AVILAND — Restaurant in Tokyo

友人と2人で訪問。店内は音楽がしっかりと流れていて、他のお客さまも会話を楽しんでいる、比較的カジュアルで賑やかな雰囲気。

確かに、私たちは声が少し大きくなってしまった場面もあったかもしれないが、意図的に騒いでいたわけではなく、予約、入店時にも「静かに話してください」などの説明はなかった。

んで食事の途中、突然、後ろの席の年配の男性客がテーブルを叩いて「うるさい」と怒鳴り、私たちは驚いて声を落とした。その方は少し前にグラスのような物を落としていて酔っていたのではないかと。その後もずっと私たちの方に詰め寄ろうとするような素振りを見せ、とても威圧的で怖く、警察に通報することも真剣に考えた。

店主が出てきたので、状況を確認してくれるのかと思ったが、開口一番で「あなたたちがうるさい」「うちはそういう店じゃない」と一方的に叱責された（こちらは普通に日本語で注文していて全然喋れるのに、なぜか私たちに話す時だけに自然にタメ口で言葉選びも乱暴。外国人=日本語できない先入観はやばい。バカにするのも大概にせぇよ。）

私が「え、、他のお客さんも楽しそうに話していましたよね？」と尋ねると、店主は友人を指さして「あなたの声が高すぎる」と言い放ち、私たちだけを悪者にするような対応やった。

差別な対応に対して文句言ったら常連客から「(国に)帰れ」とまで言われ、とてもショックを受けた。それでも店側は最後まで常連客の味方で気持ち悪かった。

料理は特別ではないが、価格はリーズナブル。ただし、このような対応や空気の中では、外国人や初来店の方が安心して訪れることは難しいと感じた。

Visited this restaurant with a friend. The atmosphere was casual and lively, with noticeable background music playing and other customers enjoying conversations.

It’s possible our voices got a little louder at times, but it was never intentional or disruptive. Also the owner didn’t tell us that customers should speak quietly.

Suddenly, an older man sitting behind us slammed the table and shouted “Too loud!” We were shocked and immediately lowered our voices. He had dropped what looked like a glass earlier, and based on his behavior, we suspected he might have been drunk. Even after yelling, he kept making movements like he was about to come over to confront us directly. His behavior felt threatening, and at one point, I seriously considered calling the police.

When the owner came out, we hoped for some neutral handling, but instead he immediately blamed us, saying “You’re too loud” and “This is not that kind of restaurant.”

I asked, “But aren’t other customers also chatting?” The owner then pointed at my friend and said, “Your voice is too high,”

That regular customer even told us to “Go back to your country.” It was deeply offensive and discriminatory. Even after that, the owner continued to take the regular’s side without addressing his behavior. We were shocked and disappointed.

The food was nothing special, though reasonably priced. But after this experience, I would not recommend the restaurant to foreigners or first-time visitors seeking a welcoming and fair...

If you are craving homey, rustic Mediterranean food and don’t mind the one or other extra calories this is the place. Price is unbeatable for usual Meguro standards. Keep in mind however that you can’t order a la carte and have to go with the sets which are available on the day - average 2000JPY/person + 2000-3000/bottle of wine.

Since tables are limited make sure to make a reservation. Overall a highly recommended place to choose if you plan a date or...

Very nice restaurant between Meguro and Ebisu. Mediterranean cuisine. A 4-dish course would cost you around 2,000 yen. Signature dishes include eggplant with cheese, baked turban shell with garlic butter, sea perch with white cream, etc. All very good. A bottle of wine is somewhere between 2,000 and 3,000 yen which are also quite reasonable. Small restaurant so be sure to...
