I visited for lunch at the request of my wife! This is a charming restaurant within "Grand elsun," which is well-known in the area for wedding venues, party halls, and beer halls. We enjoyed lunch at Café & Dining East (formerly known as Le Joli Chapeau)! This restaurant offers dishes made with seasonal ingredients from Shonai, featuring seafood delivered directly from Yura Port and a selection of fresh vegetables! Today, we had: - A hearty Hamburger Steak with plenty of vegetables - Spaghetti with Small Shrimp and Zucchini For appetizers, we ordered: - Balsamic Salad - Egg Omelet - Beans in Tomato Sauce The seasoning was spot on! The fluffiness of the omelet combined with the acidity of the beans' tomato sauce was delicious! The "Hearty Hamburger Steak" was tender and flavorful, cooked with seasonal summer vegetables from Shonai and a rich tomato sauce. The tomato broth soup was delightful also! Then there was the "Spaghetti with Small Shrimp and Zucchini"; the sauce, seasoned with salt, perfectly coated the al dente pasta, made with zucchini and small shrimp sautéed in olive oil and garlic. The minestrone I chose as my soup was packed with ingredients! We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch! Thank you for the wonderful meal! I would love to come back! Thank you for the meal.
