Organic lunch

XX
I had lunch at nestRobe yesterday. An organic cafe on the 3rd floor of a lovely boutique (men's clothing on the 1st floor and women's on the 2nd), tucked away in one of the sidestreets of Omotesando. The interior of the cafe - all the tables and chairs - are made of light wood, with clean white walls, soft light coming through the windows. One of those perfect places to escape to and breathe in between some intense shopping. That said, Omotesando is one of my favorite places to window shop and people watch. Unlike Shinjku for example, it's quite civilized and tame, even on a busy Saturday afternoon.

Back to the subject of food... I had crab meat & mushroom risotto. Subtle in flavor but the fragrance of crab and mushrooms aplenty. Beautiful. They have set menus for lunch, pasta, curry, or plate of the day, which all come with a beautiful green salad, bread, and coffee or tea.
