Cane for dinner with friends and it was a great experience. Vintage inspired interior with many dry flowers and raw wood. All sides are well thought of mixed with different subtle ingredients giving unique flavour. The waitress might be new so when I asked her what some of the dishes we are having are she couldnt answer them straight away. We asked for hot water and all our cups tasted like some food (a stew or potage) either from the sponge they used or the material of the cup. But the food is great especially the tororo, tasted fresh with mixed of seaweed. Will come back if around the area

溝の口にけっこう前からあるお店で、TVKテレビのLOVE KAWASAKIという番組で取り上げられてから何回か行ったお店です。地元の食材使ってるという感じで取り上げられてました。新型コロナ流行の後は行けてませんでしたが、今回久しぶりに行ってみました。 おしゃれ感あり栄養のありそうなランチが食べられます。 7月下旬の土曜日、14時30分頃訪問。満席でしたので名前記載して待ちます。待ちの先客は2名。外待ち用のベンチと椅子がありまして7名ほど座れます。 14時36分くらいに入店。カウンターを利用しました。私が入るころには更に5名追加で待ちが発生してました。時間ずらして行きましたがさすが人気店、週末は混みますね。 お店の広さはカウンター3席,2名席×2,4名席×1,8名席×1です。8名席は相席になります。 TETO-TEO定食を注文。1,980円と値段はします。ご褒美ランチという感じですね。 15分ほど待って提供。魚と肉のメインディッシュがあり、小鉢が4種類ついてきます。かなり贅沢感あり健康にも良さそうな感じです。これは値段相当と思いました。 お肉の主菜はよだれ鶏、お魚の主菜はマグロの竜田揚げ。どちらもかなり美味しいです。ご飯追加すれば良かった^^; 小鉢も全てクオリティ高く、特に茄子とピーマンの甘味噌和えが美味しかったです。 いつも人気があるのが分かる美味しさでした。で、お水も美味しくて暑い中だったので何回もおかわりしてしまいました。 夏季限定でかき氷とスパイスカレーのお店をLen溝の口本店内に出しているようです。今度カレーを食べに行ってみたいと思います。 ※日を改めて早速カレーを食べに行ってきました。本日のカレー(ラムキーマカレー)、マジに美味かったです。

A traditional teishoku restaurant with a modern flair. An order consists of a number of small dishes made daily from fresh produce and the menu changes from day to day. Ambiance is cozy and lively.

Saw good reviews in a few different sites. We arrived early. We sat in front of the restaurant and waited for the restaurant to open at 11:30am. Glad we came early. Without reservation, very limited number of tables are available. Really cute country atmosphere. Small but it looks open with big front window. We had chicken curry. Delicious!!! Good amount of spices and healthy rice on the side. You can specify how much rice you want. All the dishes look healthy and delicious. I would love to come back to try other dishes.

Every piece of food contains a mix of local fresh ingredients. Everything is extremely well made and tasty. It is a comfort food. The amount is also very good and filling. The pudding is big and silky. The crispy brûlée top with salt and caramel flavors makes everything perfect!

I perched and had a glass of red wine and pudding as this attached picture. This sweet has caramel source topping and its surface on pudding, the stuff roasting with burner. That makes it not only sweet dessert bitter too but more rich sweet.

Nice little restaurant. Tried one food option, it included a variation of dishes. It was tasty! I liked the decoration, but it was quite busy/overwhelming. The restaurant is small, so you might be forced to sit at one table with strangers in front of you and watch each other eat :-)
