Queux Norme 梅田店

I went to a restaurant in Umeda that serves a fusion of French and Italian cuisine.

It's called Queux Norme Umeda and is within walking distance from each line's Umeda station 🚃.

There are both counter and table seats, and the atmosphere was relaxed ✨.

For drinks, I had:
Ginger Ale 🫚 680
Heartland beer 🍺 780
✨

I opted for the de Saison Course (Season Course) priced at 6800 yen ✨.
