This is a Western-style restaurant in Toyako-cho. I visited it for the first time on the way to Lake Toya Onsen. I had a hard time deciding what to order, but I chose the Milanese-style cream cutlet. My family ordered seafood gratin, hamburger set, potato gratin, and carbonara. The cutlet was more like a cutlet than a tonkatsu. The creamy sauce was thick and delicious. The rice in the gratin was garlic rice seasoned with soy sauce, which paired perfectly with the bechamel sauce. The hamburger was tender and juicy, and the sauce was also delicious. Every dish was quite tasty, and I wish it was closer to Sapporo so I could visit more often. I definitely want to revisit when I come back to Lake Toya Onsen. Thank you for the meal!

We visited the restaurant for lunch with my partner OG. It's been about 30 years since we last came here when it was newly built. It seems to have been renovated. There were 3 groups of customers before us and 4 people after us. The background music was Western pop songs. We decided to share the hamburger and the pork cutlet. The pork cutlet was delicious, the meat and the sauce were great. The pumpkin soup was rich and tasty too. The hamburger was also delicious, but we both preferred the pork cutlet. The rice portion was small, so it's better to order the large serving. The hamburger set was 1150 yen, and the Milan-style cream cutlet was also 1150 yen. Thank you for the meal! (^^)v

Lake Toya area has a delicious Western-style restaurant. The meal menu ranges from 800 yen to 1,700 yen. As of November 2021, the rating is 3.17, but the potential is high! It's been more than 10 years since my last visit, maybe even longer! My first visit was probably when I was in junior high school. I've been to this area many times, but for some reason, I never ended up at this restaurant. A few months ago, I wanted to eat Western food and tried to visit this restaurant, but it was closed. So, with a sense of revenge, I checked their website to confirm they were open and visited on November 3. (During winter, they are often closed on Wednesdays and Thursdays, please check their website for details.) They open at 11 am, so I arrived around that time. The signboard cat eating food was so cute. The parking lot is gravel, with plenty of space, and it's free. I took a picture of the beautiful view of Lake Toya from the parking lot. The restaurant is located just slightly higher than the typical tourist spots in the Lake Toya area. When I entered, I already had a rough idea of what I wanted to order. My order was Red Pork for 1,700 yen (comes with rice, soup, salad, and coffee), my companion ordered Chicken Cacciatore Oven-baked for 1,700 yen (comes with rice, soup, salad, and coffee), and another companion ordered Carbonara for 800 yen (a la carte). I knew it would take some time for the food to arrive, so I relaxed and waited. The interior was cozy with a warm wood tone, and the fireplace added a nice touch. The view of Lake Toya from the window was fantastic. The salad was the first to arrive. It was fresh and crunchy, and I liked the light dressing. The soup was a pumpkin soup, and surprisingly, I enjoyed it even though I usually don't like the sweetness of pumpkins. The natural sweetness and richness of the pumpkin made the soup delicious. Now, onto the main dishes: Red Pork had both good and bad points. The bad part was that it had a lot of fatty parts, but the good part was that the lean meat was very tasty. It was similar to a pork chop, but not quite. The sauce was more tomato-based rather than ketchup-heavy. It had been stewed for two days, which resulted in tender lean meat, but the abundance of fatty parts made it a bit heavy towards the end. The carrots as a side were sweet, and the beans were tasty with a hint of char. Overall, the Red Pork was delicious. My companion's Chicken Cacciatore was cooked with a tomato sauce and cheese, and it looked beautiful. It had a taste that I preferred over the Red Pork, but it lacked a bit of punch. Both dishes seemed to deliberately tone down the bold flavors. The Carbonara pasta, although I didn't taste it, was reportedly good, with a slightly firm texture. The rice was delicious, as expected from a restaurant that serves good rice. The coffee served after the meal was strong and tasty. Overall, the Lake Toya area may be known for its scenery, but this restaurant offers meals ranging from 800 yen, and the atmosphere is lovely. It's a versatile place suitable for various occasions. I will definitely visit again.

"I ordered the Chicken Cacciatore Oven-Baked for 1700 yen and the Banana Juice for around 500 yen. The Banana Juice could have been a bit sweeter for my taste, and I felt it was a bit pricey. The salad had a light dressing with a hint of acidity, making it refreshing. The Pumpkin Soup lacked the sweetness of pumpkin and had a lingering vegetable taste, which was disappointing. The Chicken Cacciatore had carrots that were slightly tough for glazed carrots, with a good crunch. The sweetness was subtle, and the stewed tomatoes were quite tangy. The main chicken was tender and well-cooked, with a mild flavor that was just right in terms of saltiness. It paired well with the cheese, and the sweetness and texture of the vegetables added a nice touch. Overall, it was a bit on the pricier side, but the dishes were worth the cost. The Chicken Cacciatore was recommended by the restaurant, but another dish that was also recommended was the Red Pork, which was featured on TV. When I tried it on a different day, the taste wasn't significantly better, but the meat was incredibly tender and satisfying. I would like to visit this restaurant again if I have the chance."

We visited Kizuki Canadian Club for a drive lunch with my partner. Located in the Tsukura area just before entering the Lake Toya hot spring town, about 100 kilometers south of Sapporo on Route 230, this hotel and restaurant is surrounded by forests and lakes. The wooden building and sign are landmarks. We arrived just before lunchtime, greeted by cute objects reminiscent of a Canadian forest, creating a pleasant sense of escape from reality. The menu featured dishes like "Red Pork" and "Chicken Cacciatore Oven-Baked," both priced at 1700 yen, along with other options like hamburgers, curry, pasta, and sweets ranging from 1000 yen. I ordered the Red Pork, while my partner chose the Seafood Spaghetti after browsing through the menu. The Red Pork, made with Datte-produced whey-fed "Golden Pork," was incredibly tender and flavorful, cooked for two days. The dish was visually appealing, with a good balance of lean and fatty meat. The fatty part melted in the mouth with a sweet taste, while the lean meat was tender and flavorful, complemented by a slightly tangy sauce. The side dishes included glazed carrots, a few green beans, a mini salad, pumpkin soup, and rice. The portion of rice seemed small at first, but it turned out to be sufficient due to the generous serving of meat. The meal was finished off with a coffee that had a strong acidity and bitterness, complementing the dish well. My partner enjoyed the handmade Seafood Spaghetti, praising its gentle flavor. Overall, we were satisfied with the Red Pork and look forward to visiting again. Thank you for a delicious meal.

The interior of the log house located at Lake Toya was very cozy. The pasta was delicious! In winter, the fireplace is burning wood, creating a warm atmosphere. The building, typical of Hokkaido, is impressive and makes your heart feel warm.

The environment is really great!

I stayed overnight and had a Western-style dinner and Japanese-style breakfast. The accommodation was a log house, quite nice. It seems they reduced the number of rooms and added new toilets and baths. The rooms are very clean, and you can enjoy a view of Lake Toya from the bath. The food was very delicious. It's different from restaurant service, but the meals were tasty and generous. It seems they care about the ingredients, and although Lake Toya is known for red beef, the Toya black beef steak I had that day was so delicious.

Arrived around 12:30 on Sunday, not too crowded and was seated at a table right away. Was handed the menu and had originally decided on the hamburger, but then saw the pork cutlet curry while flipping through the pages. Ended up ordering the pork cutlet curry after some hesitation. The pork cutlet arrived. The cutlet was on the smaller side and the meat was thin and slightly tough. The breading was a bit prone to falling off. The curry sauce seemed to have been cooked well, but I wonder if they used the solid type of store-bought roux? It was a bit disappointing. It wasn't the must-try dish for a first visit. (bitter smile) Next time, I'll go for the hamburger.

I drove on a perfect day for a drive. I rolled down to the Toyako Tsukiura area. The lakeside on a summer day feels amazing. The natural cool breeze is refreshing. On the way, I stopped at a place where three birds landed. I heard that this place, "Kitsutsuki Canadian Club," was built by the previous owner with great care. Nearby, there is a campsite and a few houses can be seen. As I stepped into the store, the first thing that caught my eye was the "Lake Toya" in the shape of a mountain. Then my gaze moved up to the high ceiling. The interior decorations are quite a collection. I ordered "Pork Chop," "Hamburger," and "Cream Cutlet" each for ¥1080 with rice included, drinks sold separately. I had the "Cream Cutlet." The sauce clung to the cutlet as if embracing it. The sweet carrots on the side were also delicious. The shiny appearance from the butter was energizing. The perfect location and delicious food. I realized that the memories of this day will definitely be etched in my mind.

It seemed to be run by a mother and her son in their 40s. You can enjoy a meal in a pleasant log house atmosphere while overlooking Lake Toya. The course lunch is priced at 3,240 yen, with the choice between Lake Toya Wagyu steak and Canadian lobster for the main dish. They served appetizers separately for seafood and meat. The son provided simple explanations of the dishes. Reservations for the course menu are required at least two days in advance, but there are various other menu options available for same-day visits. The standout dish was the corn chowder, incredibly sweet without any added sugar. The handmade sauce for the main dish was delicious. However, the portion size felt a bit small. It would be nice to have all-you-can-eat bread. The most impressive part was the smile of the mother.

***August, a certain day*** I visited Lake Toya for sightseeing and was recommended to try the hamburger here for lunch. The log house is lovely. The hamburger set comes with soup, salad, and a choice of red tea or coffee. The hamburger was juicy, tender, and the demi-glace sauce was delicious. The Red Pork set had a special sauce that was not too overpowering, with a sweet and tender taste. The Lake Toya-produced Akamatsu Wagyu beef stew was soft and tasty. There were many dishes and desserts that I wanted to try, so I would definitely like to visit again when I come back to Lake Toya. The weather was not the best that day, but when I went out to the terrace, the view of Lake Toya was breathtaking. It must have been even more beautiful if it was sunny. Next time, I will definitely sit on the terrace. I could see some cottages from the terrace, so it seems like they offer accommodation as well. Thank you for the delicious meal. ❤

On August 25, 2013, I visited the Kitsu Kitsu Canadian Club on my way to Nakajima Island in Lake Toya, a power spot. I learned about this place from a TV show where comedians stopped by and the food looked delicious and reasonably priced. So, I decided to give it a try. I ordered the Red Pork that the comedians had on the show, and it was really delicious! The sweetness spread throughout my mouth, and the meat was so tender that it melted in my mouth. I would love to have it again, and I highly recommend it to everyone. I took a picture, but unfortunately, the file got corrupted.

Located just a little up the mountain past the Tsukinu Onsen Street in Lake Toya Town, this stylish log house restaurant has a great atmosphere. I tried Akakawa beef for the first time and it was delicious. It wasn't as tender as I expected, but maybe that's a characteristic of Akakawa beef? I don't know much about the features of Akakawa beef, but the meat was tasty! The sauce was also smooth and delicious. The pumpkin soup was also delicious. The parfait looked tempting, especially the blueberry yogurt parfait. I would like to come back again, but it's quite far away...

I went during Golden Week. It was lunchtime and there was only one seat left, so we squeezed in. The staff seemed very busy due to the crowded time, and they told us it would take about 20 minutes to serve the food. I had a small child with me, so I let them play outside while we waited. The outside area had a nice view of Lake Toya and was decorated with flowers and dolls, providing a comfortable space for children to wait. The inside of the restaurant felt a bit cramped. There weren't many seats. The food was all delicious. The kids especially loved the pangrattan. The creamy flavor was really tasty. There were also Canadian-themed items for sale at the entrance, and the displays inside were unique and interesting.

I stopped by during a drive around Lake Toya on a holiday. The parking lot had space for more than 10 cars, so there was plenty of room. The restaurant had a rustic atmosphere with lots of wood. I ordered the pork chop, which is their specialty. The taste was not very delicate, but it was delicious and the portion was generous. It cost around 1500 yen, including rice, salad, and soup. Considering the location, it felt a bit pricey. The view was nice, and on a clear day, you can see Lake Toya, so overall, it was decent.
