On September 17, 2023 (Sunday) at 13:06 (from the receipt), after seeing the "Hakozaki Shrine Hosoekai Festival" (see photo), I reserved a seat at this restaurant and ordered a pre-paid Veggie Burger Plate for 1683 yen, which came with a burger and fried egg. The vegetable arrangement on the plate seemed a bit off, maybe it's about balance. The soup of the day was Carrot Soup. I also had the Omu Rice Plate for 1353 yen, which had a rich sauce but had a strange solid tail-like lump. Both dishes came with a drink.

This is a café located in Tenjin Underground Street. I visited on a Sunday afternoon and it was quite crowded, but we were able to find seats. By the time we left, it was a bit less crowded. It seems like a good place to do some work or kill time. I ordered the omurice plate because I was a little hungry. It cost around 1400 yen for the omurice and a drink, which I thought was a bit expensive. The omurice was tasty, but it had a familiar taste that I've had at home, so I felt like it wasn't quite worth the price. Overall, it's a bit pricey, so next time I think I'll just order a deli item or a drink! The location is good, and I understand the prices, but I want to try the deli next time!

Morning. This time, I'm confirming the presence of alcohol. Officially it's "APETITO CAFE," so in English it means "appetite." In French it would be "bon appétit," like saying "enjoy your meal." Lust is for sexual desire, and unfortunately, the desire for sleep is not as exciting. It seems like breakfast after a night of fun. If you're young, maybe that's the case. It's like a Dragon Quest reference. By the way, Rust Hurricane is not about sexual desire, it's about rust. I don't really get it. It turns out it's part of the same group as Royal Host. It may seem a bit pricey, but maybe it's not. They have Heineken beer there. The label boldly says "Heineken" in katakana. It's unlikely to be fake, but that would be interesting. I wanted to eat some fried eggs. It reminds me of the eyeball fried egg joke from the eye doctor. It's like a manga, with beautifully cooked fried eggs, my friend says. It must be difficult to cook a large amount of eggs without burning them, right? It's all about skill and equipment. Unrelated, but I just have to say it. I hate it when the yolk breaks and dirties the plate or knife! I would never dip the toast in the yolk or put it on top of the toast. It's like something from Laputa. I eat the white part of the egg by itself, and the yolk whole in one bite. If the yolk breaks, I get upset. If it goes well, I'm in a good mood. I let myself enjoy the cheap thrill until one of those outcomes. It's like a game of who will stab or be stabbed. You shouldn't play with your food, but in a way, I'm enjoying the meal. If the yolk breaks, I wipe it with the toast and eat it. It feels like a punishment game. Also, I didn't order the minestrone and salad, my friend did, so I don't know what they were like. They seemed normal. Yes, I only ordered one thing. My friend only had beer. The restaurant might not be too pleased with that, I suppose. It's not an excuse, but... Isn't it better than leaving the seat empty? Having both of these in the morning is either too much or not enough. It will end up with me having to eat two pieces of toast. Please spare me.

In Fukuoka's Tenjin underground shopping area, I stopped by because I was a little hungry. I chose the pancake set for 748 yen with a hot tea as my drink. It was a little after 4 pm on a weekday, and there were housewives chatting and customers reading books, creating a relaxed atmosphere. I received my tea as soon as I made my purchase and sat at a table. After about 10 minutes, my number was called and I received my pancakes. They were fluffy and delicious with plenty of syrup on top.

I arrived at Tenjin early in the morning, so I decided to have breakfast here after a long time. I was craving something sweet, so I ordered the Pancake Plate set (1023 yen) with an iced coffee. I received a receipt with my order number and waited at my seat. I had a seat near the counter, where I could see the pancakes and eggs being cooked, which was quite entertaining. When my number was called, I picked up my order (previously they used to bring it to the table). The Pancake Plate came with two pancakes, a salad, sunny-side-up egg, and bacon. I ate one pancake with syrup as dessert. Although they no longer sell bread like before, the quality remains consistent, and it always feels comforting. Next time, I might try the Omelette Plate. I will definitely visit again. Thank you for the meal!

I wanted to drink soup with my morning panini set, but I couldn't have lunch later, so I opted for something lighter. The ham in the panini tasted too porky, and the soup was maybe pumpkin? It wasn't great. I probably won't come back. I did finish it all though. Thank you for the meal.

Located in the Tenjin underground shopping street, this restaurant opens at 7:30 in the morning, making it convenient for those heading to work. Their morning menu is available until 11 am, so it's great for a late breakfast or morning activities. With counter and table seating available, there are plenty of seats. Being in the underground shopping street allows subway users to visit without getting wet, which is very convenient. In addition to breakfast, they also serve lunch and dinner, making it a versatile option for shopping breaks in Tenjin. The restaurant caters to a wide range of age groups, including elderly customers, and is suitable for both friends and solo diners. I ordered the pancake plate for 1,023 yen, which came with two flat pancakes that were similar to hotcakes. The butter on top had an ice cream-like consistency, which was a nice touch. Maple syrup was served on the side, which was appreciated. The salad portion was generous, with a side of deli salad, sunny-side-up egg, and bacon. A drink was also included, and I chose hot coffee. The coffee tasted average, similar to the kind you would get from a convenience store.

After drinking, I stopped by the Tenjin underground shopping area. I saw the word "cafe" and decided to try it out. It was a cafe I had never heard of before, but the coffee I bought was delicious and affordable, priced in the 300 yen range. It's a nice place to take a break in the northern Tenjin area.

A Royal cafe located in Tenjin Underground Street. The location is convenient, so I use it more than I review. (^◇^;) The "Omelette" I had last time was delicious, so I came to have it again. ^^ Order and payment are done at the entrance, and when your number is called, you go to pick up your order. The Omelette Plate comes with a drink (1,078 yen including tax, card payment accepted). You receive your drink at the time of payment, and it takes about 7-8 minutes for the food to be served. The Omelette Plate includes omelette, salad, two slices of focaccia, walnut carrot rapé, bacon, and more. It looks delicious, but it's quite a generous portion. (^_^;) The omelette has cheese inside and a creamy texture, very tasty. It comes with ketchup, but I prefer it without. ♪ The carrot soup has a gentle flavor. The seasoning of the walnut carrot rapé is also good. I chose the "Tropical Tea" for my drink, but it was a bit weak. Maybe the coffee here is better. This omelette is really delicious, I will definitely come back for it. ♪

I visited for the first time since the renewal opening! They have very stylish plate lunches, and although the prices are a bit high, I was drawn to the colorful and well-balanced presentation so I decided to order one. With the "My Plate" option, you can choose 2 or 3 types of deli items. Since there were so many stylish deli options, I couldn't decide, so I went with the 3-deli plate. It comes with soup and a drink. There are 2 warm deli options and 4 cold deli options, and this time I chose strawberry and tofu salad with basil sauce, chicken coriander flavor, and lasagna with vegetables and tomato sauce. The strawberry salad was surprisingly good with the Genovese sauce and strawberries matching well, and the tofu was cooked to have a chicken-like texture, giving it a vegan feel. The lasagna had a strong tomato flavor and was very filling. The leaf salad had a simple dressing mainly made of olive oil, which was a good accompaniment to the other deli items. The chicken was a bit dry, but as someone who likes chicken breast, I really enjoyed it. The carrot soup had a touch of cumin, making it stylishly delicious. You can get plenty of vegetables, soup, and a drink, making it a great option for a leisurely and tasty lunch for one person. Highly recommended!

It's been a while since I visited Appetito Cafe, but they have recently renovated and stopped selling bread, so I don't come as often as before, haha. However, I really love their sandwiches with lots of fillings, so today I got takeout! I ordered the Beef Pastrami Sandwich (756 yen) and they make it after you order, so I got a number tag and waited inside the store. It took about 10 minutes before they called my number. The sandwich was made with toasted bread, so it was nice and warm. It's so delicious when it's freshly made, so if you have time, I recommend eating in! When I got home and opened it, I saw that it was filled with plenty of vegetables and pastrami. It might be enough to fill up a woman's stomach with just one sandwich. The presentation was also beautiful. They have changed their lunch menu after the renovation, and all the items seem like something women would enjoy. I'll visit again next time and have a leisurely meal inside. Thank you for the meal!

Royal Cafe Restaurant, which operates Royal Host and other restaurants in Tenjin Underground Street. I have used their services several times before, but this was my first visit since the renovation. The seating arrangement remains the same as before, but the menu has changed. Since I was busy and couldn't have lunch, I decided to have breakfast here. Menu: It seems that they have added more menus where you can choose side dishes. Omelette Plate with Drink (1,023 yen including tax, credit cards accepted): Previously, the staff used to bring the dishes to your table when they were ready, but now they call out a number and you have to pick up your order at the counter. - The omelette is cheesy and deliciously gooey. I personally prefer it without ketchup. It was really tasty. - The bacon was crispy, just the way I like it. - They specialize in side dishes, and the carrot rapé was delicious with soybeans and shredded chicken mixed in. - The potage soup was average. - The focaccia bread is served warm. - The coffee was light and just right for the morning, and it seemed tastier than before. Although I initially thought the breakfast was a bit pricey, after trying it, I found the price to be justified. The omelette was delicious and the portion size was generous. I will have to revisit for this omelette.

I originally planned to go to a restaurant in Shintencho, but surprisingly all of them were full. I gave up and went to Parco, where every restaurant had long lines. I gave up again and ended up at "Appetito Cafe" in the Royal Building. I knew they had renovated in the summer, and it seemed like the prices had also been renovated, with everything priced at over 1,000 yen. It may have been a price increase starting in the fall. The place seemed even fancier now. Since I was already there, I decided to order the "Cosmo Doria" for 1,100 yen (excluding tax), and my wife ordered the "Panini Plate" for 1,000 yen (excluding tax). The Panini Plate came with a salad and soup, which looked nice, but the Doria was just the dish alone. Both came with a drink, but the price for just the Doria seemed a bit disappointing in terms of cost performance. However, the Doria did have chestnuts in it, perhaps to represent the seasonal flavor. Despite the high prices, the restaurant was quite crowded, showing that people are willing to spend money on meals even in tough economic times.

I had breakfast at "Appetito Cafe Metro". I ordered the omelette plate with a drink for 1023 yen. The omelette was beautifully cooked with a nice color and shine. It was delicious, with a generous amount of eggs and cheese. The side dishes of carrots, soybeans, and steamed chicken were also tasty. The focaccia bread was a nice touch. The simple plates and cutlery were easy to use and I even thought about getting them for my own home. It's a cozy place for dining alone.

I'm sad that the bread has been replaced with several types of frozen bread. I used to love the cinnamon rolls and banana muffins from Royal, as well as the bread from Continental Royal. I used to enjoy having a piece of bread with a drink for under 500 yen as a snack, and I also often ordered the freshly fried and delicious French fries. It's a shame that it's no longer as convenient for snack time. Now, the main menu consists of a one-plate salad with a choice of deli items, which might be good for those who want to eat a lot of salad. It seems like they simplified the operation by getting rid of pasta and curry. I'm happy that you can now order deli items separately for 300 yen each. The taste of my favorite Paradise Tropical Tea seems a bit different, I wonder if they have renewed it.

It's lunchtime here at Tenjin Ion, stopped by before shopping. Vegetables, focaccia, and half an egg are already on the plate. I chose lasagna and chicken as my three deli items. There weren't as many choices as I expected. Thank you for the meal.

Sweet potato (3 pieces) for 648 yen [Energy: 177kcal Carbohydrates: 25.1g] per piece (57g). Entered the underground shopping area from the door of the Tenjin underground parking lot N3. There is a shop where people are lining up even early in the morning. It seems like a breakfast situation in the Tenjin underground shopping area. Since I have a high chance of getting stomach ache if I have breakfast, I bought the sweet potato and escaped like a rabbit. Normal. Suica can be used.

I went at the end of June. Renovation work will start from July. The atmosphere is already nice as it is. There are many seats. Looking forward to seeing what it will become. Ginger ale 310 → Why is there no "(Black) Iced Tea"! Hot tea is available but no iced tea. Muffin 330 → Moist and fluffy, chocolate and cheese flavors are both delicious. Cranberry Earl Grey 200 → A big hit, triangular scone. I love this! Is Earl Grey popular now? Very welcome. Blueberry bagel 180 → Average, prefer Joanne's for both texture and softness.

After a long time, I went to a cafe for lunch and there were many menu options, but they change daily. I was craving vegetables, so I was torn between the salad lunch and the daily sandwich, but I chose the sandwich (1210 yen). As usual, the drink was a Paradise Tea Royal, which is always a treat at this chain. I received a number tag and waited at my seat. I thought I had avoided the lunch rush, but it was still crowded. It took about 15 minutes. A colorful sandwich arrived. Today's sandwich was Beef Pastrami, with lots of vegetables and a healthy amount. The freshly toasted bread was still warm. The daily soup was corn. The freshly fried potatoes were hot and sprinkled with salt. The presentation was lovely. The sandwich had a variety of vegetables, crunchy and delicious. It's a high female-power healthy lunch, but it also had potatoes and was more filling than expected. A woman would definitely feel satisfied. The salad lunch was a Cobb salad, so I might choose that next time. But the omelette rice also looked delicious. I'll visit again, thank you for the meal!

Royal Holdings operates a variety of restaurants, including Royal Host. One of them is Appetito Cafe Metro, located in the underground shopping area directly connected to Tenjin Station in Fukuoka. I used to visit this cafe to take a break and enjoy a cup of coffee while adjusting my schedule before heading to work in Tenjin when I lived in Yokohama 18 years ago. The dimly lit underground shopping area in Tenjin always helped me relax my mind before starting work early in the morning. However, after moving to Fukuoka, this cafe became irrelevant to me. Last week, I revisited Royal Holdings' restaurants after a long time and enjoyed an apple pie at Royal Garden Cafe Ohori Park. This week, I decided to visit Appetito Cafe Metro for the first time in 18 years after work in Tenjin. It was past 8 pm on a weekday, and I decided to take the apple pie as a takeaway, just like the one I had at Royal Garden Cafe Ohori Park. The price for one piece was 529 yen, making it a nice gift for my family. I also bought Royal's Sweet Potato (1,296 yen for 6 pieces), a traditional dish that has been around for 70 years. The sweet potato used is a high-sugar variety called "Nagashima Kurenai Bijin" from Nagashima Town in Kagoshima. The ingredients such as fresh cream, butter, eggs, sugar, and vanilla are all domestically sourced, without any preservatives or artificial coloring. When I tried the sweet potato cold, I enjoyed its smooth texture and fine particles, along with a hint of crispiness from the skin. It was pleasantly sweet and refreshing. When I warmed it up slightly before eating, the texture became even softer, melting in my mouth effortlessly. It left a lingering sweetness that I savored. It had been over 20 years since I last had this sweet potato. The last time I tried a similar dish was at a famous restaurant in Obihiro called Cranberry (formerly Andersen), followed by purchasing sweet potato at Royal's store at Fukuoka Airport, which led to a somewhat disappointing comparison due to the different styles of the two dishes. This time, I enjoyed Royal's sweet potato in peace, appreciating its delicious taste.
