All the dishes are very delicious. I reserved a counter seat, but was moved to a table seat without permission. It seems that they prioritize regular customers over those who made reservations first. I ordered a drink from a female staff member, but she didn't even look at me and just said "please wait" in a cold manner while writing something down. Since no one came for a while, I ended up ordering a drink from a male staff member. It's a shame that the staff's attitude is affecting the good image of the restaurant, despite the delicious food.

We went to a restaurant recommended by a junior colleague who was transferred to Sapporo. The lasagna and spare ribs were excellent. Both were delicious. They go perfectly with highballs. The all-you-can-drink option for individual items is also worth it at 2,000 yen, and the drinks are not cheap, so it's a good deal.

I've been wanting to visit this restaurant for a long time, and finally made it! It was Thursday at 8:30 PM, but the restaurant was full so it's better to make a reservation. They do birthday surprises as well. I arrived in the middle of one so the staff didn't notice me at first, even though we made eye contact once. I started off with a toast with beer. For food, I ordered the garlic sautéed anchovy and yam, lasagna, today's pickles, and a cheese platter. I also ordered the seaweed and oyster ajillo. The staff warned that meat and pasta might take around 30 minutes, but they were served in about 20 minutes. Everything was delicious, especially the lasagna which is a must-try! However, the service could have been better as I was ignored when I tried to get their attention. Overall, I will give it another chance and visit again.

I visited a bar for drinks for the first time. This place mainly serves Spanish cuisine, with a great selection of wine pairings that make it fun to choose. This time, I had some delicious dishes like garlic shrimp and an assortment of aged meats. The wine selection is also quite good! Thank you for the meal~

Every time I pass by the shop, I was curious about Altana. It's always crowded no matter when you go. On Saturdays, it was almost full from early hours. The all-you-can-drink option for 1580 yen is great for those who want to drink, with several types of red and white wine available. Some items on the menu were crossed out (sold out?), but no problem as I was aiming for the lasagna! I ordered the adult potato salad, prosciutto-wrapped walnuts and gorgonzola, salami and clam seasonal vegetable peperoncino, lasagna, and spare ribs. All dishes were slightly salty. It might be a taste that goes well with alcohol. It was delicious, but a bit too salty for a non-alcoholic like me. However, considering the reasonable prices, great atmosphere, and excellent location, I can understand why it's so popular!

I wanted to go to this restaurant♪ Saitama Shintoshin North Exit. I was aiming for their lasagna. It was a girls' night out with my long-time friends, so we made a reservation and practiced social distancing with the other customers. The exterior of the restaurant looked nice with lights in the snow, creating a good atmosphere even from outside. The interior was also very nice!! There was only one group of customers, so we could relax and enjoy. We ordered: - Cheese Platter (3 types) 850 yen - Hard Type (Sheep) Petit Agour - Semi-Hard (Cow) San Simon - Washed (Cow) Taleggio My friends don't like blue cheese, so we chose these 3 types. The washed cheese was creamy and melted in the mouth. Delicious with beer or wine! - Saury and Shitake Mushroom Ajillo 850 yen The saury had no fishy smell and blended well with the olive oil. Perfect with wine! - Chicken Thigh Tomato Stew 1080 yen This was a safe choice! Chicken and tomato go well together! The tomato was well stewed. - Altana's Specialty Lasagna 1280 yen This was the highlight! It was incredibly delicious! What's this? The tomato sauce and minced meat were exquisite. Our stomachs and mouths were satisfied. This is the dish I would come here just to eat. - Homemade Pancetta and Mushroom Carbonara 1300 yen The cream was rich in this dish. Homemade pancetta is so tasty, with its fat. And the cheese that sprinkles on top, creating a delightful texture. It elevates the meal to the next level. - Beer - Wine I'm glad my friends had the same taste (╹◡╹) The lasagna here is amazing!! (°▽°) Thank you for the delicious meal^ ^

I have loved Altana since it opened! I haven't been able to go as often because I couldn't get in without a reservation, but thanks to the chance during the corona period, I got to visit Altana again! I still love it! I get excited just thinking about the menu items I want to order! And no matter what I order, it's always delicious! The hospitality of the staff is also top-notch! I was so eager to eat that I forgot to take pictures of some dishes (laughs). The only downside is that the drink service is very slow. But I still love Altana!

This is around Sapporo Station North Exit. Going out for drinks with a friend to avoid crowds. Having a quick drink and then heading back. The atmosphere is quite nice. However, there are more customers than expected for this time of year. But the tables are spaced out well, so we feel safe. It's hard to relax and enjoy drinks at a place with too many people nowadays. We opted for the all-you-can-drink option at 1,580 yen and started with a highball! For food, we had pate de campagne, salami and cheese platter, wine-steamed clams, Altana's famous lasagna, Altana's famous spare ribs, and olives catarana. We selected some great appetizers. The pate de campagne was a perfect match with the drinks! The salami was a bit too fatty for my liking. The cheese platter was a nice touch. The wine-steamed clams were amazing, with a rich broth that we finished in no time. The lasagna was a standout, especially paired with white wine. Highly recommended! The spare ribs were tasty, but the bones were a bit of a hassle and there were too many tendons. Not ideal for a drinking party, but great for enjoying at home or outdoors. My friend had olives, and I had catarana. A great selection of wines and a variety of options for the all-you-can-drink menu. A perfect place for a small gathering. Thank you for the delicious meal!

Now then, it's lunchtime at Sapporo Station. Since I came by car, I'll head to the north exit. I think I've been here before at night. The routine old man who always has lunch at 12 o'clock enters the restaurant first. The meat lunch is a hamburger, the fish lunch is simmered mackerel in miso. Hmm, I'm not sure about the lasagna bowl, and it's too embarrassing to ask. So, I'll go with the grated hamburger! The one-plate meal, everything is delicious. The hamburger had a slight taste of garlic, spices, and liver paste. The accompanying vegetables also had a hint of nuts and dried fruits, making it delicious! The potato salad was also delicious with a touch of something extra. The cooking after ordering really shows their skill. Furthermore, the Japanese-style soup that came with it was also tasty! I've decided to come back again!

I stopped by for a meeting and asked the refreshing staff for a Carlsberg. It was served quickly and I took a photo... Oh, that was fast, Mr. President. The beer was light and easy to drink, so I finished it quickly. I look forward to enjoying delicious food next time. I left after 3 minutes, but I appreciate the staff seeing me off. Thank you for the meal.

After enjoying Sapporo Senbero at "Totilla Flat" and doing a Pokémon GO Raid, we headed to "Ortana" on the north side of Satsueki. The restaurant had a glass exterior, giving it an open and airy feel. We arrived at 7:30 pm on Wednesday, with one group already seated and two groups arriving after us. We were seated at a table and ordered the 100-minute all-you-can-drink option with a tapas dish for 1580 yen, choosing white wine. Cheers! The tapas was delicious bread with a spread of pate. For our main dishes, we ordered a platter of three types of processed meats for 1650 yen, a slightly upscale potato salad for 550 yen, and escabeche of mountain fish for 480 yen. All the dishes were beautifully presented, and the staff provided detailed explanations of each dish, although I admit I may have forgotten some details due to the alcohol or my age. The famous dish at Ortana, the lasagna for 1408 yen, was a must-try. It was piping hot with plenty of minced meat – perfect with a glass of red wine! We toasted again and enjoyed the meal. Even my friend, who usually eats lightly, couldn't resist and dug into the lasagna with gusto. The wine from the all-you-can-drink option was flowing, and I think I had about five glasses. We were both quite tipsy by the end of our two-hour stay. The total bill came to around 7500 yen. It was another enjoyable evening.

A group of friends who used to work together as new graduates gathered for the first time in a long time. We were surprised to find this stylish Italian bar near our old workplace! In the past, near Sapporo Station North Exit, there were many cheap izakayas and bars, with a mix of old buildings and karaoke snack bars on the upper floors. But the atmosphere has completely changed now (laughs). We started with a toast with sparkling wine to celebrate our reunion! The appetizer was salmon rillette, which was easy to eat and paired well with the sparkling wine. As some members arrived late, we started with a modest order. We got a cheese platter and a small-sized adult potato salad to nibble on while enjoying our wine and chatting. We had the option to choose from 5 types of cheese for the platter, but since we weren't that knowledgeable, we left it to the staff. They ended up including a "natto-scented cheese" in response to a conversation they overheard about the Hokkaido Eastern Iburi Earthquake last year (laughs). The service was a bit embarrassing to hear, but it sparked even more lively conversations (laughs). We also added pate de campagne to our order. The unanimous choice for our main dish was the popular lasagna, which was rich in meat sauce, and we couldn't help but order red wine to go with it (laughs). The variety of reasonably priced glass wines was extensive, and when we mentioned our taste preferences and grape varieties, the staff recommended some options. We were advised that the meat dishes took some time to prepare, so we ordered them in advance. The meat dish we ordered was the Altana Special Spare Ribs with marinated meat in honey balsamic sauce. Since we were engrossed in conversation, the arrival of the dish didn't feel like it took long. The spare ribs were neatly cut into bone and meat pieces, making it easy to share among us. The meat was flavorful with each bite, and the honey balsamic sauce was slightly intense, pairing well with the meat and red wine. Since we had fewer heavy drinkers in the group this time, the bill came out to around 3,500 yen per person. It was a perfect place for a small group gathering to enjoy delicious food, drinks, and lively conversations. With a wide selection of wines and a menu that complements them, it's a great place for those who love alcohol and dishes that go well with it. They also offer a drink-all-you-can option (1,580 yen for 100 minutes, with 5 types of red and white wines, and 2 types of sparkling and rosé wines), so it seems like a good deal for gatherings with heavy drinkers. We enjoyed catching up on recent events, future plans, and recent joys, and had endless topics to chat about. It was a fulfilling recharge! Thank you for the meal and sorry for the commotion (laughs).

For the second stop, I went to an Italian bar called Orutana. It was around 6:00 pm and there were two groups of customers already there. The restaurant was small with a counter and 5 table seats, and an open kitchen. I don't remember the exact price of the all-you-can-drink option, but I think it was around 2,000 yen. I ordered the rare lamb hamburger for 1,480 yen, which took 40 minutes to cook. I also ordered a potato salad for adults for 500 yen, and chicken liver mousse for 500 yen. The potato salad was delicious with plenty of Parmesan cheese, and the chicken liver mousse had a unique flavor that I enjoyed. The lamb hamburger was juicy and flavorful, without any strong lamb taste. The vegetables that came with it were also tasty. The staff were friendly and accommodating, making it a pleasant dining experience. The Italian bar was delicious. Thank you for the meal!

I attended a company party's second party. They had a drink-all-you-can deal and asked us to order two items per person. Here are some of the dishes we ordered: - Vegetable pickles: Not too strong in vinegar, a light dish that is perfect for a break between meals. - Broccoli and shrimp ajillo: The garlic flavor is strong and goes well with alcohol. This one is dangerous, you can easily eat too much. - Adult-style potato salad: Just the right balance of flavors to munch on while drinking. Everyone couldn't help but reach for it. - Snow crab tomato pasta (I think): It was ordered by a junior female colleague... I think. The tomato flavor is rich and doesn't lose to the crab. I wish I had eaten it when I wasn't drunk. There were other dishes as well, but I forgot because I was too busy chatting. They had a variety of wines available, so we ended up drinking too much trying to match them with the food. The staff were good at recommending wines and had a nice vibe, making it a great atmosphere at the restaurant.

The wine and food were delicious. I especially enjoyed the salad. They had orange wine available. The age range of customers varied. The atmosphere was lively but not too loud. The lighting was bright.

This is where my friend works. The food is really delicious.

Meat plate with Japanese-style hamburger, 800 yen. The hamburger is very tender (can be eaten with chopsticks). The side dish, like a potato salad, has a slight sour taste. Overall, it's just delicious, I guess.

The garlic butter clams and seaweed, lasagna, and prosciutto were all delicious dishes that paired well with wine. The atmosphere was relaxed and had a nice Italian bar vibe. It's great to see many new restaurants opening near Sapporo Station North Exit.

I made a reservation and visited the restaurant on a certain weekend. The phone service was good, and the staff members were friendly and welcoming. The restaurant has glass windows, so you can see everything from outside (lol), but it was quite cold by the window. They gave me a blanket, but it was still chilly, so I think it's better to visit during warmer weather. The food was delicious overall. They mentioned that it might take some time, but it wasn't a big deal. I especially enjoyed the lasagna - I usually don't eat lasagna much because it's heavy, but this one was so good that I want to eat it again. The customers were mostly women, and the place was lively. However, some male customers came in later and started smoking... quickly filling the restaurant with smoke. Since it smelled so bad, I left early. I would like to go back because the food was good, but thinking about that cigarette smell, hmm. They also have terrace seating, so it might be nice to visit in the summer.

All the dishes are delicious.
