In Kameoka, I visited a popular restaurant. There is a parking lot at the back of the shop where about 20 cars can be parked, and I managed to slide in for the last spot. The shop is a cute wooden-style building surrounded by flowers, which is popular among women. I ordered the garlic and bacon arrabbiata pasta in a Japanese-style soup base. When you order it as a set, you can choose from the salad bar and free drinks. Even just the salad and drink were enough to satisfy my hunger. The pasta didn't have any standout features. Overall, I left with a full stomach. Rating: ① Presentation = 3, ② Freshness = 3.2, ③ Seasoning = 3, ④ Service = 3, Cost-Performance = 3

Louisiana Mama Kameoka store, thank you very much for the other day. My name is Kimchi Kirashiteru. On the last day of the three-day weekend, when it was too hot to go anywhere, I drove to your store. It was a relief to be able to wait in the parking lot for a while. I was also grateful that I could bring my baby stroller into the small store. The quality of the salad bar was very high, and I couldn't believe that I could eat so many desserts for just 2,000 yen. I will definitely come back again. In order to maintain the high quality of this restaurant, I would like to ask you to consider limiting your expansion to local chains. Thank you for the delicious meal.

The salad bar had a variety of rice dishes, bread, appetizers, soup, and drinks, all of which were delicious. The mushroom cream sauce pasta with truffle oil had a strong flavor, and the fresh mushrooms were crunchy and tasty. The service was friendly and welcoming. However, I noticed that the disposable gloves provided were dirty from food or drinks that had spilled in the box. Despite the ice being replenished from when I first visited the salad bar to when I went to get a drink after my meal, the box remained dirty, which was a bit off-putting. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere, but the narrow entrance, salad bar, and aisle made it stressful to navigate around staff and other customers.

I had heard that this restaurant was popular locally, so I visited it outside of the lunch rush. I sat at a table and looked at the menu, which had a wide variety of options including pasta and pizza. I had a hard time deciding, but I ended up ordering the "Scallop and Shrimp Cream Sauce Pasta" (1,749 yen). In addition to the main pasta dish, it also came with a salad bar and a drink bar. The salad bar had a wide variety of vegetables, and even though I only took a little of each item, it ended up being a mountain of food. The pasta was cooked al dente and the rich, creamy sauce coated it well. The scallops had a firm texture and the shrimp were plump and juicy. The portion of pasta was generous and very delicious. At first, I thought it was a bit pricey for lunch, but after actually trying the salad, soup, drink, and pasta, I felt satisfied both in terms of quantity and taste. I'm looking forward to trying their pizza next time.

I went on a Monday not knowing there was a dessert buffet in addition to the salad, drink, and soup all-you-can-eat. I was surprised by the 1-hour wait on a weekday but it was worth it. I had shrimp and scallop cream pasta, chicken karaage pizza, salad, and tried 9 out of the 10 dessert options. I ended up taking the pizza home. I think the buffet dishes are tastier than the pasta and pizza.

My daughter and I searched for an Italian restaurant in Kameoka and happened to come across this place. The pasta in the photos on Instagram looked delicious and the interior of the restaurant had a cute atmosphere, so we decided to go here. My daughter drove while I sat in the passenger seat. We were planning to make a reservation, but unfortunately, they were not accepting any reservations that day. Despite the fact that it takes almost 2 hours from Osaka, we couldn't make a reservation, which was disappointing. It was a Sunday afternoon and as expected, the popular restaurant was quite crowded. We waited for about 20 minutes on the bench outside the restaurant and finally got inside. I felt tired even before having lunch. The pasta we ordered for two was: Bacon and eggplant pasta for 1,430 yen, Basil and prosciutto pasta for 1,580 yen. Lunch came with a salad bar and a drink. I also ordered a draft beer for 500 yen. Having beer for lunch is the best. Finally, the restaurant's exterior is colorful and very cute. I wish they would stop using Asahi beer glasses (lol). The pasta wasn't to our liking, which was disappointing. The salad bar and drink included in the lunch set were quite a good deal. It seems to be loved by the locals, and the service from the staff was good. We enjoyed our meal. Thank you for the delicious food.

Feeling very hungry, I found the cozy and cute restaurant "Louisiana Mama Kameoka Store" about a 15-minute walk from JR Kameoka Station, just one street south of the intersection of Route 9 at Furuseguchi. The lunchtime parking lot was full, indicating its popularity. Finally, when my turn came, I entered the crowded room with low ceilings that extended towards the back, but the staff's friendly service made the experience pleasant. The system here is that when you order a pizza or pasta, you get a salad bar and free drinks. With a wide variety of menu options, it took a while to decide what to order. This time, my friend and I decided to share the Pescaatore (1.5 times portion) for ¥2046 and the Genova Pizza for ¥1606. After placing our order, we headed to the buffet corner. There were quite a few dishes to choose from, so we were busy picking our favorites. The salad bar had a variety of options such as fried potatoes, marinated cabbage, eggplant stir-fry, tomato stewed beans, corn soup, short pasta, garlic rice, focaccia, and more. Of course, there were also drinks like coffee, tea, and orange juice available. Since the buffet area was a bit narrow, we had to be considerate of others while getting our food. The mountain of Pescaatore was impressive, with a comforting homemade tomato sauce flavor that reminded me of the dishes my mother used to make. The pizza had a strong flavor of olives and salami, with a crispy crust that was authentically Italian. It was definitely a filling meal! The garlic stir-fried mushrooms as a side dish were delicious, especially when eaten on top of the focaccia. Overall, it was a fun and satisfying lunch at this cozy Italian restaurant. The lunch menu (11:00-15:00) includes your choice of dish, Italian salad bar, free drinks, and soup (dessert buffet is available for an additional charge).

I decided to have lunch in Kameoka and searched on Tabelog to find this restaurant. I arrived around 12:30 and there were several groups of customers waiting. The staff explained that the wait would be about 30 minutes, and they would give me a call when my table was ready if I waited in my car. This service was very convenient. As predicted, I received a call after about 30 minutes and excitedly entered the restaurant. For lunch, you can choose pasta or pizza with appetizers, a drink, and optional dessert. I was torn between the many options on the menu but ended up ordering the most popular Carbonara Charcoal-Grilled Style for 1,436 yen. While waiting for the pasta, I enjoyed the all-you-can-eat appetizers and drinks, with a variety of 10 options each. The taste was not bad and quite enjoyable. When the pasta arrived, the staff sprinkled Parmesan and pepper on top. I wished they had put more Parmesan, but I felt embarrassed to ask for more. In hindsight, I should have asked for more Parmesan as the Carbonara was a bit light in flavor. It was a delicious and enjoyable lunch time. Thank you for the meal.

I visited this restaurant on a Sunday for a bike tour lunch because it had good reviews. The parking lot was spacious, so I felt relieved even with my bike. The exterior of the restaurant was colorful and cute. A few minutes later, we were seated and the menu with delicious-looking pizzas and pastas was extensive. We ended up ordering a cheese fondue and Genovese pasta set for two, at my partner's request. Drinks and Italian salad were all-you-can-eat, so I quickly went to get some. The salad with crunchy lotus root and beans was delicious. The cheese fondue arrived soon after, and it was a luxurious lunch. We ate to our heart's content, and finished with a choice of four homemade desserts, all of which were moist and delicious. I could see why this place was popular. The staff were efficient and asked us how the food was, providing excellent service. I will definitely stop by again when I'm in Kameoka. Thank you for the meal.

On a rainy Sunday afternoon around 1 pm, I visited this restaurant for a late lunch. I thought I was coming at a less busy time, but to my surprise, it was packed and I was fourth in line. It had been quite a while (maybe 20 years?) since my last visit. They told me they would call my phone when my table was ready, so I waited comfortably in my car in the parking lot. It was nice to wait in the rain! There were so many menu options, but I decided to go with the pasta lunch set. I got the basil shrimp cream pasta, charcoal-grilled carbonara (2 servings), and the set came with appetizers, free drinks, and desserts. I left feeling very full! The staff seemed to take pride in their work and despite being busy, they provided excellent service with a smile. I can't wait to come back next time with an even bigger appetite!

This is Louisiana Mama's Kameoka branch. I have visited Louisiana Mama and Canary Row stores before, but this was my first time visiting the Kameoka branch. I made a reservation for right after the store opened on a Saturday. It was a good decision to make a reservation because it quickly filled up. The store is located south of the Furusoguchi intersection along Route 9. The exterior is small and has a bright Western atmosphere. There is also a parking lot at the back of the store. The interior of the store is bright and Southern European in style. As soon as you enter, there is a service space for the appetizer bar. The tables are lined up and it seems like it can accommodate many people. The staff at the store were also polite. The menu includes pasta, pizza, and when you order individual items, it comes with an appetizer bar and a drink bar. Depending on the set, it may come with a dolce, and you can also add a dolce for an additional fee. Similar to the store in Kyotanabe, the dolce used to be brought by the staff before the pandemic and there were 3 types, but now it is self-service and you can choose from 4 types. On this day, I ordered the limited autumn menu item "Fettuccine with Cream Sauce and Black Truffle" with the appetizer bar, drink bar, and dolce for 1970 yen. While waiting, I enjoyed the appetizer bar. Compared to the store in Kyotanabe, the service space was smaller and there were fewer types of appetizers, which was disappointing. Among the items I took, the Zeppoline was freshly fried with a fluffy and chewy texture, and the aroma of seaweed was effective, which was very good. The Curry Pilaf had a nice texture and a moderate curry flavor, making it easy to eat. The Shiitake Jardino had a good accent of pepper and seemed like a good accompaniment for alcohol. The Fettuccine with Cream Sauce and Black Truffle had a rich flavor with plenty of cream sauce, bacon, mushrooms, and spinach as toppings, mixed with a paste-like black truffle. When mixed, its unique aroma spreads. The taste is rich with plenty of creamy sauce, smooth, and the texture of the fresh pasta fettuccine is very pleasant. Also, the bacon was very juicy with a lot of fat, which was impressive. It's a pasta where you can enjoy a deep, autumn-like flavor. This was my first visit to Louisiana Mama's Kameoka branch, but like other branches, I think it was a bright and comfortable place to be. I would like to visit again when I have business nearby.

It's delicious! The cost performance is also quite good! You really need to be careful not to overeat (laughs). This restaurant can be highly recommended not only for the quality of the food relative to the price, but also for the high level of hospitality from the staff. It's rare to find a restaurant at this price point where every staff member provides such pleasant service. Even though they were busy, they took the time to thoroughly clean the tables before welcoming the next customers. It's truly a wonderful restaurant.

I visited this restaurant based on a friend's recommendation. I got a bit lost finding the place, but eventually made it. I didn't expect the portions to be so generous, so I was too full to even touch the dessert at the end after eating the yakiniku. The drinks and salad were buffet-style, with a good variety and quality. My friend really enjoyed the dessert at the end of the course. I'll definitely come back next time when I'm hungry! I want to visit again.

Sometimes I crave cheese fondue, pasta, or pizza, and when I do, I often go to Louisiana Mama, including other branches. Personally, I think the atmosphere and taste are the best! I recommend the Kameoka branch. The cake buffet has a stable supply, and I feel like the drink corner is the most fulfilling. The staff are friendly and the service is good, so I like it. The mushroom white sauce pasta this time was delicious with the rich cream sauce coating the pasta well.

Travel in Kansai. Next, I headed to Kameoka City, Kyoto Prefecture. I transferred to the San'in Main Line from Kyoto Station. It takes about 30 minutes by train to reach Kameoka Station. It's about a 15-minute walk from there. There are some shops around Kameoka Station, but this particular restaurant is located in a residential area. There is greenery around the restaurant, and it doesn't seem like a place where tourists would visit, at least not the locals. Why did I go out of my way to visit this restaurant in such a location? It was because it had been featured on TV before. Apparently, it's a favorite spot of Ayumi Kaihori, a member of the World Cup-winning team of the former Nadeshiko Japan. Being a bit of a fan, I had it on my list to visit. I arrived on a Saturday evening around 5 pm. It's a single-story restaurant surrounded by greenery, giving it a cozy feel. The bright wall colors give it a fancy vibe. Upon entering, the staff greeted me. It seemed like the evening session started at 5 pm, and there didn't seem to be any other customers yet. I mentioned that I was dining alone, and I was led to a table for two. The interior is bright and has a fancy decoration, catering more towards women, I'd say. It can be a bit awkward for a lone guy... I looked at the menu. The dinner menu includes spaghetti, pizza, doria, and cheese, with an Italian vibe, but they also offer paella. This time, I was there for the paella. The seafood paella was Ayumi Kaihori's favorite menu item as featured. I asked the staff if it would be too much for one person, and they said it's okay if it's just the dish. So, I ordered the seafood paella (2000 yen) as a single item, and also requested a draft beer. Since it's paella, it takes a bit of time. Maybe about 15 minutes of waiting. They set a solid fuel stand on the table, which allows you to keep the dish warm and enjoy it freshly without it getting cold. The seafood paella had shrimp, squid, scallops, clams, along with paprika, asparagus, onions, tomatoes, and other vegetables, making it quite luxurious. The rice absorbed the essence of the seafood, and it was slightly crispy and delicious. The rice, infused with flavors from various ingredients, was the best part. I switched to white wine halfway through. It had a refreshing taste and was slightly dry. It didn't interfere with the meal, which was great. But the best part was the service provided by the staff. The young staff members, both male and female, were polite, humble, and well-trained. They treated me kindly, even as a lone male customer. The menu had a wide variety of options, with various sharing options for groups. It's a restaurant that I would like to visit with a group next time.

Louisiana Mama. A restaurant review for a pasta and pizza house with a Southern European style surrounded by herbs and beautiful greenery. The restaurant offers a lunch menu that includes your choice of dish, an Italian salad bar, free drinks, and soup. The reviewer enjoyed the variety and quality of the food, such as corn potage soup, pasta with mentaiko and smoked salmon, and curry pilaf. The restaurant follows COVID-19 safety measures with mask and glove requirements. The reviewer also noted that Louisiana Mama is a branch of the nationwide chain Canary Row, and compared the atmosphere to a Canary Row restaurant in Himeji.

This is my second time posting, but I visit this restaurant 3 or 4 times a year. Whenever I think about going somewhere, this place always comes to mind. Ultimately, a restaurant that I keep coming back to must be a good one for me. This time, my family gathered for lunch after a long time, so we decided to visit. I called to make a reservation, but they were already fully booked. Well, we'll just wait outside. After a 30-minute wait, we were finally seated at a table. This place is great because there are always many people, so you can try a variety of dishes. This time, with my son joining us, we ordered: - Sweet basil peperoncino with smoked salmon for 1480 yen (excluding tax) - Fresh pasta with shrimp fritters in tomato sauce fettuccine (forgot the price!) - Capri pizza for 1880 yen (excluding tax) The dry pasta here is also delicious. The basil pasta had a wonderful basil aroma and was really tasty! The fresh pasta was just okay today. It felt a bit like udon noodles. It's usually more chewy and delicious, but maybe it was a bit off today. The pizza was the usual Capri, similar to a Margherita. Consistently delicious. The salads here are always tasty too. I'd like to come back with my son's future spouse or children someday. We'll definitely be back.

I went there for the first time in over 10 years. We had dinner with 3 adults and 2 children! There were various salads and dishes in the buffet, and I was already full before the main dishes like pizza and pasta arrived... haha. The drink selection was great with many fruit juices. All the dishes were very delicious!! For dessert, we could choose 3 out of 11 options. The matcha panna cotta, orange chiffon, and berry cake (I think it had a different name) were all delicious and I was very satisfied!!

A local restaurant with a full house. They have a salad bar where you can eat to your heart's content. The menu with pasta inside the baked gratin is exquisite. I would definitely want to visit this restaurant again when I'm nearby.

The restaurant was very cute, and the salads and pasta were delicious. The salad bar had a wide variety of options, and I left feeling full. The drinks were also unlimited. Next time, I want to try the pizza.
