01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Step down into the basement and you are met with dark-wood counter and table seating, alongside a nostalgic, unhurried atmosphere. While Cafe’ & Bar Saint Paul operates in the evening as a bar stocked with cocktails, wine, and hard liquor, midday brings a lineup of comforting, approachable yoshoku (Japanese-Western) lunch dishes.
The seafood doria arrives piping hot at the table, its rich melted cheese blanketing the ingredients for a thoroughly satisfying meal. Chicken doria and curry doria are also on offer, making it easy to choose a freshly baked rice gratin suited to your mood.
When you want something heartier, meat options include an Italian hamburg steak smothered in tomato sauce and cheese, as well as classic demi-glace and Japanese-style varieties. Served with rice and soup, these options—alongside pork ginger—make for an appealing midday standby.
The menu also covers traditional cafe staples, spanning mentaiko, tarako, and meat sauce spaghetti to beef curry, vegetable curry, and seafood pilaf. Lunch sets can be paired with coffee or tea, making it easy to linger over a warm drink after your meal.
