I stopped by Branch for lunch while visiting Spa Mizuharu in Matsuiyamate. I ordered the roast beef bowl, which was a limited menu item available only at the counter. I chose the healthy mixed grain rice instead of white rice. The onion sauce served on the side was delicious, but I found the rice to be a bit too hard for my liking. The roast beef was large and tasty. It was a bit disappointing to see a sign stating that limited menu items must be paid for in cash due to cost constraints.

In the Matsuiyamate area, where there are few shops open late, this restaurant stands out with its good atmosphere and operating hours until 11 pm. It's great for a hearty meal or as a second stop for the night. The restaurant specializes in paella, and when I ordered the medium size, I was too full to try other dishes, even though there were many I wanted to try. I noticed they also offer a small size, so next time I'll order that and try more dishes. The bagna cauda, lobster pasta, and beef cheek stew were particularly delicious. Of course, the paella was outstanding. I will definitely visit again.

Today, I had lunch here. It is located in a commercial facility undergoing redevelopment, close to Matsuiyamate Station. I was intrigued by the signboard menu featuring "Sirloin Steak" and decided to try it. Surprisingly, this menu seems to be limited to those sitting at the counter. I wonder why? Sitting at the counter allows you to have a clear view of the chef's cooking. During lunchtime, many local ladies visit, indicating its popularity. The lunch is served on a single plate. The sirloin steak was tender, and the garlic sauce was particularly delicious, soaking into the multigrain rice perfectly. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is pleasant, and I have a feeling it will become even more popular in the future. Thank you for the meal!

This time I visited BALGO for lunch. It's a Spanish restaurant with a stylish interior. The meat dishes are light and easy to eat, paired well with the refreshing salad. The sauce is not too heavy, more on the light side, allowing you to enjoy the natural flavors of the ingredients. They also have a wide variety of takeout options that look delicious, so I recommend it to those who are curious about dining in.

Recently, on weekdays, it seems that the Costco traffic has calmed down, so I went to Brunch Matsui Yamate, which opened two years ago! It is a complex facility with many restaurants. It has a stylish, natural, and relaxed atmosphere typical of Matsui Yamate. There are so many interesting restaurants, but this time I visited BALGO for lunch! It is a Spanish restaurant. The interior is also stylish. I sat at the counter and ordered the counter-limited sirloin steak bowl, which was highly recommended in reviews. You can choose between mixed grain rice or white rice, and regular or large size! Here it comes! Looks delicious! It's more like a plate than a bowl! My friend who came with me ordered the mixed grain rice in a large size! It's nice that it's 1000 yen tax-included, not excluding tax! By the way, the sirloin steak plate ordered at the table is 1800 yen! The taste... The meat is light and easy to eat. It goes well with the salad next to it. The sauce is not too thick, rather light, allowing you to enjoy the natural taste of the ingredients. This goes well with the mixed grain rice. The salad dressing is delicious, and it tastes good even when it's on the rice. They also have a wide variety of takeout menus that look delicious, so it's recommended for those who are curious about eating inside the restaurant as well!

I often go to Matsuiyamate, but this was my first time at this restaurant, and I went because of Goto. It's a bit pricey, but the staff are friendly and the quality of the food is high, so I had a good time and was satisfied. They also have darts, which the kids enjoyed.
