Reviews
The elaborate sauce is delicious, as you would expect from a Western restaurant. The rice is a little questionable, but for something this carefully made these days, a set meal starting from 1,000 yen is reasonable. There is a paid parking lot nearby, but be careful as it fills up quickly.
10人以上の行列でしたが、ここで一つ注意点があります。
受付方法: 並ぶ前に、店内入口の扉を開けてすぐ左側にあるボードに名前を書くスタイルです。
外からは見えにくく、私も最初は気づかず並んでしまいましたが、前に並んでいた親切な方が教えてくれました。名前を書いておけば順番に呼んでもらえるので、まずは中を確認しましょう!
■ いただいたメニュー:ブラボーセット
マスターおすすめのセット。ハンバーグ、車海老フライ、クリームコロッケという贅沢なラインナップです。
特に海老フライは身がぎっしり詰まっていて、プリップリの歯ごたえでした。
■ 店内の様子
1階: カウンター席と、2人掛けテーブルが2つほど。
2階: 意外と広く、4人掛けが5卓と2人掛けもあり、グループでも利用しやすそうでした。
■ その他メモ
神戸の「グリル一平」との違い: 神戸地区にある有名店とは名前が同じだけで特に関係はないそうですが、こちらも負けず劣らず、間違いなく美味しい名店です。
駐車場: 店の目の前に「タイムズ」があります。2026年1月現在で30分220円。車でのアクセスも良好です。
下町の温かさと、本格的な洋食の味。お気に入りの一軒です!
This restaurant originated from the post-war Kansai tradition of Western-style cuisine, later taking root in Amagasaki during a period of rapid economic growth. Amagasaki was a typical industrial city, and workers needed substantial, flavorful, and reasonably priced meals after get off work; Western-style cuisine perfectly filled this need. It’s not a French restaurant, but rather a “town-style Western-style meal”—making Western food a staple.
The heart of the restaurant is its homemade Demigras sauce. Beef bones and vegetables are slow-cooked for a long time, resulting in a rich, slightly bitter flavor that isn’t overly sweet. The signature dish, Beef Cutlet, revolves around this sauce: a thin, crispy outer coating, while the beef inside remains tender. Dipped in the dark sauce, it immediately becomes rich and substantial. Served with a bowl of white rice, it offers a typical Showa-era sense of satisfaction.
This dish lacks fancy plating, yet represents the aesthetics of an industrial city—substantial, stable, and repetitively reliable. Many regulars have been ordering this beef katsu for decades. Its value lies not in its stunning appearance, but in the time it has been refined.
(Chicken cutlet with demi-glace sauce, white fish gratin sauce, omelet, potato salad, ham and lettuce salad, rice)
From the moment I arrived at the restaurant, I could sense something extraordinary. A line 15 minutes before opening… Everyone here knows what’s good. The chef himself opened the door and greeted me with a “Welcome!” I was immediately captivated. Stylish chanson and classical music played quietly throughout the restaurant, and Western-style paintings adorned the walls. It’s not flashy, but it’s a strangely calming, sophisticated space.
Now, the all-important service lunch.
This was truly “authentic Western cuisine” that truly captured a man’s heart.
■ Chicken Cutlet with Demi-Glace Sauce
The batter was crispy, and the meat was soft and juicy. It was piping hot, and the rich flavor of the demi-glace spread with every bite. I nearly exclaimed, “Delicious!” This is a manly dish that packs a punch.
■ Fried White Fish with Gratin Sauce
Fluffy white fish topped with a creamy gratin sauce. It’s the perfect temperature, neither too hot nor too lukewarm. The gentle flavor complements the chicken cutlet perfectly.
■ Omelette
Soft and sweet, it’s comforting the moment you put it in your mouth. I wonder why Western-style omelets are so comforting.
■ Potato Salad
Moist, with a good balance of ingredients. It’s so well-made that it could easily be a whole dish on its own.
■ Ham and Lettuce Salad
Crunchy lettuce and moist ham. The coolness is just right, and the first bite instantly soothes the body.
■ Rice
Plump and perfectly cooked, it pairs perfectly with any dish. It’s the “unsung hero” of the dish.
The overall colours were beautiful, with a perfect balance of white, yellow, brown and green, and the moment I saw it I knew “this is a hit.” The more I ate, the more I felt the careful work and sincerity put into this lunch.
My honest impression was that it made me happily comment, “Isn’t this a bit too extravagant for a service lunch?” It was unpretentious, yet delicious. It was that kind of “manly Western food.”
I wonder if it’s a branch of the main store in Sannomiya?
We visited around noon on a weekday, and the first floor of the two floors was full, so we were shown to the second floor.
The menu was extensive and I wasn’t sure what to eat, but I decided to go with the ladies’ set my wife ordered. It was like a kids’ lunch for adults, and everything I had was delicious.
I’d like to stop by again next time I’m in the area.
I’ve been to the Sannomiya restaurant a few times, but this one had a great atmosphere and a nice interior.
I ordered the Ippei lunch ☀️ and the daily lunch special.
The Ippei lunch came with a hamburger steak, white fish, and fried shrimp and was very satisfying and delicious.
My friend said the daily special was also very filling and delicious.
I also wanted to try the Italian spaghetti served on a hot plate.
I wanted to have lunch at a proper restaurant, so I came here.
I had the Ippei lunch.
With crispy pork cutlet, curry sauce, fried shrimp, fried white fish, ham, potato salad, pickles, and spaghetti, I was satisfied even before eating! Once I ate, I was doubly satisfied and glad I came!
The clientele was good, with elegant, mature couples, businessmen, and even people in work clothes like us.
I would recommend this restaurant to anyone, any occasion. We left satisfied with everything from the menu to the ambiance, service, and exterior of the restaurant.
We entered the restaurant around 11:45, and there were only counter seats available on the first floor. We were shown to the second floor, which was about 80% full.
I felt this was a restaurant with many repeat customers, making me want to return.
The cream croquette was delicious!
You can add rice and soup for an additional fee.
It’s a two-story restaurant, with a counter and tables on the first floor and table seating on the second.
There’s a piano on the second floor, and we enjoyed the old-fashioned, slightly elegant atmosphere.
It felt like we were dining in a cultural building.
It was a very satisfying lunch. There was a huge menu, and it was hard to choose. I’ll come again!
