About this place
What stands out about lunch here is that it begins with pot-au-feu rather than soup. Diners who have visited describe it as gently flavoured and generous with vegetables, with plenty of warm vegetables to enjoy. The lunch menu lists pot-au-feu with options including the beef set and the daily pasta set. Some sets let you choose rice or bread, so pairing a beef dish with rice or enjoying the pot-au-feu with bread gives the meal a different feel.
For a meat-focused lunch, one diner’s account of a dish of thinly sliced lean beef is helpful. The beef was cooked rare and described as tender, savoury and a good match for rice. Another menu listing features a beef round tagliata set with rice and salad. These are straightforward choices for building a substantial lunch around pot-au-feu and beef. There is also a simmered hamburger steak set served with rice.
Cake is another reason to linger over lunch. One diner liked the chiffon cake’s soft texture and restrained sweetness, and said it went well with coffee. A visitor also reports that lunch comes with dessert and a drink. The menu lists coffee and tea, as well as wine by the glass, so you can finish with coffee or choose wine with your meal.
Families may want to consider the children’s menu, which includes mildly sweet curry and meat pasta. The meat pasta comes with mini pot-au-feu, a mini drink and a mini dessert; a separate baby set is listed with mini pot-au-feu and a small portion of plain rice. One visitor mentions using the upstairs tatami room, where toys were available for children. With pot-au-feu at the heart of the lunch menu, beef dishes and cake offer more ways to shape a meal to suit your appetite.
