Colive

May 18, 2013   jjwalsh   No comments

Pasta & drinks at the counter Colive is a small and friendly, family-run restaurant-bar staffed by the co-owners themselves. When I visited we sat at the counter in full view of the kitchen. The chef-owner reminded me a bit of action star Nicolas Cage (he actually resembles him) as he quickly whipped up pasta and other fantastic western dishes to order in a spotless kitchen. The lovely co-owner meanwhile serves up the food and drinks with a friendly smile. Both of the staff keep a good eye on the customers, so you can count on great service here.

Chelsea cafe sign board Hikari-machi has been getting a boost in recent years due to the new developments going on around the Shinkansen exit side of Hiroshima Station. This once quiet, and somewhat area now has a lively main road full of ramen shops, izakaya (Japanese style pubs), bars and cafes. Chelsea Cafe is a nice cafe-bar serving cheap lunch sets (under ¥700) and is a good choice at night for a wide choice of menu items and drinks, especially for whiskey lovers.

Whether or not you visit because of its significance, it’s also a beautiful, peaceful and interesting place to wander around. Easy to find off the main road next to Fudōin-mae on the Astram Line.

Flower Festival 2013

BENI

BENI is the rather unexciting special guest at this Flower Festival, but with all the stages and stalls you should be able to find something to keep you entertained, amused or inebriated during the three days.
