This is a series introducing lunch buffets that we have tried and found to be "great places to return to!" This time, we will be introducing "All Day Dining Northern Kitchen" located on the second floor of "La'gent Stay Sapporo Odori", where you can enjoy a half buffet with main course and dessert at a reasonable price.

La'gent Stay Sapporo Odori is easily accessible from Odori subway station and Tanukikoji. Its convenient location and wallet-friendly prices make it a great choice for everyday use. It is also a pioneer of the recently popular main + half buffet style, and many fans visit frequently to enjoy the monthly changing dishes.

The interior has large windows and an open feel. There are plenty of seats and it's spacious.

There are counter seats available, so you can enjoy your meal even if you're alone.

This buffet has five different main dishes that change monthly, and the price varies depending on the dish you choose. As a rough guide, pasta is 2,310 yen, meat and fish dishes are around 2,500 yen, and special dishes are around 3,000 yen. This price includes a half buffet and an authentic dessert plate, so it's a great deal!

The half buffet includes salads, appetizers, soups, curries, breads and desserts.

While waiting for the main course to arrive, let's enjoy the appetizers. There are about four types of hot and cold dishes. They use meat, fish, and vegetables in a good balance, and the flavor is not too strong, so you can have as many refills as you like. One of the fun things to do is combine the salad vegetables with the cold dishes to create your own dish.

The warm dishes, which use plenty of vegetables, have a gentle taste that makes the most of the natural flavor of the vegetables.

Vegetable mousse is a secret favorite. On this day, sweet potato was used (although it may not be available depending on the day).

This lunch buffet has many healthy dishes and is popular with women, and the reason for this is also the drink corner. I was personally impressed by the homemade detox vinegar drink and fruit smoothie. The contents change from time to time, but in a buffet where you want to keep asking for refills of food, it's a big plus to have a drink that can refresh your mouth! Of course, coffee and other drinks are also available.

While we were enjoying the appetizers, the main course arrived. This was a substantial portion for one person, so be careful not to overeat at the buffet. If you want to make the buffet your main course, we recommend pasta, and if you want to savor the food, we recommend meat or fish dishes. With an authentic Italian or French taste, it is of a quality that could easily be the main course of a course meal.

The five main dishes change monthly. They may also change seasonally.

Of course, you'll want bread to go with your main course. Croissants, multigrain bread, baguettes and other breads that go well with meals can be heated in the toaster, so you can enjoy the fragrant, freshly baked flavor. The toaster is Aladdin, which has a good reputation among bread lovers, so you can feel the attention to detail.

Aladdin's toaster bakes bread crisp on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside.

Buffet desserts usually come with a selection of small cakes, but this buffet also includes a full-fledged dessert plate that is worthy of finishing off a course meal. The dessert plate, which changes monthly, is a dish that is elaborately crafted with sauces and garnishes. There is a wide selection of black and herbal teas, so you can enjoy an elegant tea time.

A wide selection of herbal and black teas is also available, which is great for black tea lovers.

Herbal teas look great in glass cups with tea strainers!

I was quite satisfied with the main dish and dessert plate, but I couldn't leave without trying the buffet dessert! I have a separate stomach for sweets (didn't I just eat dessert?). But before that, I reset my tongue with curry. There's no option to leave without trying the curry at the buffet, right? The main dish & dessert + half buffet, which combined the best of both the course and the buffet, was excellent value for money!

The best part of both a course lunch and a buffet is that you get one main dish, one dessert and a half buffet. What's more, the prices are reasonable, starting from around 2000 yen. Personally, I also like the wide variety of herbal teas.

・You can choose from five different main dishes each month, including pasta, meat, and fish dishes. ・Healthy cold and hot dishes that use plenty of vegetables ・A dessert plate is included in addition to the sweets from the buffet! ・Authentic herbal teas and healthy drinks available ・Prices start from 2,310 yen, making it easy to buy again and again
