Rediscover the Charm of Veggies! 4 Must-Try Dishes at a Rare Farm Restaurant in Sapporo!
The farm-to-table restaurant, a style where a restaurant is run on a farm, can be found throughout Hokkaido. However, in urban areas like Sapporo, there are many restrictions, making it a difficult venture. But we've found one such precious farm restaurant! How about enjoying plenty of fresh vegetables in Sapporo?
The name of the restaurant is "Vegetabelle." It's a double-meaning, combining "vegetable + belle" for "vegetable beauty" and a play on the Japanese words "yasai + tabere," meaning "eat vegetables." Located in Shinoro, this farm restaurant is marked by its cute green building. Please note that it is only open for lunch and tea time.
Upon entering, the high ceilings create a spacious and open atmosphere, filling you with anticipation. There is also a shop inside where colorful vegetables are displayed, which irresistibly stimulates the appetite. The dishes, made with an abundance of fresh vegetables from the farm, are not only delicious but also beautiful! Let's dive in and introduce them.
First up is the recommended weekly special, the "Tabere Plate." At the time of our visit, the menu included, clockwise from the left: "Chicken and Sweet Potato with Lemon," "Marinated Vegetables," "Simmered Daikon Radish and Chicken," and a side of "Turnip, Chinese Cabbage, and Leek Soup." The vegetables are incredibly delicious, and it feels like your body is rejoicing with every bite.
This is also a weekly special, the "Vege Plate." As the name suggests, it's a vegetable-centric menu, featuring, clockwise from the left: "Baked Sweet Potato and Pumpkin Croquette," "Marinated Vegetables," "Peperoncino-style Tofu and Daikon Radish," and "Simmered Daikon Radish and Chicken." The soup is the same as the one mentioned before. Each dish also serves as a suggestion for how to prepare vegetables, offering inspiration for your own cooking.
The weekly specials also include dishes like this: "Braised Chicken and Daikon Rice Bowl with a Soft-Boiled Egg." It's amazing how even a rice bowl can be so colorful and beautiful! The moment it's brought to your table, you might just let out a sigh of admiration.
As you've seen, Vegetabelle's menu changes weekly. If you're curious, it might be a good idea to check their Facebook page for the menu before you go.
However, they do have regular menu items as well. This is the "Tomato Vegetable Curry." This curry, made with a homemade tomato sauce and various seasonal vegetables, has a tangy and refreshing flavor! For an extra 100 yen, you can change the rice to fermented brown rice.
As the seasons change, so do the seasonal ingredients and the menu... Vegetabelle is always full of new discoveries, so you'll never get bored.
Please come and experience the luxury that only a farm restaurant can offer.
