About this place
If you can’t decide between fish and meat for lunch, Fosse Restaurant also offers pasta and curry. One diner who chose the fish dish said the cod paired well with the white-wine sauce, and that the portion, including soup and salad, was satisfying. The lunch menu includes the chef’s fish and meat recommendations of the day, each served with soup, salad and bread or rice. For a more substantial meal, there is beef fillet steak, as well as the Sakura Lunch, a platter combining seafood and meat.
In the mood for something fried? Try the platter of fried prawns and scallops. A diner who ordered it enjoyed the accompanying tartare sauce and the crisp, lightly flavoured coating. Lunch options also include hamburger steak, Napolitan spaghetti, beef curry and shrimp curry—a handy selection of Western-style favourites. Many lunch dishes come with bread or rice, and the menu also notes that coffee or tea can be added after the meal.
The cakes stand out for their descriptions as well as their flavours. A seasonal shortcake generously topped with strawberries and a strawberry-and-tea tart with fragrant tea both put fruit centre stage. Other choices take a different direction: Matcha pairs pleasantly bitter green-tea mousse with raspberry, while Mandarin layers citrus mousse with white chocolate. For a richer finish, there is a Mont Blanc made with smooth chestnut paste and a hint of liqueur, or a flourless chocolate cake.
The meal is also framed by views of cherry trees along the outer moat through the large windows. Some diners have enjoyed lunch while looking out at the park’s greenery; others have described the setting as quiet enough for conversation. It may suit a meal with friends or a business lunch.
