レオス - Hachimantai-shi

Located just past the intersection of Ooara's shopping street along the national highway. The parking lot is wide and located next to the restaurant. I think there are more seats inside than the parking capacity. The menu is mainly Western cuisine. The first floor was empty when I entered, but they mentioned that the second floor was also available, so I was seated on the second floor. The second floor has a spacious and open atmosphere with a triangular roof. They asked us to ring the bell when we needed service, but we couldn't find a bell on the table. After searching for a while, we found a bell-shaped object near the self-service water station that looked like an emergency bell. When we rang it, a staff member came up from downstairs. I thought it might be confusing if the second floor gets crowded and we don't know who rang the bell. The menu includes recommended dishes for different times of the day, and curry seems to be popular for those in a hurry. We ordered the hamburger and gratin spaghetti. The dishes arrived a bit earlier than the time written on the menu. The hamburger seemed to have been baked in the oven after being seared on the surface. When we cut into it, the juices spilled out - it was delicious when combined with the demi-glace sauce. The portion of rice seemed a bit small, but with soup and salad, it's satisfying for female diners. There is an option to upsize the meal for an additional 300 yen. I would like to try the evening menu as well, as it seems to be a good deal.

This restaurant holds special memories for my wife from her childhood. I have also visited several times and find the hamburgers to be truly delicious, the atmosphere inside the restaurant to be great, and the staff members to be very friendly. It's a place where you'll want to linger for a long time. We will definitely visit again.

I chose this restaurant based on reviews. It is a Western-style building that doesn't look like a typical dining hall, with prices mostly in the three digits. It is a place that offers a small selection of alcohol. I tried their famous hamburger, which was very delicious. The soup that came with it had a good broth but lacked a bit of salt, making it a bit bland. The salad dressing was strong, creating a delicate balance. The hamburger itself was juicy and a good size at around 200g, and the addition of beans was a nice touch. The menu was easy to read, and they color-coded the time it takes for each dish to be served, which made it clear that this is a customer-first establishment. I had coffee after the meal and ordered the coffee of the month, which had a lot of umlauts and an intriguing name that caught my attention. The fruity taste when I first took a sip was fresh and enjoyable. I would definitely like to visit this restaurant again.
