01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
At lunch, the choice is between fresh pasta and the daily rice plate. Cafe Bar Kay Gee’s has options in both categories that come with salad and soup, so you can choose what to centre your meal around. Fresh pasta dishes include fresh tomato, spinach and mozzarella; bacon in tomato cream sauce; and creamy carbonara. Each is listed at 1,300 yen, with a large portion available for an extra 100 yen. Several diners have remarked on the pasta’s pleasantly chewy texture. The bacon tomato cream sauce is described as house-made tomato sauce, rich in flavour, smoothed with cream. It’s one to consider if you’re in the mood for a creamy dish. For a tomato-based option, the menu also lists arrabbiata with aubergine and olives. The weekly special sometimes features pasta with aubergine and pork in a mildly spicy tomato sauce, offering another way to vary the ingredients and heat level while keeping to the same tomato base.
If you’d rather have rice than pasta, try the daily rice plate, which changes by weekday. The listed choices are omelette rice with soft-cooked egg on Monday, seasonal doria on Tuesday, hamburg steak with demi-glace sauce on Wednesday, pork ginger on Thursday and beef stew on Friday. Each comes with salad and soup for 1,300 yen, with a large portion available for an extra 100 yen. The changing main dish offers a useful alternative to the usual pasta; one diner who tried the Friday beef stew said it went well with rice.
The restaurant also takes on a bar-like character in the evening. Diners have described pairing wine with tomato-based and cream-based pasta. The menu includes red and white wines by the glass and Italian wine, as well as cocktails and beer, giving you a range of drinks to choose from with your meal. Some diners also mention the southern bluefin tuna collar, grilled, and the fatty tuna collar carpaccio. One post recommends a set featuring both, making it a possible choice if you spot it and want to order a dish beyond pasta.
Reports describe lunchtime seating ranging from counter seats to tables for groups, and one diner visited with a party of 4. With a range of dishes and seating, the restaurant can suit a quick solo lunch as well as a meal shared around a table.
