I made a reservation with my friends and had a course meal. The amuse-bouche was a jelly with caviar, quite flavorful. The carpaccio was refreshing with cucumber sauce. The pasta had sweet shrimp toppings with shrimp-flavored sauce. The sea bass was wrapped in crispy skin with cream sauce, a gentle flavor. Asparagus sauce and roast beef. The meat was tender and delicious. The bread was like a sweet brioche. The olive oil did not go well with it. For dessert, you can choose from classic pudding, Mont Blanc, or matcha tiramisu. In addition, there was a melon and chocolate dessert. I did not drink alcohol, but my friends' cocktails all looked cute. It was unfortunate that the staff didn't notice things like additional drink orders or the lack of knife and fork when eating meat.

I heard that shaved ice was being served from 14:00, so I went there. I arrived at 14:00 and the counter seats were already full. We each ordered one type of shaved ice, and they all looked and tasted great. And all of this for only 1000 yen, it's a steal.

This is a review of the breakfast at THE LIVELY KITCHEN FUKUOKA HAKATA, where I stayed. Breakfast is served at the 80-seat all-day dining restaurant on the first floor of the hotel. The breakfast here features the popular Korean dessert "Croffle" as the main dish, along with 3 side dishes and a drink buffet. You can choose from 4 types of Croffle. The restaurant operates as HE LIVELY KITCHEN for lunch and dinner as well. I chose the "Mentaiko cream sauce and Hakata Mentaiko" Croffle. I started with the salad and yogurt side dishes before enjoying the main Croffle. It was a stylish breakfast in a stylish all-day dining restaurant. The taste was decent, neither good nor bad. I enjoyed it. Thank you for the meal. Eatery: 3.15 Google: 4.5 (186 reviews)

The library kitchen is a popular Italian restaurant in a modern concept hotel in Fukuoka, Chuo area. I visited for a lunch course which offers good value for money. Despite not having a reservation, I was seated promptly in the almost full 80-seat restaurant, indicating its popularity. The lunch menu consists of 3 course options starting from 1500 yen. On weekends, there is an option to add 100 yen for the Fukuko course starting at 2500 yen including a first course, appetizer, main course, pasta, dessert, and a choice of drink. The first course was a cold corn soup with fritters made with sweet Gold Rush corn and served freshly fried. The appetizer was sazae and shiso genovese with avocado and lime foam, accompanied by warm focaccia and olive oil. The main course I chose was tuna cheek cutlet with refreshing plum and tomato sauce, served with mashed potatoes. The pasta was endive and pancetta peperoncino, slightly on the salty side. For dessert, I chose the mont blanc which was delicious and satisfying. Overall, I enjoyed a fulfilling meal under 3000 yen with a good atmosphere, value for money, and impressive popularity.

Located inside the lively Fukuoka Hakata Hotel, the first thing you see when you enter is the cafe & bar, with the restaurant to the left. This time, I went to the cafe & bar. The interior of the cafe & bar is luxurious and flashy, with chandeliers and impressive lighting. You can enjoy drinks and sweets here from 2 pm onwards. - Sakura Cloud Mousse Cake (900 yen): A dessert that looks like a cloud, with meringue cookies, sponge cake, sakura mousse, and plenty of whipped cream on top. The meringue is crispy, the mousse and cream are smooth and delicious. The sakura mousse inside the white cream is sweet and sour, making you feel like spring is here. - Oreo Latte (800 yen): Espresso extracted from a professional coffee machine topped with whipped cream and Oreos. Although it looks voluminous, half of the cup is filled with ice, so it's not too heavy. It has a balance of coffee bitterness, sweetness from Oreos and chocolate sauce, making it a great choice for chocolate lovers. The restaurant seems to be popular and crowded. The atmosphere is excellent, and there is a coworking space on the second floor, making it a versatile place for various occasions!

All the lighting, furniture, and everything else in the stylish space were used for a banquet, so we had a course meal. Each dish was not only beautiful in appearance but also delicious in taste! The meat and crab onigiri were particularly amazing. The service was also exceptional, with a level of attentiveness that made me think, "This is top-notch."

I felt that this restaurant is a place where both young people and adults can enjoy delicious food without feeling out of place, somewhere between casual and upscale. It was my first time, so I ordered the most popular course to play it safe. The appetizers that came out were so stylish and delicious that I honestly felt bewildered (sweat). And knowing that there were still more dishes to come got me excited. The fish and meat were rare and fatty, making the alcohol go down smoothly. The pasta and soup in between were gentle in portion and flavor. The desserts also appeared in two separate dishes and were very satisfying. The cost performance...! ♡ At first, I felt that the threshold was high, but the atmosphere and welcoming service in the restaurant made me feel comfortable even on my first visit (grateful).

I used this restaurant twice. You can make reservations online, the atmosphere is nice, and it's cost-effective, so I recommend it. Everything that came out was delicious. The seats are stylish, perfect for a girls' night out. I will definitely use it again. The sweets in the photo are for three people.

(2023.01.03) During the New Year's holiday season, many shops are closed for the first three days. Last year, I struggled to find a place for lunch because I underestimated the situation and didn't plan ahead. So this year, I made sure to confirm the opening hours and make reservations in advance. Today, I visited "The Lively Fukuoka Hakata," a hotel near Nakasu Kawabata Station. As I passed through the hotel's entrance, I was greeted by a lobby bar with a high ceiling, and further inside was the restaurant "THE LIVELY KITCHEN" that I was aiming for. Both places had a sophisticated and elegant design, setting them apart from traditional hotel restaurants, which got me excited. I was guided to a table in the center of the 80-seat dining area, which had a large table about 2,500mm square with a stylish display of flowers under a glass panel. The lunch menu offered three courses - "Man," "World," and "Fortune," allowing me to choose a main dish and pasta in the "Fortune" course. First, I was served an amuse-bouche of "Churros with Chrysanthemum," where chrysanthemum stems were fried in a stick-like shape and served with prosciutto to wrap around. Next was "Scallop Tartare with Turnip Potage Soup," featuring the sweetness of turnip that intensifies in the cold weather, complemented by the rare scallop on top. For the main course, there were three options - "Grilled Mackerel with Sake Lees Cheese Sauce," "Grilled Pork Shoulder and Apple," and "US Prime Beef Tagliata." I chose the "Grilled Pork Shoulder and Apple," which had a delightful balance of grilled apple's sweetness and the saltiness of the seasoned pork loin, along with a crispy outer layer and a moist interior. The accompanying sour cream added a nice touch. For pasta, I chose the "Rigatoni with Beef Bolognese," which had a strong tomato sauce flavor but satisfying al dente rigatoni texture. For dessert, I opted for the "Purple Sweet Potato Mont Blanc," which was the staff's top recommendation. Served in a wine glass-shaped dish with crushed biscuits at the bottom, the vanilla ice cream topped with finely squeezed purple sweet potato cream melted in the mouth, accompanied by a crunchy biscuit texture and sweet potato chips. It was a satisfying and delightful treat.

I used the birthday course with all-you-can-drink for lunch. The portion size was just right and perfect for a girls' gathering. The atmosphere was nice, so I recommend using it for special occasions. Also, the lunch time was relatively long, so it was easy to use.

Today was a girls' lunch. You can choose your main dish, pasta, and dessert, all at a great cost-performance ratio. We were able to relax and chat, and all the dishes were delicious. The drink menu is also extensive and changes monthly, so I want to go back again.

This is my first visit to 'THE LIVELY Fukuoka Hakata'. I used their morning service which costs 1320 yen for a Korean cafe x hotel breakfast. I chose the Croffle with potato salad and warm egg Benedict style. There were 4 types of Croffle to choose from. The meal also came with 3 types of appetizers and a drink buffet. The appetizers were cereal, conchiglie macaroni salad, salad & pineapple. The Croffle was crispy and filling with ingredients like warm egg, bacon, and spinach. It was cute and nice. There were also sweet Croffles available. The drinks included pink grapefruit, orange, and apple juice, all 100%. There was also coffee and tea available. Everything was delicious so I enjoyed drinking them. The chairs were comfortable, the lighting was nice, and the hotel had a stylish and glamorous atmosphere. I would like to try their lunch menu next time.

I used it for the first time! First of all, it was great that there were courses that could be reserved online on the same day ✨ Sometimes, there are cases where I wanted to go but I couldn't make a reservation by the day before, or it was too late, or I had to call and it was a hassle... There was no such thing, and it was easy to make a reservation! Next, the important thing is the food. Despite the reasonable price of 3,500 yen, it came with a proper dessert and was cost-effective. And the taste was delicious too!! I was happy to be able to choose from 4 types of desserts ✨ I thought it was a mini Mont Blanc, but it came out in a normal size and I was super excited. After all, there is always room for dessert. My family came by car, and I couldn't add a drink all-you-can-drink for one person, so I ordered drinks separately. It was an additional 1,500 yen for all-you-can-drink (soft drinks were 600 yen). The atmosphere inside the restaurant is also nice. There is music playing at a moderate volume, and the tables are spaced apart enough from other customers, so you can relax without feeling awkward. The staff also provided polite service (^^) I deducted 0.5 because the drink menu was dirty, so I deducted that amount. It seems that the course contents change according to the season, so I would like to come in autumn or winter next time. Thank you for the meal.

The salad was mediocre, but the cold capellini had good flavor, although the pasta was slightly undercooked. It was nice that you could upgrade to dessert for an additional 300 yen. However, it was disappointing that there were no herbal teas available for customers who cannot have caffeine.

It's been a long time since I last went to Nakasu area. They have couple seats and large tables for big groups, so they can accommodate various situations. When we asked for a celebration, we were surprised by the luxurious dessert that came out! We were very satisfied. The food was also delicious and reasonably priced, so we were very happy!

Located in Nakasu, "THE LIVELY KITCHEN" is a hotel just a 1-minute walk from Nakasu Kawabata Station that opened two years ago. For breakfast, you can choose between Japanese and Western options. Both come with 6 side dishes and all-you-can-drink beverages. The Japanese option includes cherry shrimp and whitebait rice tea, while the Western option includes crispy croissants and soup. The spacious and stylish atmosphere makes it a great place to enjoy your morning. Whether for lunch, dinner, or drinks at the bar, this place seems versatile. Price is 1,800 yen per person for either Japanese or Western breakfast. - Name: THE LIVELY KITCHEN - Hours: 7:00-10:30, 11:30-16:00, 17:00-22:00 - Phone: 092-262-2009 - Closed: Irregular - Private rooms: None - Location: 5-2-18 Nakasu, Hakata-ku, Fukuoka City, THE LIVELY FUKUOKA 1F

I went to Hotel the lively in Nakasu Kawabata, known for its stylish and Instagrammable atmosphere, for dinner. The dinner course (¥3,500) included: - Salmon and cheese tart - Pike conger escabeche - Squid and sun-dried tomato black pasta - Mackerel with herb breadcrumbs - Original focaccia with shiso-scented extra virgin olive oil - Prime beef tagliata with chestnut cream sauce - Choice of dessert: Basque-style cheesecake (choose from 4 flavors) for an additional ¥1,500, you can enjoy all-you-can-drink (for those ordering the course). For this price, being able to enjoy both fish and meat, it offers great value for money. It was really delicious! I will definitely come back!

I was able to choose a Japanese breakfast, but I opted for a croissant breakfast to match the atmosphere. The 6 side dishes were common with Japanese cuisine. The fig butter had a subtle sweetness and was delicious, but I wished there was a simple bread option as well. The drinks were free to choose from a variety of options.

I found this place by chance and decided to try it because it looked nice. Most people seemed to have reservations, as the spacious restaurant was almost full except for the counter seats in the center. The atmosphere was stylish and they had implemented measures for infection prevention, such as partition boards. They offer three types of lunch sets, and I chose the most affordable one, the Pasta Lunch (1300 yen, credit card accepted). The meal included a salad with French-style dressing, which was fresh and tasty but I wished there was a bit more dressing. The homemade focaccia with shiso olive oil was delicious. For the pasta, I chose the Spicy Octopus Puttanesca. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful, although the octopus was a bit tough so I left it uneaten. The meal ended with dessert and ice coffee. The atmosphere and the food were both stylish, making it a good choice for gatherings among women.

This time, I visited THE LIVELY KITCHEN located at 5-2-18 Nakasu, Hakata-ku, Fukuoka City. I went there for lunch. It's a very stylish Italian restaurant with high design quality. I had been checking it out before and since they offer lunch, I decided to visit. I didn't make a reservation, just walked in. The restaurant was almost full, so I had to wait for a bit. While waiting, I could see the stylish interior of the restaurant, which was nice. I was seated in less than 10 minutes. They had 3 lunch menu options: ☆Pasta Lunch for 1300 yen, ☆LIVELY Lunch for 1800 yen, and ☆SPECIAL Lunch for 2300 yen. I chose the ☆LIVELY Lunch for 1800 yen. The meal included: ・AMUSE - Bite-sized sushi with black beef and conger eel. ・APPETIZER - Combination of green vegetables, bratini cheese, and prosciutto. ・MAIN - I chose the sautéed rockfish with turnip soup sauce. ・BREAD - Focaccia bread with rosemary aroma. ・DESSERT - I chose the homemade pudding. ・SET DRINK - Coffee/tea. The service was good and the food was delicious. Thank you for the meal.
