About this place
Mentaiko mayonnaise pizza, deep-fried river shrimp, a platter of 4 kinds of cheese, and iburigakko pickles with cream cheese: at Café & Bar Takamado, there are plenty of distinctively flavoured snacks to pair with a drink. Diners who ordered these dishes have said they all went particularly well with alcohol. The menu also includes 3 chicken-wing gyoza served with sweet chilli sauce and French fries with ketchup and sour cream. It is easy to build an order around what you fancy, whether you are sharing a few snacks with a group or choosing just one.
For a more substantial meal, there is pasta, too. Choices include nostalgic-style Napolitan, creamy carbonara, mentaiko pasta with squid and scallops, and seafood-rich pescatore. Some diners have praised the pasta, offering another way to shape an evening beyond a selection of bar snacks.
Drinks range from cocktails to beer and wine. One diner reported that the bar was happy to make a cocktail that was not listed on the menu, so you could describe what you like and ask for a suggestion. Another visitor mentioned enjoying a chilled-ame highball after a meal. Reviewers have also described the atmosphere as quiet and easy for conversation, making the bar an option for dinner or one more drink afterwards. Café & Bar Takamado is in Shimogyo Ward, offers dine-in service and has an evening menu.
