Otsu, Shiga, Japan｜cafe822

Oh Wow!!! We were in the area (visiting the Biwako Museum) and searching for a place to eat lunch. Cafe 822 looked good from the pics and they had high review rating so I decided to try it. That turned out to be a great decision! Situated next to the river running out of the Kyoto end of lake Biwako the view out of the cafe is really nice. The decor really suits the view. The staff/owners are super friendly and very very kind. The food was beautifully and thoughtfully presented and was as delicious as it looked. Both my kids thoroughly enjoyed their meals. My youngest who had the chicken curry is usually very very fussy with food, was completely silent as he was too busy eating his order until the plate was clean!!!😅 My wife actually did not order anything expecting him not to eat much which is what usually happens. My oldest boy ordered a sandwich with chips which he said was fantastic and and asked "when are we coming back again?". I tried his chips and they were indeed crispy and delicious! I ordered the hamburger with roast beef and a beef stew sauce. The Chef very kindly accepted my request to add the crab croquet from another menu item to my order so be warned the picture in my post isn't a meal that you will currently see on the menu. The crab croquet by itself was devine as I knew it would be. I would highly recommend ordering the front cover menu item which has the crab croquet included. This may be a seasonal item as it is "crab" season currently. I hope though that they keep it all year round🙏. This is one of those places I will keep coming back to. Price, quality, location and the service made this a totally amazing experience. Thank you cafe.822 for a lovely experience 🙏.

very good

I went there before 11:05 on a Sunday morning and was number one. Choose your favorite seat, on the sofa by the window🛋️. Great weather and great views. The order is a type to go to the counter and pay in advance at that time. I had the bacon and egg sandwich set (930 yen). Sweets and drinks are set. The sweets change daily and are written on the whiteboard next to the cash register. Today was creme brulee. The bread is soft, fluffy and sweet. Bacon and eggs are hearty. It was very delicious and responsive. The location was good and it was a wonderful time⌚️ I want to go again⭐️
