Restaurant Port (Minato City Office Cafeteria) — Restaurant in Tokyo

If you like to eat food in a scenic place, absolutely go here. I'm just going to mainly talk about the view.

Welcome to the first review of (hope this becomes a series), staff canteens of Tokyo.

So, this one, There's like a list in japanese that ranks uni canteens that people would like to go, I got inspired by it and decided to search for canteens that non-realted people can just go into. This one was the nearest one so, I went here.

This canteen is really just great views of tokyo tower plus some okay food. The views are just fantastic. This is located in 11th floor of the governmental building and the windows are without any sort of blinds or curtains so you get this magnifient wide view of the tokyo tower and its surrounding.

First about the windows, they enhance the view and make it look cinematic. This is just personal preference but I absolutely love it when everyday things feel cinematic. So what do I mean by cinematic, for this one I would say the feeling that you can only see part of tokyo tower at a time. it's essentially being cropped by the bottom wall amd top ceiling which makes it look like a movie scene.

Now I shall talk about a unique phenomenon that you can experience when you are inside a room with windows that have views of big things. I don't know what's it's called but vsauce has a video called sydney opera house illusion. He explains it there. Essentially to feel it, just walk from the farthest point possible from the window towards the window while keeping your eye on tokyo towerand you'll experience it. I'm not trying to hype it up or anything, it's not something grand, just something curious.

For the food, it's okayish. Nothing spectacular, nothing grand. But if you're here, I would recommend getting either the hikawari lunch or the curry.

Now a genuine problem I had, the room felt hot and humid to me. I was sweating tons, maybe they were having some sorta problems with the air conditioner.

Tldr, go there once...

ここは区役所ですから出入りは自由です。 入口で手の消毒をして、正面にある受付の右側から前へと進むと、エレベーターホールの案内板があるのでそこへ行きます。 ロビーが広くて座る場所も多く、コンビニもあって使いやすそうですね。 建物は古いのに、エレベーターは最新と思われるものでした。 トイレも、これから行く食堂も綺麗で、リフォームされているのですね。 食堂は１１階です。

エレベーターを降りると、左右のどちらへ行くか迷いますが、白い壁が見えるほうは執務室で、ガラスのドアがある方が食堂です。 営業は平日のみで、 モーニング 7時45分から8時45分 ランチ　　11時から 　14時00分 軽食　　　14時から...

It's crowded, so you might want to go after 14:00. However, it closes at 14:30 and there are only a few menus left. The vending machine only accepts 1000 yen and 2000 yen bills, but if you ask the counter, they will exchange them for you. However, you will have to wait...
