Bistro Matsushimatei – ビストロ松島亭

週末は用あって木曽福島に行っていた。駅に着いた時はすでに13時半を回っていたが、地元でのイチ押しと言うことでランチはビストロ松島亭に駆け込む。中山道の宿場町らしく、かつては商家だったという築150年の風格ある家屋に入ると、品の良いイタリアン的な食事を提供している。パスタランチなら1200円、僕はメイン料理を加えた1800円のコースを注文した。前菜は野菜、生ハム、シュリンプなどを並べたオードブル、パスタはキャベツとサーモンのスパゲッティか山芋のピザ、メインは牡蠣のベーコン巻にほうれん草オムレツ風添えあるいは鶏肉のカツレツという流れでデザートも3点盛りだった。その内容も雰囲気も予想以上に楽しめた。



I was in Kiso-Fukushima in this weekend. It was already after 13:30 when we arrived, but we managed to have lunch at Bistro Matsushimatei; the locals recommended this restaurant the most. This area was an old village for travelers on one of the traditional routes from the east to the west, Nakasendo, and the restaurant facility was actually in 150-year old magnificent house of a merchant offering well refined Italian-style meals.
The pasta course is 1200 Yen, and the other course with the main dish is 1800 Yen which I ordered. The menu consisted of the assorted hors-d’oeuvre of vegetables, prochute and shrimps, a choice of salmon/cabbage spaghetti or pizza with yam, and a choice of bacon-rolled oysters on spinach omelet or chicken cutlet. The dessert was an assortion of three kinds. The menu as well as the atmosphere was more than my expectation, so I can recommend this place for travelers.
