週末ランチタイムに行きました。 オープン直後に入り大業を待っていると、瞬く間に満席に。 カフェレストランですが、キーマカレー美味しかったです。 また伺います。

スペシャルランチを頂きました。 とても美味しかったです。 食事、サービス、雰囲気共に素晴らしかったです。 ただトイレのドアの立て付けが悪かったのと、便座の裏が汚れていたのが気になりました。

ずっとインスタで気になってたお店 スペシャルランチを頂いてきました。 食材の数が多いので それぞれとっても丁寧に作られてる印象です。 味はもちろん目でも楽しめるので テンションも上がりますね この日のお気に入りは 日替わり?のパスタ。 柚子胡椒とキノコのクリームソースだったかな? 柚子胡椒の風味もよく、たっぷりのキノコが嬉しい〜 パスタに練り込まれてる黒ごまも素敵 クリームだけど最後まで飽きずにさっぱり食べられました。 女子二人で行って、同じ料理でも お皿の色をあえて変えていたりするので お料理の印象もガラリと変わります 今回はランチに伺ったのですが お店の照明や窓の光の感じもよくて (案内された席にもよると思いますが) ついつい女子トーク盛り上がって長居しちゃいました それくらい雰囲気もとっても素敵なお店です 今度は是非ディナーでお邪魔したくなるお店 女子同士はもちろん、デートもオススメです!

White Sesame Black Sesame is a really nice café with very friendly and helpful staff and really good price-to-volume. It’s a quick 45 second walk from the nearest bus stop on the city loop line, and there’s parking for around 15 cars if you decide to drive. The café doesn’t accept credit cards, so be sure you have cash on hand. Lunch is a very popular time to go, and there are usually 5 different sets to choose from with different combinations possible. There’s seating for around 25-30 people, but it’s large enough that you won’t feel cramped. The decor natural-chic, making feel a bit price without the pricey part. The food is a Japanese take on western and Asian foods with choices from pasta, taco rice, green curry and more. Our group got a mix of everything and everyone was satisfied, full, and happy!

平日の13時頃ランチで利用しました。 時間的なこともあり先客は2組で静かめで落ち着いた雰囲気です。 あまりお腹は空いてなかったのですが、トマト系のパスタが食べたくなりスペシャルランチ注文しました。サラダやスープ、食前酒はすぐに届きさつまいものスープが濃厚で美味しかったです。 前菜のプレートは様々な野菜やお肉や海老なども添えられておりボリュームも目にも鮮やかでした。メインは茄子と大葉のボロネー 麺に胡麻が混ぜ込んであり風味豊かで美味しかったです。 デザートのプレートも少しずつ色々なものが食べられ嬉しかったです。 ドリンクもつき2300円はお値打ちだと思います。
