Lunch, Back in Takayama
Since we had enough of Gasshozukuri houses and beautiful scenic places, and we could not fulfill our cravings for burgers on the first day, we were on a mission to find the restaurant to serve Hida Beef burgers for the very last meal we have in Takayama. Our bus will leave around 4 pm so we had plenty time to relax. So, there, we had this 2200 yen burger plate (restaruant Le Midi) for a lunch. This only happens during travels. There is no way for me to literally swallow 2200 yen burgers on normal days. The question is, was it worth 2200 yen? No, it was good but not THAT good. Maybe 1500 yen is the most I would pay for these!

One thought on “DAY 3 – Lunch, Back in Takayama 高山でランチ、飛騨牛ハンバーガー”
The burger thing was for me since I hadn’t satisfied my craving for a burger the whole trip yet. When we went in we had no idea it was going to be that expensive, but it was a French restaurant, so, probably should have expected it. I’ll have to kind of agree it wasn’t worth $20 for the burger. It certainly was delicious though. All burgers are pricey in Japan, however, because beef in general is much more expensive than in the States. Quality, in my opinion, is better as well – just not as much as the price hike would suggest. Plus, this was Hida beef, one of the best in Japan, making it pretty special. There’s a burger place near our house that charges like 1200 – 1500 yen, and this burger was a decent margin better. From a normal Japanese person’s perspective it was probably worth it. But from an American’s perspective, the 1200 yen burger or any more expensive burger isn’t worth it. The Carl’s $6 burger isn’t worth it either if you ask me. LOL I can make pretty damn good ones at home for much less!
