Rive Gauche

I had lunch with a friend of mine. When I was walking from Honmachi to Yodoyabashi, I happened to find the restaurant. I like Vietnamese cuisine. Unlike Tai foods its taste is mild and a little sweet and not so hot or spicy. I am not good at hot or spicy foods, because I sweat a lot, when I eat them. To get the worse, they cause me a bitter headache.
The restaurant is located in retro Shibakawa building. I felt as if I were in Vietnam (I would like to travel to Vietnam someday). As for furniture, interior, or table wares, everything has a good atmosphere.
We ordered a mini course for lunch. Especially I looked forward to eating phở and raw spring rolls (called «Namaharumaki»). All of the dishes met my expectation. Mild taste and artistically arranged. Last we ordered Vietnam milk coffee (it uses condensed milk instead of milk). It was strong taste. A little heavy for my stomach. A cake was also good. But I’m sorry that I forgot what cake I was served.
Staff’s attitude toward customers were also nice. When my friend was eating something, she suddenly began to be choked. The staff rushed to us to give her water.
In lunch it is not so expensive. You can eat lunch at 2000 yen or so.
You can never fail to come to this restaurant, if you love Vietnamese food.
