Toden Café

Choosing a Minowa burger starts with a choice of beef, chicken or fish. There is also a double burger made without vegetables, layered with 2 beef patties and 4 slices of cheddar. One diner who stopped by for lunch said the sauce was restrained, letting the flavour of the meat come through, while shredded salad made the burger satisfyingly substantial. Another chose the fish burger and was pleased with the generous portions of both the burger and fries. For something lighter, mini burgers are available with either 100% beef or grilled chicken. Both can be customised with toppings; cheese, bacon and a fried egg are listed at 100 yen each.

Beyond burgers, a platter of white fish and fries comes with ketchup and tartar sauce. One diner said they enjoyed the fish and chips at lunch; it is a substantial choice when you want more than a small side. Desserts include tiramisu and baked cheesecake. One visitor enjoyed the tiramisu’s gentle bitterness and sweet cream, along with a moist, rich cheesecake, paired with an iced café latte. The menu also lists the Todenya parfait, layered with banana, frozen strawberries, ice cream, whipped cream and coffee jelly.

Railway models and photographs add to the atmosphere, as do seats from an actual train carriage. It makes a distinctive setting for a burger-and-coffee lunch or dessert afterwards.
