Lunch, Wednesday 13 February 2008

Cafe Bon Bon, French place on Imadegawa-dori on the other side of the river. Or on the other side of a blizzard, today.

Stick of warm bread for starters, with a little salad (lettuce with Thousand Island dressing). But the bread had no sugar in it. At least, not the cake-ish amounts of sugar bread seems to cop at most places. Points.

Chicken breast with cream sauce was the main. Served on something like boiled cabbage. Or maybe the sauce was boiled cabbage, or sauerkraut or something. Couldn't tell. I thought the sauerkraut was salty, then realised there were big lumps of rock-salt all over everything. Not to worry, salty is fine. Only.... the chicken had that special taste that chicken can only get if it's been frozen and microwaved. The coffee list was long, but it all comes from one of those machines that do all the grinding and brewing themselves. Instant, in a word.

I don't want to complain. It has one of the best locations in the city, the main bit of the restaurant has a lovely high ceiling that makes it feel all airy, there's a loft, as well as a glass conservatory thing where you can look out over the river, and you can eat at tables, or sitting back in comfy lounges. The people were friendly, it wasn't too crowded or too dull. If you take a good book, it's one of the better places in which to stay away from work.

Next time I'll just have a sandwich.

Daily lunch special, including bread, salad, and drink, 900 yen
