If your body is lacking veggies, but don't feel like salad...



Area: Chikamichi チカミチラウンジ (Crosscourt Tower B1), about a 3 min walk from Nagoya Station
Restaurant:  Beer Bar Ma Maison
Website and Map: http://www.ma-maison.co.jp/beerbar.html

Having my break from work after lunch hours, it's difficult to find places that are still serving food (not just sweets and drinks).  This bar however serves food from open til close.  You can choose from lunch sets such as curry, omelette rice, hamburger patties, croquettes, etc or there is also the option of ordering dishes a la carte.

Today, I chose the seasonal vegetable curry (980円).  The vegetables are cooked in an iron pot (cabbage, lotus root, sweet potato, onion, bamboo) so you can use the curry like a dip.  I'm a fan of grilled veggies, so I quite enjoyed the flavour.  They aren't seasoned but curry is pretty heavy on the flavour side, so they match well together.   I'm not so keen on the match of miso soup and curry (something salty with yet an even saltier side), but this combo is often found around city.

Next time, I'd like to try a cheese plate and order a beer! Seems like they have REAL cheese, and not just the processed stuff.
