Shinjuku City, Tokyo, Japan｜Bistro Avanti

I visited at a private party. I don't expect big plates, but they were all delicious. I like meat, so I was happy to see a lot of them. And I was surprised by the variety of sauces and dressings to put on meat and the number of ideas. All of the sauces were natural, colorful, and had a well-balanced taste, and it was as if the chef's personality was reflected in his desire to have people enjoy the food. Dessert pudding and canelé are also excellent. I was surprised that there were 3 types (chocolate, plain, mugwort) in the canelé tower. Lunch time seems to be flooded with women. I want to go.

It seemed crowded no matter when I passed by, so I used it for takeout lunch. I used it right after it opened and was able to take it home in less than 10 minutes. Various electronic payments are supported. Ordered vegetable curry. Since it's a soup, I could see that care was taken in packaging it so that it wouldn't tip over. Separately from the curry, several kinds of vegetables are placed on top of the rice, and the curry is poured into a separate container. It was moderately spicy and warmed my body. Judging by the south-facing terrace seating that you can see when you pass by the store, you might think it was frequented by groups, but while we were waiting, solo customers also entered the store one after another. It seems to be popular among women because of its healthy menu. The restaurant seems to have ties to Kagawa Prefecture, and I was also interested in the menu, which uses the famous Nio vinegar.

Dare I say it's delicious and relaxing? It's clearly authentic Italian food, and it's obvious that they've put a lot of effort into it, as they've arranged not only Italian but also European cuisine for Japanese people. Power salads, meat dishes, caprese, grilled sausages, fish dishes, curries, as well as instant dishes, potato dishes, and a variety of vegetable dishes are also available. It feels like I'm floating in a restaurant I've stopped at while traveling in Southern Europe, or Central Europe without actually traveling. The entrance and exit are completely open, so it feels more like a local store than a countermeasure against the coronavirus. Wine bottles are also diverse and reasonably priced, so if you want to go to Europe in Takadanobaba, this is the place to go. You can enjoy the dishes that you feel are arranged for Japanese people with peace of mind, and the atmosphere is nice so you can stop by alone on your way home from work.
