Splendid food. Small batches of food, felt individually prepared. The Omurice was great, the beef & pork keema was outstanding and the fried chicken was probably the best we’ve had in Japan. Go with time in your hand and enjoy your meal. The handmade written menus were such a vibe! Loved every aspect of the meal we had.

This is a lovely little cafe off the beaten track. I had the omelette and rice, it was very good. Recommend it to anyone in the area.

ランチで利用しました。日替わりランチを食べましたが、コンセプトにあるように身体に優しい料理といった感じでどれもこれも美味しかったです。 今度はデザートや他の料理も食べたいと思う素敵なお店でした。カウンターがあるので、おひとりさまでも入りやすいお店です。

京都銀行の裏、ちょっとわかりにくいところにあるカフェ。カウンターと二人掛けのテーブル席、奥に蔵があり四人掛けのテーブル席があります。 スタッフが女性ということもあり、女性一人ででも入りやすいお店です。女性一人のお客さんもチラホラ。 日替わりランチはサラダとメインで優しい味です。 ちょっと入りづらく、中の様子があまり見えませんがいい感じのお店です。

ランチメニューでオムライスをオーダー。ふかふか玉子にしっかりとしたチキンライスが絶妙で、大きめのベーコンがインパクトをもたらしてくれます。日替りの他、メニューも豊富にあるのが嬉しいですね。

【まのランチ(日替わり)950円】 平日の13時頃に訪問。まのランチを注文しました。店内はカウンター席や対面掛けの2人席、奥には4人席もあるようで、雰囲気が良く、美味しくお料理を食べることができました。 ボリュームがあるとか、すごく美味しいとかではないかも知れませんが、今回のポテトハンバーグ、ミートソースがけは丁寧に作られた感じがして、濃い味付けではないのですが、とても満足することができました。

2024.3来店 京都市営地下鉄五条駅から徒歩7分ほどのところ、烏丸通りを一本入った路地にあるお店です。 日替わりランチ(税込980円/ドリンク付は1250円)をはじめとしてランチメニューが充実しており、男女問わず一人での来店も多かったですカウンター席があるのもポイント高いです! ブランケットが用意してあったり、丹後産の胚芽米がおかわりできたりとサービス面も良かったです 味付けや量もちょうど良く、満足感が高かったのでオススメです!
