ROYAL HOST


Lunch for two

Royal host is like a Denny’s diner only nicer with better choices of food. Open 24hrs, the menu is in Japanese with some English, you can figure out easily what you want as there are lots of pictures, it’s a nice big glossy menu with lots of pages with a wide range of choices, you can spend more time deciding what to order than you spend eating.You press the call button when you have decided what you want. First time I went I was waiting patiently for my order to be taken then I noticed numbers flashing above me on a screen, which happened to be table numbers duh!!! then noticed a paperweight type thing on the table which you apparently press when you finally decide what you want to order, what a great idea. Another good thing is, if you are calorie conscious each dish lists the calorie content. I sampled the spaghetti bolognaise with eggplant, but I also noticed some peas in there, you’ve got to like the Japanese for being inventive ha!!!they even put sweetcorn and fried egg on pizza. It did taste delicious and I asked for extra parmesan. Also had a glass of red wine for an extra 200yen.The other meal ordered was Hamburger, french fries and veggies with some gravy.The total cost of two meals and drinks was just under 2000yen.They serve breakfast from 7am to 11am. Another great service is the drinks bar, for an extra 390yen you have all you can drink tea, coffee soft drinks etc., I had a double expresso and poured it into a cappuccino -  what an eye opener that was...The eggs benedict is good and my friend had royal morning.

TECO TECO

Teco Teco is a Brazilian restaurant in Narita, a very inviting and friendly place. The Owners are very welcoming, They are a husband and wife team, the man is from Brazil and the wife from Japan.The food is authentic Brazilian. The salad we had for starters was so tasty with a simple dressing of oil and vinegar. The meat, rice and beans to follow were good and the infamous Capriani cocktail was excellent.
It’s home cooking at it’s best. The ambiance is lovely and decorated with nice bright colours of yellow and red. My male friends all loved the taste of the meat, I’m more a vegetarian type who has steak maybe once a month so for me this was a treat and I thoroughly enjoyed it as I went to celebrate my birthday.
