This bar/bistro/cafe serves lunch until 3pm, but turns into a cafe after and still serves food. I came at cafe time, so I had a small menu to choose from. There's pasta, french fries, sausages etc. I went for the hamburger doria (¥1000). It came with a salad as well. I was surprised at the volume of this salad; normally accompanying salads in Japan are scant. It was well dressed with a nice vinaigrette and had a good variety of vegetables (including edible petals and alfalfa sprouts, a rarity). This time there was enough dressing to coat every bite.
The doria was filled with shimeji mushrooms and okra as well as kernels of corn. I'm not so sure the sliminess and flavor of the okra went well with the sauce, but it gave the dish crunch. The sauce was a simple tomato sauce, probably made fresh, seasoned with only a slight amount of salt and lardons. The hamburger patty, on the other hand, was heavily seasoned, so perhaps it all balanced out with the sauce. The meat was soft but not mushy and still had bite. The melted cheese topping was a good match for this dish.
