my trip to Japan, and I have no desire...
Read moreLovely cafe next to a peaceful park. Right in front of it, there is a line of cherry blossom trees and steps away, high trees with leaves turning to orange colors in autumn, must be nice view in those seasons. Enjoyed my late lunch there. Thought it’ll be a bit crowded, however luckily was escorted to a table upon arrival. Service was great, fast and friendly. Would like to return and sit at the terrace when weather is less hot and humid. Recommend to visit when...
