Ikoma, Nara, Japan｜Le Nord

First visit after moving to Entre Ikoma. It's lunch. Since the chef is in charge alone, the food is served at his own pace. If you take this into account and arrive with plenty of time to spare, you will be able to enjoy a blissful omelet rice. The evening menu is said to be a la carte, so I can't help but go there as I'm sure there will be delicious dishes lined up.

2023.08.13 First visit after relocation due to the aging of the building. I'm renting the space of Cafe Pastel. See Instagram for business hours. As expected, it's a popular local store. Can't make reservations for dinner Aim for the L.O. for lunch only on Saturdays and Sundays. Customers came one after another, and the items were sold out right behind us. Barely safe. (Perhaps they brought rice for the night?) The omelet rice I ate for the first time in a while was the best! Next time, I would like to enjoy dinner at a leisurely pace.

Go to the right (north direction) through the central ticket gate of Kintetsu Ikoma Station, go up the gentle slope, go down a little, and it is on the 1st floor of the building on your right. Although it is a small restaurant with only 6 seats at the counter, you can enjoy French cuisine prepared by an experienced chef who uses mainly ingredients from local Nara Prefecture. At lunchtime, the elaborate and creative omelet rice is popular. At dinner time, izakaya menu items such as elaborate oden are also available.
