We made a reservation and visited at 12:00 on Saturday.
The restaurant opens at 12:00, so we arrived a few minutes early and waited a little while before being seated.
We had seafood paella for lunch set.
The seafood paella had a lot of ingredients and was very delicious.
I recommend it.

We visited on a Friday around 1pm.
I was a little surprised that there were no customers in the restaurant.
We sat in a spacious seat at the back of the restaurant and ordered a set of seafood paella and mushroom paella.
We were very satisfied with the taste, which exceeded our expectations.
Each set also came with a mini salad and a cup of soup, and it was reasonably priced.
We can recommend this restaurant.
The restaurant is located down some confusing stairs.

An eclectic restaurant in an eclectic building with an eclectic menu and staff.  We enjoyed the lunch set here (one curry and one pasta). Huge salad and a drink were included. Large portions, food was very good. The restaurant is in the basement of an Art Deco building. It has a neat vibe.

The underground space is interesting.

The interior of the store has a high ceiling and an overseas atmosphere! !

A wonderful cafe in the heart of town. A great escape from the crowds in the Nishiki market and shopping arcade. It is in the basement of an older building and has a really cool style. The food is good and they have good drinks as well. A perfect place to relax or meet friends.
