Review of the menu

FAMiRES Salad with Grilled Chicken (1,848 yen)

Here is what I ordered for my main course.

• Plenty of leafy greens
• Grilled chicken is savory and juicy
• Eggs, cheese, and vegetables are well balanced and satisfying

Salad is not a light meal, but a meal in its own right.
The volume is ample, but the price range may seem a bit high compared to that of a typical family restaurant.

Overall comment｜A restaurant that has updated the concept of a "family restaurant

FAMIRES is a restaurant that has updated the concept of "family restaurant",

• Want to eat in a relaxed atmosphere in Harajuku
• Want to eat a proper meal while working
• Want to eat out with children without compromise

This is a "new family restaurant" that is just right for such people.

The price is a little higher than most family restaurants,
But considering the space, the comfort, and the perfection of the food, the "Harajuku price" is enough to convince me,
I was convinced that the price was "Harajuku price".

If you visit Harakado,
I highly recommend you to experience Harakado for yourself.
