Higashihiroshima, Hiroshima, Japan｜ベル

I expected this place to be a regular western style restaurant you could order single items at (like pasta or steak). No. It was a high class restaurant absolutely packed with paintings, sculptures, pianos, flowers, etc everything a japanese person would think looks ‘european’, and offered only courses. There was the ‘steak course meal’ for 3000 yen, and some other course, and the course of the day for 4500 yen, which i took. The 4500 yen course meal was delicious, certainly (it better be because it wasn’t cheap). The owner and the lady serving us were super cute and made small talk sometimes. It’s a place you can relax at.

There are only six tables inside. We went to have lunch. If there are many people, we might as well make a reservation. I had a steak for 2500 including tax. My friend had a 2,000 lunch, with a total of seven items. The portion was not much, but it was filling. The restaurant is luxuriously decorated, with opera music playing, and the food is exquisite and beautiful. The only drawback is that the milk served with the coffee is disposable, not fresh milk in a beautiful bottle. Authentic Western food requires a set of tableware for each dish. All in all, a very enjoyable lunch.

Very nice dining experience in a unique setting.
