Lunch at Nara Konishi alley ???? Cafe Luce My hubby and myself had a most scrumptious and relaxing cafe lunch of Hamburger Rice + Omurice ( ie Fried Tomato Rice with a blanket of Omelette over it). The meal was truly delicious. ???? The hamburg steak patty was well seasoned and was juicy and succulent. ???? The omelette was fluffy and soft. I still remember this delightful meal at Cafe Luce, Nara. Why? Because this is also one of the tastiest meals I had in Japan. We spent a quiet lunch hour in this cafe and after that, it gave me the energy to run all over Nara Park and the temples and shrines:) ???? Service was polite, efficient and friendly.

Inexpensive and delicious food. Omelette+mushroom+tuna+rice dish is the winner.
