★3.5【FILE 4096】2023/06/01 (Thursday) 13:28 Visited a bistro that opened two weeks ago on May 16, 2023, on the first and second floors of a building just behind National Route 1 in Higashi-Ueno. There are two other branches in the chain: Rudeek, which opened in December 2016, and Cafe Brasserie Rudeek, which opened in May 2023. The interior has a calming atmosphere with a base of dark brown and light gray. On the first floor, there are 5 seats at the counter, and on the second floor, there are 4 tables with 2 seats each on the left and 6 tables with 2 seats each on the right, totaling 25 seats. When I visited, about 80% of the seats were occupied, but they gradually emptied out. The customer base is 80% male and 20% female. The service is provided by one attentive male staff member and assisted by one female staff member. The menu includes ◆ Lunch: Provençal-style chicken (¥1000 tax included), roast pork with pork loin (¥1000 tax included), duck steak haché (hamburger) (¥1200 tax included), ground meat French red wine curry (limited to 10 servings) (¥800 tax included) ◆ Sides: Assorted appetizers (¥500 tax included), lemon marinated small shrimp and okra (¥500 tax included), Fabrington with caramel ice cream (¥500 tax included), Rudeek pudding (¥300 tax included), coffee (¥300 tax included), tea (¥300 tax included), soft drinks (¥300 tax included). Lunch comes with unlimited refills of soup and salad. You can choose between bouillon rice or focaccia as a side, and rice portions are free. I ordered the roast pork with pork loin (¥1000). The meal includes salad, soup, roast pork with pork loin, and focaccia. The food was served in about 23 minutes, with the order placed at 13:32 and the salad arriving at 13:34 (4 minutes later), followed by the soup at 13:51 (23 minutes later). The salad is served buffet-style with unlimited refills and mainly consists of leafy greens. The soup is also buffet-style with unlimited refills and contains carrots and radishes as ingredients, with a good flavor. However, by 1:30 PM, there was only a small amount of soup left at the bottom of the pot, so arriving a little earlier would be better. The main dish is roast pork with pork loin, served on a white plate with green beans and carrots on the side, along with thinly sliced roast pork and crispy focaccia. The roast pork with pork loin is cooked at a low temperature, making it tender and flavorful, with a delightful crispy edge. The focaccia, which is slightly burnt, also has a delicious flavor. The restaurant has a calm atmosphere with a color scheme of dark brown and light gray. The attentive and dedicated service provided by the male staff member left a lasting impression. Credit card payment is accepted. The roast pork with pork loin (¥1000) comes with a salad bar, soup bar, main dish, and focaccia. It's a delightful meal with tender and flavorful roast pork that's been cooked at a low temperature.
