I arrived at Otaru Station and found a restaurant to eat at. It is located along the national highway, within walking distance from the station with good accessibility. It seems less crowded on holidays, perhaps because it is on the opposite side of the tourist area. There is a separate parking lot available for customers. The restaurant is in an old building, small and charming, with a cozy atmosphere and jazz music playing in the background. They offer several lunch options and also serve full-course dinners in the evening. The signature dish seems to be the simmered hamburger, but I ordered the 150g Black Pepper Burger Steak for 1100 yen, which looked delicious in the photo. It is a sauce-less hamburger, but juicy and very tasty. Although I wanted to try their demi-glace sauce, I thought maybe I should have ordered the simmered version later, but this hamburger without sauce is also incredibly delicious. The rice portion is not large as it is served on a flat plate, so I recommend getting a large portion if you are hungry. Surprisingly, they serve zenzai (sweet red bean soup) after the meal, which is a nice touch for a Western-style restaurant. I also tried their new menu item, MUSE Romantic Curry for 900 yen, and it was delicious as well. Every dish was tasty and reasonably priced. They accept card and QR payments, which is convenient. I enjoyed the food so much that I would love to visit again for dinner.

I visited the restaurant around 11 o'clock on a weekday. I was looking for a Western-style restaurant in Otaru and found this place. I decided to order the 300g stewed hamburger steak set for 1900 yen. First, I had the enoki mushroom consomme soup, which had a gentle and delicious flavor. The hamburger steak was firm and the demi-glace sauce had a nice touch of red wine, making it very tasty.

I had a solo meal in Otaru. I entered a cafe with a retro atmosphere. It had an antique feel to it and I really liked the calm atmosphere. I ordered the stewed hamburger steak (200g) and a small salad. The salad was quite voluminous with root vegetables included and it was delicious. Now, the stewed hamburger steak. It was so tender and the sauce was splattering everywhere, so be careful if you're wearing white clothes! I devoured it quickly and wished I had ordered the 300g portion instead. I would definitely like to visit this place again.

On the second day, I decided to explore Otaru and searched for a place to have lunch. I found this Western-style restaurant that seemed to have delicious hamburgers and omurice. I made a reservation and when I arrived, the restaurant was fully booked! I was glad I made a reservation. After much deliberation, I ordered the omurice, hamburger, and a mixed plate of small shrimp fry, along with curry rice. I also ordered a glass of wine. The omurice was beautifully presented in a dressed style, and the hamburger came with two large shrimp fries. Even though the menu said small shrimp fry, they were anything but small - the size was impressive and I was delighted. The curry rice came with a sunny-side-up egg, and everything looked so tempting. The demi sauce was a bit rich, which may have been a bit heavy for the kids, but everything was delicious. I particularly enjoyed the satisfaction of the shrimp fries.

I went on a trip to Otaru to celebrate my birthday. My partner chose a restaurant for us. I was unsure of what to order, but ended up getting soup, pasta, and pizza. The pasta had firm noodles with a punch, and the pizza was more generous in portion than it looked. I wanted to go to a restaurant where locals frequent rather than touristy places, and I received a great gift.

I visited after about 10 years. The interior felt even more cluttered than before. The Iittala Teema plates were still the same. And the taste is delicious! Above all, it's great value for money. A generous serving of soup, main dish, drink, and dessert for around 1000 yen. Dessert used to be Shiratama Zenzai, but this time it was ice cream. They serve ice cream in the summer. I would love to visit if it were nearby!

Today, I went to Muse for the first time in a while. It's a lovely Western-style restaurant with a great atmosphere. It's quite popular, isn't it? I ordered the medium-sized shrimp omelette rice (1300 yen) with soup. The omelette rice that was brought to me had a unique visual appearance! The deep yellow egg was swirling around like a whirlpool, probably due to the cheese effect. The plate, shaped like a fish, was not very Western-style but still cute. On top of the omelette rice were cherry shrimp. Inside, there were plenty of juicy shrimp. Truly a shrimp omelette rice. And the demi-glace sauce was incredibly delicious! It was light and easy to eat, yet had plenty of depth. The rice inside had a harmonious taste with the demi-glace sauce, creating an overall well-balanced dish. I still had room in my stomach, so I could have easily finished a large size too. As a post-meal treat, I was served zenzai just like last time. Muse left me with a much better impression this time. I will definitely go back again. Thank you for the meal!

The atmosphere inside the restaurant was calm, with soft lighting and piano music playing. The omurice looked delicious, so I decided to try the hamburger set. The recommended demiglace sauce was really tasty. The restaurant seemed popular as it was fully booked. However, if you are not particular about taste and prefer a cheaper option with larger portions of hamburgers, it might be better to go to a certain chain restaurant.

It is located about a 5-minute walk from JR Otaru Station, facing east on National Route 5. I was guided to a table with wooden doors open. I looked through the menu on the table. I ordered the most popular lunch menu item, the "Stewed Hamburg Steak." The interior of the restaurant is stylish, with an upright piano in the back. It arrived in about 15 minutes. The stewed hamburg steak was served in a brown dish, piping hot. It had a moist texture and the demi-glace sauce was very flavorful. The rice was relatively firm, and the potatoes tasted sweet. The set soup was mushroom soup, with a good mushroom flavor. The generous portion was also appreciated. The set drink came with a dessert of ice cream. The "Stewed Hamburg Steak 150g" was priced at 1,200 yen including tax. It was lunchtime, so the restaurant was full of families and couples.٩( ᐛ )و

I had lunch at a popular Western-style restaurant. The hamburger is cooked in homemade demi-glace sauce. Both the demi-glace and the hamburger itself were delicious. The omurice looks beautiful, and the eggs have a fluffy texture, which was also tasty. The dessert, shiratama, is soft and delicious. Above all, the customer service is excellent, making it a place I would like to visit again.

The interior of the restaurant is stylish and nice. I tried the simmered hamburger steak (200g) with red wine, which was highly praised in reviews. I could tell that there was something different about the hamburger steak here. It is of very high quality and delicious. I can't describe it well, so if you're interested, please try it yourself.

A shop located slightly off the tourist spots in Otaru. The exterior of the shop has a nostalgic Showa-era charm. Upon entering, the interior is dimly lit with candles, creating a completely different atmosphere from the outside. There is a Daruma stove inside, which may give a different feel during the winter season. I tried the shop's specialty omurice with sauce, and it was richer and more delicious than I had imagined. The shape was also different from the typical omurice, making it visually appealing as well.

On a certain holiday in Otaru before the JR fare revision, there is a Western-style restaurant located along the Inaho 1-5 line that caught my eye as I passed by. The parking situation is unconfirmed. The interior of the restaurant is of a standard coffee shop size, with 5 counter seats and about 3 tables, giving off a calm atmosphere with a slightly dim and old wooden feel. However, on this particular day, all the customers seemed to be having a big photo shoot of their dishes. The background music is quietly playing piano jazz. From the menu on this day, I was captivated by the menu structure that truly reflects a Western-style restaurant, and my excitement grew as I couldn't decide, so I chose the "muse combo plate (1800 yen)" which seemed like it would satisfy my greedy feelings. I ordered an iced coffee as my drink from a kind-looking waitress. There was the sound of something being fried, then the sound of the air being released from the hamburger, probably the sound of the hamburger being cooked, and after a while... Ah! The advance team's soup arrived, and with a sip, the onion soup with a hint of mushroom flavor calmed my mind. Once again, the main dish arrived, and with a bite... Wow, the hamburger is a traditional and classic one, with a dense and firm "meat" of beef that can be enjoyed, and the slightly sweet and slightly bitter taste of the demi-glace sauce that gently yet firmly supports the hamburger is outstanding. It may sound strange, but even the texture was good. Next, the omelette rice was different from the usual, with a tall dark yellow omelette, and the presence of cheese mentioned in the menu was a mystery to me. Inside... Ah, it seemed to be a dish completed by combining this demi-glace sauce rather than the usual ketchup rice, with bacon, carrots, and green peppers as the ingredients. The broccoli, carrots, and potatoes soaked in the demi-glace sauce were also delicious. The carefully crafted demi-glace sauce is described as follows: "A sauce made by stewing plenty of collagen-rich beef tendon meat and plenty of vegetables, as well as red wine. We use homemade herbs for flavoring, and the sauce has been aged and replenished daily. It is our pride and joy." For dessert, warm zenzai with white rice cakes was good, and I finished my iced coffee. I realized that although it was a bit pricey, I was glad I ordered both the hamburger and the omelette rice. Thank you for the meal.

I have been there a few times. It's a stylish Western restaurant along the national highway. I usually stop by for lunch. I think I had a girls' night out there once. They offered a set with one drink included for around ¥○○○. Now, what I had was the "Organic Black Pepper Hamburger Steak." It was loaded with pepper. The aroma when the pepper grains burst was amazing. Another dish I tried was the "Muse Combo Plate," which lets you enjoy both the famous omelette rice and simmered hamburger steak in one dish. It's quite filling, but worth it. The rice for the omelette rice isn't ketchup rice. It's brown... I wonder what it is? A mystery. But it's delicious, so it's all good (laughs). I'd like to come back at night too. I'm curious about the night set.

The atmosphere and taste of the restaurant are both fantastic. A must-visit when in Otaru.

I have used this restaurant once for lunch and three times for takeout. Their specialty dish, the simmered hamburger, is voluminous and has a soft, fluffy texture that makes you want to keep eating. I tried it once for lunch and got hooked. The restaurant is decorated with Dutch plates and the candles on each table create a magical atmosphere, making it a cozy place to dine. They also occasionally hold concerts. I have since used their takeout service a few times. I also ordered the shrimp fry, which surprised me with its size! The batter was very thin, and the shrimp inside was thick and satisfying to eat. I look forward to trying out other menu items in the future.

I went to a restaurant based on a friend's recommendation and tried the chef's special course. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere from the outside, with a cozy feel of a Western-style eatery. Inside, there were 4 table seats and some counter-style seats. I felt that the placement of magazines and small items was a bit messy. I wished they had explained the contents of the course at the beginning, as I didn't know what to expect. We started with Otaru Beer Weiss. The dishes included appetizers, a cheese plate, a small but flavorful domestic stewed hamburger, shrimp fry (only one for two people, which felt a bit lacking), delicious pizza, and pasta (one serving for two people). No coffee or dessert was included. We also had wine by the glass, each priced at 800 yen, including a French Chateau Jura and a French Private Reserve Bordeaux (which I think was a wine preferred by women). Overall, if it's the chef's choice, it would be better to explain the course contents and the wine pairing. The arrangement of dishes felt a bit disjointed. I think 2900 yen was reasonable for the experience.

The restaurant has a calm atmosphere along Oodori Avenue, to the point where you might forget that the hamburger is not stewed but served with demiglace sauce. The stewed hamburger steak is excellent. When you want to eat a delicious and healthy hamburger, this is the place to go. You feel satisfied without feeling heavy. The hamburger is plump and soft, so you can even eat it with just a spoon. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is nice, and the staff are kind and friendly. The Musu Combo Plate for 1800 yen, with stewed hamburger and demiglace omurice, had elegant flavors and was delicious! I was impressed by the cuteness of the omurice!
