Otsu, Shiga, Japan｜Marlet

It was a rare and good restaurant in this area, as it was both stylish and delicious. I visited on a Saturday afternoon without a reservation, and even though it was busy, they had a table ready for me right away. The background music was so loud that it was difficult to hear the voice of the person I was with, so when I told them about it, they kindly adjusted the volume. While I was waiting for my order, the staff politely asked me several times to say, "We're making the food right now, so please wait a little longer." The food exceeded my expectations and was all carefully prepared and very delicious. But the owner? A woman came to talk to most of the seats, so some people who came to enjoy the nice atmosphere inside the restaurant might feel that the friendly customer service was excessive.

I had a three-course lunch for 2,530 yen. The three types of hamburger steak, fried shrimp, and cream conger eel croquette are enough, but since they come with sashimi, salad, and a small side dish, it's hearty. The cream croquette was an unusual dish similar to spring rolls. There is a charge for drinks after the meal, but if you eat lunch, there will be a special charge. Payment can be made in advance using electronic money. Information as of August 2023

Charming place with cafeteria and restaurant service, full of details, excellent atmosphere (today Sunday with a jazz concert included), the attention and kindness could not have been better and the food delicious. Special mention of the chocolates; They have some very well made truffles made by the master chocolatier from raw cocoa. In addition, on the upper floor, they have a store of good quality clothing in a somewhat bohemian style and many accessories. Don't stop going up to see it.
