SHIBUYA: CUJORL Italian Lunch... comfy interior and excellent service.

A Lunch 1,000yen (Pasta), B Lunch 1,800 and C Lunch 2,400yen~...  great price points for lunch.

Layout of this restaurant was great... spacious counter seating and comfy table seats.  If you wander in alone the friendly staff will chat with you and make you feel at home.

We both went for the A-Lunch course that included bread, huge salad, pasta and an after lunch drink.

Don't let the pic fool ya but this salad was massive... couldn't finish it before the pasta arrived so was workin on it throughout lunch~... fresh fresh.

My friend ordered the Crab Tomato Pasta... very delicate and tasty.

I had the chicken and white radish in cream sauce... the radish was very soft and juicy.  Enjoyed this dish.

Close with Hot Tea...

and my Ice Tea...

Overall a great little spot in the back alleys of the quieter Shibuya district.  Definitely a very relaxing spot with a very attentive friendly staff.   My friend mentioned that today's menu was just regular so I assume some of the rotating lunch specials can be even better than what we had~... Looking forward to my next visit!

SHIBUYA: Miraflores Peruvian Lunch... Great food... Perfect service with a friendly Smile!

When Mari mentioned a great Peruvian restaurant in the shadows of the Cerulean Tower Hotel I just couldn't picture what type of food they would serve... perhaps something similar to Indian or Nepalese? Hmm...

We were standing outside looking at the daily specials and immediately one of the Peruvian waiters stepped out shook Mari's hand as he called her "Amiga!" and shook mine as he said "Amigo!"  How can any one resist... we followed him inside.

The interior is so comfortable... almost like a friends living room.  Just dark enough to feel totally relaxed. The music must have been from Nepal and so soothing...

Lunch was an VERY reasonable 800yen (sorry I didn't take pics of the menu but there were 5 solid selections).  Each order comes with a salad, main dish, dessert and closes with coffee or tea.

Soup arrived... deep flavor, extremely tasty... was craving some bread to dip into this. Excellent!

We asked our waiter his name and responded "Amigo!"  

We assumed he introduced his cute little son to us but it seems that it was one of the customers little baby...  This guy was so friendly and outgoing that even customers trust him with their little loved ones.  He spoke to during and continued to serve us with so many smiles all thru the meal.

Mari ordered the Chicken kebab sticks (hope thats what its called).  Chicken was soooo tender and juicy.   Totally recommend this.  

I had the Chorizo dish with spicy beans... tasty!

They provide you with a nice little green spicy sauce... we both loved this.

And the dessert... seemed like half tapioca and half raspberry/cranberry jelly.  Reminded me of Tapioca Pudding that I haven't had for years.  Yum!

We closed with one Ice Tea and one Hot Tea.  For 800yen you just couldn't ask for more.  Service from our waiter Amigo was simply superb and the food will definitely have you craving to go back for more.  If you are ever in Shibuya please give this place a try. Oh, 2 guys sitting next to us seemed to have been from the Peruvian Embassy so this must be a great sign of the food authenticity.

SHIBUYA: Ore Beato Italian... surprising multi-appetizers for Lunch :)

Looking for a nice lunch spot near the Cerulean Hotel and came across Ore Beato with a respectable 3.58 ranking on Tabelog.  

Daily lunch specials outside... arrived at 1:10pm and it was a full house inside... but it was a beautiful October day and opted for the suggestion to sit on the terrace.  There are 2 tiny tables for 2 outside and each chair came with a small blanket.

Lunch comes with this initial dish and a choice of Tea or Coffee.  This was actually a very nice surprise... 6 little items each with a very individual flavor.  

Waiters bring an ice cold glass of water along with your choice of lunch drink.

I ordered the daily special pasta.  Different types of mushrooms in a creamy anchovy sauce. Anchovy was not overbearing and sauce was thick enough to cover the pasta noodles.  Very good.

My friends dish was the Chicken in tomato sauce with several veggies inside.  An excellent dish that went well with the...

....home made bread.  Very chewy... Flavor was similar to pita bread.  For Lunch you have the option of rice or bread.  Waiter said the bread was home made so had to give it a try.
