A restaurant with a name like "Ponyo on the Cliff" located right on the hill, offering a lunch with a view of Mount Yotei. The specialty here is the delicious vegetables, including the famous lily roots of Makkari Village. #Lunch #MakkariVillage #Hokkaido #gourmet #EnoLog #HokkaidoLove

Someone wrote that they feel anxious about whether it's okay to continue here. When they started feeling anxious, they saw a sign. There are signs at two forks in the road, so it's reassuring. It was getting late, so they were thinking about having a light meal, but it turned out to be quite filling. They were glad they didn't order rice or bread. As shown in the picture, there are plenty of vegetables. Just eating vegetables with a good crunch makes them feel full. And the taste of the vegetables themselves is delicious. They will come back with a bigger appetite next time.

Well, the motorcycle season is coming to an end. Since it gets dark early, I have a rule to return home while it's still light, so I can't go too far. I searched for a place to have lunch and decided to go here. The restaurant's top page on Tabelog mentioned to refer to Google Maps, but the location on Tabelog map was completely different (now corrected). So I transferred the Google Maps location to my motorcycle navigation system and visited the restaurant. The name says "Restaurant on the Hill," but the road is flat even when riding a bike, so you don't feel like you're on a hill. However, when you look at the back of the restaurant, you can feel that it's on a small hill. The entrance is barrier-free, and all seats are tables, so I felt a bit awkward sitting alone. There are no set menus, so you can choose your favorite appetizer, main dish, and dessert. I ordered corn soup for the appetizer and garlic sautéed Rusutsu pork shoulder loin with homemade potato bread for the main dish. The corn soup had a delicious texture and flavor that spread in my mouth. When the main dish arrived, I thought, "Huh? Not much meat!" It was supposed to be garlic sautéed, so I imagined a steak-like pork, but in reality, there was a small piece of meat on one side of the plate, and the main focus was on the vegetables. I bit into what I thought was a potato and realized it was a turnip, and it was delicious! The other vegetables were also tasty, and I understood that this restaurant focuses on vegetables. The garlic sautéed Rusutsu pork shoulder loin had a strong garlic flavor and the right amount of salt, but it fell short in presentation and quantity (laughs). Surprisingly, the homemade potato bread was delicious, so next time I'll order two portions. Thank you for the meal.

I visited the restaurant after confirming that it was open the day before. I ordered Lily Bulb Potage Soup, Taco Pizza, Rusutsu Pork in Tomato Stew, and Potato-infused Bread. The vegetable soup is said to be typical of Hokkaido. The pizza has a strong flavor and the crust is delicious. The Rusutsu pork in tomato stew comes with plenty of vegetables and is very satisfying. The pork belly is tender and the tomato flavor is mild. The dish is more unique and recommended than the pizza because the vegetables are delicious. Be careful when using the car navigation system to search for the destination phone number, as it may lead you to a different location. The restaurant is located on a hill surrounded by farmland. It is open for reservations at night if the staff are available.

The vegetables were delicious. I was able to eat the pickles for the appetizer, even though I usually don't like them. They were fresh, so that's why. The turnips and other vegetables were surprisingly sweet for being raw. The bread was soft and chewy. The interior of the restaurant is stylish and calming.

I had the lunch course. It was full of vegetables, and the sautéed Niseko pork was sweet and tender, and delicious. It was unfortunately cloudy today, but if it had been sunny, the view would have been wonderful too.

The vegetable dishes like lotus root were delicious. The pizza with potatoes in the dough was also fluffy and tasty. It was a bit early for lunch, so we went right after the restaurant opened around 11 am with our family of five, including three elementary school kids. It can be difficult to bring kids to a formal restaurant, but we wanted to treat them to something nice once in a while (especially since my wife, who rarely gets to go to such places, wanted it). The atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed, making it easy for families with children to enjoy. The adults were satisfied with both the ambiance and the flavors.

Even on weekdays, some menu items are sold out by 12:30.

This is Makari, I went to Ichi〇Fuji with high expectations to eat my favorite Makari herb pork, but it was closed (´･З･`) This irregular closing is too muchヽ(`Д´)ﾉ Since I had plenty of time that day, I decided to drive to the mountains in Makari, which I hadn't visited for a while. What a location! It's in Hokkaido, with a panoramic view of 360 degrees. The restaurant was empty, even though it was lunchtime on a weekday. For lunch, we ordered three dishes: Herb Chicken for me and another person, and some kind of Rusutsu pork for the other person. The appetizer was smoked duck and homemade pickles, which was delicious. The soup was Snow Carrot, which is a sweet type of carrot, but to me, a carrot is just a carrot. The salad was made mostly of carrots and lettuce with a sweet dressing. The main dishes lacked flavor, with the Herb Chicken and Rusutsu pork being bland. The dessert was a pudding-like substance with a caramelized top, but the texture was unpleasantly icy inside. The temperature difference between the top and the middle of the dessert was odd. Overall, I won't be visiting this restaurant again.

The restaurant has a great taste, cost performance, and atmosphere. The abundant use of vegetables makes it seem like you can become healthier with just one meal. The turnips were incredibly delicious. The main dish was generous in portion and perfectly seasoned. The classic potato bread was fluffy and delicious. The dessert was so well-crafted that it didn't feel like part of a lunch set. Appetizer, soup, main course (pork, chicken, or pasta), bread or rice, dessert - all for only 1600 yen, which is too cheap! The restaurant was originally dreamed up by a farmer, and you can feel their desire for people to enjoy delicious food. The staff members were lovely, responding happily with "thank you" every time we praised the food. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

The main volume is amazing at this rural restaurant. I went for lunch with my senior on a weekend afternoon. When we arrived, it was full and there were two groups waiting. When I called before lunch, it didn't seem crowded. It was warm that day, so I chose the lunch where you can pick your main dish - either pork or chicken or pasta. I wanted the pork cutlet, but it was sold out, so I ended up getting the chicken and pasta. It was really crowded and the flow was quite poor, the appetizer took a long time to come... we didn't even get water... (frustrating). Finally, the chicken ham and baguette with carrot jam and vegetables arrived. Hmm, it was okay, but I noticed that the vegetables were reused in both dishes - burdock, carrot, and turnip. Even though the seasoning was different, it didn't look very appealing. The carrot soup was thick and tasty. The pasta main dish was huge... too much for one person to eat alone. My senior and I shared it and finished it, but there were more people leaving their mains uneaten, maybe because it was too much... it was like a dinner-sized portion. It's a good deal for a stylish restaurant in the countryside. The food was easy to eat and not too rich, suitable for everyone. I can't remember what the dessert was, so it must have been ordinary. It's a stylish space, so it might be intimidating for men to go alone, but I recommend it for men who can eat a lot.

A standalone house standing in a wide field, offering a lovely Western-style restaurant with a view of Mount Yotei. We stopped by for lunch on our drive to Lake Toya. The weather was clear and we had a beautiful view of Mount Yotei~ ^^ The lunch menu consists of one course priced at 1600 yen (tax included). It includes appetizer, soup, main dish, choice of bread or rice, dessert, and a drink. You can choose from three main dishes. The vegetables used are locally sourced from the vicinity of Muroran, and the freshness is great. Appetizers: Yellowtail carpaccio, vegetable pickles, and pork rillettes on sliced bread. Seasonal soup: Lily root potage. Main dish: Sauteed Rusutsu pork shoulder loin with onion and whole grain mustard sauce. Bread: Potato focaccia, potato bread. Dessert: Milk ice cream with strawberry sauce. Drink: Black tea (Darjeeling). I particularly liked the Lily root potage! It was thick and rich, more like eating than drinking, and very flavorful. The side dishes like the potatoes were delicious as well. The main dish of Rusutsu pork was tender and tasty, but the sauce was quite ordinary and could have been more creative. The "Short Pasta Fuzilli with Snow Crab and Seafood Tomato Cream Sauce" that my partner ordered is highly recommended! The seafood flavor was strong and it paired well with the short pasta. You can choose between bread and rice, but I recommend the bread here. The potato focaccia and potato bread made with local potatoes were delicious on their own. You can also purchase the potato focaccia and potato bread for 200 yen each. We enjoyed the dessert of ice cream and black tea while relaxing and gazing at Mount Yotei. However, the black tea was quite weak and lacking in flavor... I should have ordered coffee instead... The house itself is new and clean, with a barrier-free restroom, making it suitable for wheelchair users. The service from the staff was average. On the day we visited, it was fully booked for reservations only. Also, since dinner hours are irregular, it's best to make a reservation for both lunch and dinner. With its outstanding location overlooking Mount Yotei, it's a great spot for a date.

The atmosphere of the restaurant is calm, and since it is located on top of a hill, you can see Mt. Yotei from the windows. The meal is served slowly as a course menu, with a gentle taste focusing on vegetables. However, the bread was a bit hard, which may divide opinions. You can choose the main dish, and I chose the meat which was quite filling. This space may be appreciated by housewives.

This is my third visit, but it seems like they prioritize the taste of the ingredients. The dressing was too little and didn't bring out the flavor. The soup seemed like it was just grated vegetables, so I couldn't finish it. The pasta also lacked flavor, overall, I wasn't satisfied. The atmosphere and location of the restaurant are great, but it's disappointing.

I visited this restaurant for dinner for the first time. It was a bit difficult to find as it was located in a dark area, but when I saw a warm light in the middle of nowhere, I felt like I entered a cozy world of conversation. The restaurant seemed to be newly built and very beautiful, with spacious tables and not too many seats, so it was nice and relaxing. I went with two other girls and ordered a variety of dishes including appetizers, salad, pasta, fish, and meat. As expected from a restaurant run by farmers, the vegetables were delicious! The name of the restaurant "pomme" means potato, and there were sweet potatoes scattered in the fish and meat dishes. It's a taste you can't find in Tokyo! The pasta was also generous in portion, and we could barely finish it. Everything was delicious. Even though we said we were full, we ended up ordering a chocolate cake for dessert, but it was just the right amount of sweetness and bitterness, which I personally love, so I had no problem finishing it. I was very satisfied. I can't wait to go for lunch next time!
