■A report about Rire■
I went to Rire which just opened January of 2008.
I enjoyed lunch at the restaurant in which brightness created a relaxing, comfortable atmosphere. Lunch was 1,000 yen, and I could have as much breads and coffee as I wanted with an all-you-can-eat style. The restaurant's nutrition experts made natural, delicious food which made me very happy. A variety of breads that I saw at the restaurant's front looked so delicious. I hear that they are made of natural yeast and contain miscellaneous cereals. You can eat them there or take them home. I found breads made of 100%-pure rice powders, which I think are good for those who have allergy. Also, I learned that the restaurant offers a la carte dinner.
1,000-yen lunch at Rire. You choose either course A or B. Because lunch menu changes daily, please check with the restaurant for details.
Breads made of 100%-pure rice powders among many other delicious breads. OK for take-out!
