Dining Glamour: Where's the bbl tea?







Area:  about a 4 min walk northeast of Nagoya Station
Restaurant:  Dining Glamour  ダイニンググラマー
Website and Map:  http://d-glamour.jp/outline/index.html

Hours:  Lunch 11:30am-3pm (weekdays only), Dinner (reservation only)

Lunch is served until 2pm, but if you come after 1pm you get a free drink! There were 3 lunches to choose from, the pasta of the day (¥750), fresh pasta (¥850) or the rice dish.  All came with a carrot salad and dessert.

The carrot salad was nicely dressed with a light creamy dressing. The long strands of linguine like carrot makes me wonder how they do it, but it gives for a nice crunchy, easy to chew salad.   
The fresh pasta was cooked to a good al dente, obviously fresh pasta when bit in to.  It was almost like a soup pasta as the sauce was not that thick and more like milk. But even so, it was certainly not lacking in mentaiko flavor.

 Dessert was a rare cheese cake which tasted more like a castella cake, probably not housemade,  Coffee tasted a bit reheated, but for the price of this meal, I won't complain.  
It was filled with university aged women getting together for lunch, as well as businessmen, and women dining alone.  A Beatles CD was playing over the speakers.  Somehow it gave me the feeling of a Chinese bubble tea place;  trying to be modern and stylish, and almost there but somehow falling short.  It could be the lack of decor or the preparation area counter that gave this feeling.
