My restaurant review about Hungarian dishes!

Hello:)
 I write this blog at 6 a.m., because I didn't do my homework during the winter vacation!
How lazy I was!!I regret my laziness...


Anyway, here is my restaurant review.

On December 22nd, I went to “GERBEAUD” with my friend, Mizuka. This restaurant is famous for Hungarian dishes which are novel in Tokyo. This restaurant is located on the second floor in AO building, Omotesando. It takes us within 10 minutes to go there from our university. On the second floor, there are many boutiques, so the atmosphere is rich and stylish.


When we arrived at the restaurant, a waiter guided us to the seat soon, and we sat by a widow. He wasn’t Japanese, but he could speak Japanese fluently. As to other customers, there were many foreign customers who spoke not only English but also Hungarian. So the bilingual waiter was needed at the restaurant.
Before we ordered cuisines, the waiter brought menu, water, and small damp towels within a minute! At the restaurant, jazz music was played and the volume was acceptable. The restaurant’s temperature was nice, but there were lap blanket on the chair which we could make free use of.


Although the restaurant serves Hungarian dishes, we can also enjoy other dishes, like pasta and omelet. However their recommendation is of course Hungarian dishes, so we ordered them. The Hungarian dish, which is called Goulash, is made of paprika, beef, and potatoes. And we can eat it with Langos which is fried bread.


After we ordered them, our drinks were served within 5minutes. And within another 5minutes, salad, garnish, and main dish were served. Salad’s taste was so nice, and its dressing was like onion taste. As to garnish, it was made from potatoes and seasoning may be mayonnaise. Main dish, Landos and Goulash, seated in white and strange shape dishes. The temperature was proper and the smell made me so hungry! As to Langos, sour cream was on the fried bread and looked like pizza. The texture was not so crispy, but springy. And it was fried, but I didn’t feel it was greasy. Moreover Goulash tasted like tomato, but its smell was like paprika. There were so many vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, and green pepper. And beef was cut into square, so we can be satisfied with the volume as well.



While we enjoyed the dishes, the waiter came us again and again to pour water. And he cleared dishes which we finished eating. I thought these services were so good and made me want to come there again.
After we enjoyed lunch, we could pay money separately. These days some restaurants refer to pay money individually, so I thought that point was also good. And many waiters said thank you cheerfully.

 Overall, I became to like the restaurant, and I want to visit there again to eat other dishes. We didn’t try desserts this time, but they recommended them to us, so I’m looking forward to eating them next time. Their atmosphere, dishes, and service were really nice and I surely recommend you to try Hungarian dishes at the restaurant.

My analysis of restaurant review

Happy New Year!
And long time no see. I'm sorry about that.

As to my winter vacation, I went to Kyoto with my family and I really enjoyed the trip!
I recommend you to visit there in winter. The snow is sometimes  too heavy to make us bother, but it's also very romantic, I think.

Then today, I'll tell you about my analysis of restaurant review. 
First one is written report which source is here.

"The pleasures of pasta at cozy Corretto"


‘Does the reviewer shoe any special “insider” knowledge of the chefs or the restaurant’s plans for the future?’

The reviewer told us that executive chef fashions the ravioli and gnocchi by herself. This information may not be known by so many people, and if we know that, we’ll become to want to eat them. However the restaurant’s plan wasn’t written in the review.


‘From the type of restaurant being reviewed and from the style of writing, what would you guess about the readers of this newspaper (their socioeconomic level; their level of education; their tastes)?’


I think the readers and customers who will go to the restaurant are knowledgeable, and rich people. This is because in the review, there are so many technical terms like materials, ways to cook, and names of dishes. Especially there are a lot of names of pasta, so if we don’t know them, we have to search each. Then I think readers’ socioeconomic level may be high. They may like to eat good dishes and don’t mind so much paying money to enjoy them. Moreover they can be familiar with materials and dishes, so I think their level of education is high as well. However from the menu of this restaurant, we guess the dishes aren’t so expensive; for example we can enjoy Lasagna at $17. So the customer may be diverse.

Next one is video report.
The source is here.

"Babu Indian and Sri Lankan Cuisine Restaurant Review"



‘What is focused on in the review?’

The reviewer tends to focus on how dishes are novel and delicious, I think. The kind of dishes is Indian and Sri Lankan, so many people who watch the video may not experience. Then he emphasizes it was first time for him to eat their dishes. Moreover though the dishes aren’t so popular, their taste is so nice, he said. He cooks some dishes by himself to report the recipes. And he also asks a worker that why the shop started and what the good points of them is, because he want many people to know the interesting food restaurant.

‘Is the review neutral or partisan?’

I think the review is partisan. This is because certainly the reviewer said some dishes are a little spicy, but almost all of the time, he told us how delicious, novel, and absorbing the dishes are. Except the comment that the dishes are kind of spicy, he emphasized the price is cheap, and we can enjoy dishes every day because we can combine any menus. I think he said their advantages too much. I want to know the points which the store is worse than other restaurants and which we have to pay attention to.
