I heard that this Italian restaurant offers delicious wine at a reasonable price, so I decided to visit. I was very satisfied because they offer glass wine for 500, and the food served goes well with the wine. Especially the baked paté can and cream croquette were exquisite! Thank you for the delicious meal!

I used it for a quick solo lunch. When you choose a main dish, it comes with a salad buffet and a drink bar, which I didn't know, so I felt like I got a good deal. The salad had plenty of sunny lettuce, which was nice. The bisque was average, and the croquette was a bit creamy. It wasn't bad, but I felt that 2,000 yen was expensive. The most disappointing part was the dessert-like bread in the buffet. It was a layered pastry with orange-flavored pound cake inside (the one in the photo), but the pastry was so hard that it couldn't be chewed. It was the first time I encountered bread that couldn't be chewed. If this had been delicious, I think I would have felt somewhat satisfied, but unfortunately, it was disappointing.

Kodama Co., Ltd., a comprehensive food manufacturer specializing in charcuterie, operates a restaurant called "Bar Marche Kodama." They have multiple locations in Tokyo, and I visited the Ebisu branch on this day. The lunch hours are from 10:00 to 17:00, which is very convenient, and they offer an amazing plan that includes all-you-can-eat salad, appetizers, and prosciutto. The restaurant is located in the Atre building directly connected to Ebisu Station, making it easily accessible. Next to it is the famous sandwich shop "Le Grenier à Pain." The buffet offers a variety of fresh salads, coleslaw, bean and watercress salad, prosciutto, sausages, and even bulgogi. Although the selection is not extensive, considering the price, there is nothing to complain about. I visited early and was able to sit at the counter by the window. The view is nice, and you can leisurely watch the taxis circling in the rotary. The lunch set includes the buffet and the choice of a main dish from over a dozen options. Prices range from 1,400 yen to 4,000 yen, and I ordered the 2,000 yen "Lobster Croquette and Bisque." The bisque was delicious, rich in shellfish umami with a creamy taste. It tastes as good as what you would get at a French restaurant with a customer spending of 50,000 yen. The croquette is filled with chunks of lobster meat, and the creamy part has a rich flavor with lobster miso blended in. Eating plenty of vegetables, charcuterie, and lobster for 2,000 yen is a great deal. The buffet also includes bread and desserts, and if you choose pasta as the main dish, it only costs 1,500 yen. This is a fantastic deal. They also offer a "4,000 yen course with all-you-can-eat prosciutto and drinks." Next to the restaurant is a sake bar called "Kimijimaya," and across the street is "Le Bar à Vin 52," a wine bar affiliated with Seijo Ishii. It might be a low-key place for drinks. With its convenient location and great value, I think this is the best lunch option in the Ebisu area. Why not have a drinking party at Atre next time?

I used to have lunch here once, and at that time it was a plate with charcuterie, leafy greens, and bread. The liver pate was delicious, but overall it didn't really impress me, so I hadn't been back since. However, I was surprised to find out that they had changed to a buffet style for their meals. When did this happen? Fairly recently, right? So, I decided to revisit. The lunch hours are mentioned on the company's official website until 5 pm, but now with the buffet format, it seems to be until 3 pm with the last order at 3:30 pm. Just a heads up. When I arrived at almost 1 pm, the place was packed with mostly women, actually, all customers except me were women. Be prepared for mostly female customers, except for couples. The change in concept was definitely a good decision as there was a lot of energy with customers coming in one after another. I ordered the lobster bisque and croquettes. The buffet had leaf lettuce, pickled cabbage, sausages, potato salad, a few fried items, and even prosciutto. There were also desserts, drinks, and bread. I felt like there was a lack of vegetables, maybe some coleslaw would have been nice. But I was surprised to see sfogliatella. It was my first time seeing it at a buffet. I had a variety of items from the buffet until my plate arrived. There was dressing next to the lettuce, but with prosciutto available, I rolled it up with the leafy greens and enjoyed it. The sausages were delicious, as expected, and the potato salad had plenty of ingredients which was nice. However, after trying everything, I felt that everything was quite salty. Each dish seemed more like a wine accompaniment than a lunch dish, which is expected from a charcuterie specialist. For someone like me, who is mostly in the coffin, if you have lunch here, you might want to consider the salt content for your other meals of the day. When my plate arrived, the bisque was a must-try for sure. It had a great flavor for those who like it. The consistency was thicker than minestrone but not as thick as a potage, and it had plenty of ingredients. The croquettes, although small in size, had a great texture and were satisfying. However, I later found out that you could choose just the lobster bisque for a cheaper price. This is just my personal opinion, but lobsters are basically crayfish, so the meat is too protein-heavy. In terms of flavor, I actually think that prawns are much tastier. I'll go with that next time. By the way, the menu is written in French for the bisque only, and in English for the bisque and croquette set. I wonder if there's a profound reason for this...

Located on the 4th floor of Atre Nishikan, ^_^ I often visit the Meguro branch, but this was my first time at the Ebisu branch! I was able to get in without a reservation on a weekday evening ^_^ On this day, I had the Caesar salad (M) for 900 yen, roast beef bowl for 1500 yen, bolognese for 1500 yen, and prosciutto with karasumi for 1500 yen. Everything I ate was delicious♪ Especially the prosciutto was so tasty that I could have eaten more. For drinks, I had beer and a bottle of wine! The bottle of wine was surprisingly cheap and the taste was not bad at all. I think it's a great value for the price. The food menu is more extensive and delicious compared to the Meguro branch, so I will definitely visit again ^_^

-Lunch- Charcuterie plate *Salad buffet, soft drink, bread, dessert all you can eat. 1,400 yen A late lunch in Ebisu on a holiday. Before getting on the train, I just wanted to quickly and easily have a meal and make sure to get some vegetables. Also, I wanted to have a coffee after eating. All these needs are met for 1,400 yen. With the 1,400 yen plan, you can also choose the Lobster Bisque. If you're not in the mood for meat, that's also an option. The salad buffet includes prosciutto, so choosing the Lobster Bisque might have been a good balance. The pickles here are amazing, so having pickles at the salad buffet would have been even better.

I passed by in the morning and the mountain of bread caught my eye! I've been curious about the shop too, but I haven't had a chance to eat there yet. They have a set of 11 different breads for 590 yen, which is a great deal! I made a sandwich with the first one and it was like a sprouted grain or whole wheat bread. It was delicious! I used to buy whole wheat bread from Seijo Ishii, but this one is definitely better in terms of cost performance, so I'll be buying from here from now on! Thank you for the meal!

I visited this cafe located in Atre in Ebisu for a lunch date with a friend. The cafe offers a variety of delicious dishes, especially the ham dishes looked tempting. Since I was saving my appetite for dinner, I only had an iced tea. It would be nice to come here in the evening and enjoy a cup of tea while looking out at the view.

The restaurant on the 4th floor of Atre Nishikan has a big entrance with a deli counter, which made me realize later that there is a restaurant inside. The lighting is a bit dim, but the atmosphere is casual. We sat at the counter seats facing a large window, with a view of the Ebisu station rotary. The menu had mostly text with few photos, so it was hard to decide. We ordered the California salad, expecting avocado and lettuce, but it came with lots of tomatoes. The roast beef bowl arrived as expected, and it was delicious. The dessert was average, and the iced cafe au lait was served in a Mason jar, which was nostalgic. The restaurant is welcoming for solo diners, and if you have a Yomiuri Culture membership card, you can get a 10% discount. Lucky me!

After-dinner cafe visit. It was an hour before closing, so there weren't many people. It was nice to have a space where we could relax and chat while looking at the night view from the window. The seating wasn't too cramped, probably because it wasn't full. The float made me smile no matter what. Eating the sinking jelly together was delightful with its bitterness and sweetness.

The interior of the shop is not very spacious, but it is quite a cozy space. It's nice to be able to leisurely gaze outside from the counter seats. I stopped by on a whim and felt like trying a variety of dishes, so I ordered the meat plate. The staff were very friendly and everything was delicious... Next time, I'd like to visit when I can have some drinks!

In April, I had been working overtime continuously and couldn't find time to go out for a relaxing drink. However, there was a day when I could leave work a little early, and I really wanted to have a glass of wine, even if it was just for a short time. So, I made a quick stop at Kodama located on the 4th floor of Atre Nishikan in Ebisu. There is a restaurant from Seijo Ishii on the same floor, offering better wine and dishes, but it was fully booked. Luckily, Kodama had some available seats. The restaurant has a row of single counters by the window facing outside, providing a soothing view. The food and wine at Kodama are decent, nothing exceptional, but it's a great place to unwind alone. I ordered a draft beer, carrot salad, white liver terrine, hot beef lasagna, and white wine. The carrot salad had a nice texture with a hint of sweetness from raisins. The white liver terrine was flavorful with a good balance of meat and liver. The hot beef lasagna was more like a gratin, but the creamy white sauce was delicious. Overall, it was a relaxing break from my busy days, and despite the average food and wine, I will surely visit again. It's a good place to unwind.

There is a meat shop inside Atre. You always have high expectations for the hamburgers at a meat shop, right? The drinks and salad were in buffet style. The hamburger was quite small. The size is understandable though. There was a small portion of rice on the left side. Do we really need this? The hamburger had a meaty taste as expected from a meat shop, but the sauce seemed to be masking the goodness of the meat. I don't remember if there was a buffet before. The buffet felt like a cost-cutting measure.

I had a red cabbage marinated pate salad lunch that contains boron, which helps in estrogen secretion. The pate with pork and chicken liver is also rich in iron, making it good for women's bodies. I was able to get a table without waiting on a weekend as a solo diner without a reservation. If you don't have any afternoon plans, you can enjoy wine or sparkling wine for only 350 yen with your lunch drink!

I found out that you shouldn't eat hamburgers at a prosciutto shop. The salad in the lunch set is nothing special, and the hamburger is also not that great, with the meat, bread, and other ingredients all feeling separate and not tasty. It's more like fast food quality.

Visited for lunch on a holiday afternoon. Ordered the Angus beef demiglace burger for lunch. The burger was average, but the onion soup side dish was incredibly delicious (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)♡ The onion gratin soup lunch set was the best choice! Conveniently located near the station and inside Atre, it's an easy-to-use restaurant.

At a meat shop in Atre Ebisu. I was aiming for a hamburger but it was sold out, so I ordered a unique hamburger where the hamburger patty is replaced with steak. As expected from a meat shop, the meat was delicious. The buns were just normal soft bread, which didn't quite match with the strong flavor of the meat, but anyway the meat was delicious. Since it's a meat shop, the meat in any menu is always delicious.

The deli section was more eye-catching than the restaurant, but surprisingly, you can have a reasonably priced lunch here. I recommend it for when you want a light lunch like pasta, salad, soup, or sandwiches. What I had that day (including tax): Roast beef and fresh tomato salad for 1,050 yen with bread and soup. It was the daily recommendation, so I chose it without hesitation. It was a luxurious salad with plenty of roast beef baked in-house and colorful vegetables, which was both visually appealing and delicious. The soup was a rich onion soup, which was also tasty. If you only look at the deli section, you wouldn't expect to have such a reasonably priced lunch here. I think it's a convenient restaurant to visit.

It's not on the lunch menu, but having a charcuterie platter with a glass of wine is a good choice. The sparkling wine for 350 yen is a good deal for lunch. The hamburger is disappointing because the buns are not toasted. It's not bad, more like a hamburger steak sandwich, but it's different from what you'd expect from a specialty burger shop. The steak burger is terrible. It looks nothing like the photo. It only has four thin slices of meat.

At Atre Nishikan on the 4th floor right by Ebisu Station, they have a lunchtime menu from 10:00 in the morning until 5:00 in the afternoon. It's a light lunch menu with items like salad, hamburgers, pasta, and sandwiches ranging from 1000 yen to 1400 yen. The salads include Kodama's products such as prosciutto and various types of ham. One thing worth mentioning is that you can order a salad lunch and enjoy alcohol like beer, wine for only 350 yen, the same price as soft drinks. We shared the Meat Shop Salad for 1000 yen and the Roast Beef and Fresh Tomato Salad for 1050 yen while having beer, white wine, etc., and finished with an Iced Cafe au Lait for 350 yen. The counter seats by the window have a great view of the square in front of Ebisu Station, making it a bright (depending on the time, very sunny) restaurant with a store selling processed meat products that you can purchase. Overall, it's a very convenient restaurant/cafe with a nice atmosphere.
