About this place
For a meal built around pork, La mansarda’s full-course set menu is worth considering: it features the owner’s house-made sausages, ham and terrine. The menu lists it at 8,250 yen, made with carefully selected branded pork from Japan. Some diners report that the ham and bread at dinner were homemade, while others enjoyed the handmade sausages and tender pork dishes. It’s an appealing way to follow the flavours of pork across a whole course, rather than in just one dish.
Diners who have tried the pork-focused set menu also say the owner explained the food and wine clearly. It could suit an evening when you’d like to talk through your options and choose a wine to go with the dishes.
The menu also lists a weekday-only casual dinner course for 5,500 yen. It comprises an appetiser platter, pasta chosen by the restaurant and a pork main, making it a lighter option if you’d like to sample a few courses, from appetisers through to pork.
Lunch diners have mentioned a kale salad, ham and pasta with a generous amount of pork. One report says the only lunch option was the spaghetti of the day, so lunch may be more about enjoying whatever pasta is on offer than choosing from a range of dishes.
Dine-in service is available, and the restaurant is described as suitable for solo diners. Reservations are recommended for dinner, so consider booking if you’re planning to take your time over a course.
