ランチがとてもおいしい。 ソテーのソースが若干甘め。秋田らしい味付けと思われます。

前から気になっていた、マシュウさんへ友人と行きました。オープンしてすぐに行ったのですが、次から次とお客様が来店ですぐに満席でした。日替わりランチとスイーツね黒糖のアイスクリームを注文しました。日替わりランチは、ワンプレートにサラダとナスと豚肉のグラタン、スープそれにコーヒーに1枚のクッキーがついてました。サラダの野菜もグラタンもとてもやさしい味付けで美味しかったです。黒糖アイスクリームは、食べれば食べるほどまた食べたくなるやみつきな味で絶品でした。また、行きたいです。

秋田の洋食屋。ポークチーズピカタなどの手の込んだランチが食べられる。丁寧な料理に満足です。
