On the lunch menu you’ll find sushi, soup, salads and sandwiches. Unfortunately for vegetarians like me, they only serve meat and fish dishes for dinner (and, alright, a few vegetarian side dishes). For lunch they do have a vegetarian sandwich with avocado and egg, a burrata salad and two vegetarian soups.
