About this place
A ham and cheese sandwich with an iced coffee makes for a quick lunch at BEER & CAFE Ritoru Myunhen. The sandwich, with the flavour of beef ham balanced by the richness of cheese, costs ¥600; iced coffee made with organically grown beans is ¥500. One diner who ordered both praised the care put into the sandwich and the taste of the coffee—a useful guide if you are after a light meal.
For something more substantial, weekday lunch brings a choice of curries. Plain curry is ¥600; the cheese curry, topped with cheese and baked, is ¥720; and the grilled chicken curry, made with chicken marinated in a house sauce, is ¥750. There is also a tender beef curry, with beef simmered slowly, for ¥900. Reviews mention its moderate spiciness, and the menu offers options for anything from a lighter bite to a more filling lunch.
As the name suggests, beer is part of the appeal. The drinks list includes draft Kohaku Yebisu and Edelpils, while small plates such as currywurst—sausage and potatoes topped with curry powder and ketchup—make good companions. In the basement of Shinjuku Nishiguchi HALC, the café is also described in reviews as a place to drop in alone for a quick drink or take a break over coffee.
