About this place
For a lunch with a proper kick, Pisanri Cafe’s spice curry is one option. The menu describes it as a hot curry made with a blend of spices. One diner reported finding prawns, minced meat and lotus root in theirs, with cream, a boiled egg and fukujinzuke on the side. They also enjoyed salad, soup and a small dish of potato salad, followed by a mini dessert of strawberry and tiramisu. It makes for a satisfying picture of a lunch built around the curry’s heat, with plenty of accompaniments and a little something sweet to finish.
Lunch also includes doria made with béchamel sauce prepared in-house and quiche made from scratch, each listed at 950 yen. If you’d rather skip the spicy curry, you can choose between the creamy doria and the quiche, which is described as a popular menu item. The daily food special is also listed with salad, soup and a mini dessert, offering another choice when you’re not sure what to order.
Pudding in a jar and cakes are tempting options for after a meal or with tea. One diner described the pudding as firm and not too sweet, making it easy to enjoy after lunch. Another said the take-away pudding in a jar had a simple flavour with a noticeable taste of egg. A diner who chose the strawberry shortcake in a jar enjoyed its layers of cream, strawberries and sponge, as well as its balanced sweetness and the fruit’s tartness. A small jar dessert could suit either a cake craving or the wish for just a little something sweet after a meal.
Among the baked treats, the canelé is made with custard cream and rum. It is described as crisp and fragrant on the outside, with a moist centre. Some diners recommend the omurice as a meal option; the menu lists a version made with carefully selected eggs at 950 yen. Hot or iced coffee is 300 yen, and tea is 300 yen, so there are drinks to enjoy with your meal. The cafe is in Sakuradai, Nerima Ward, and serves lunch on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 13 to 19. Check the opening days and hours before deciding whether to go for curry or quiche, or simply enjoy something sweet.
