Matsuyama

Dōgo Bakushukan

道後麦酒館

One of the only two restaurants privileged with having Dōgo Beer on the menu, Bakushukan is to the right of Dōgo Onsen Honkan and has a warm, semi-German theme.

Tue-Sun 11:00-22:00·¥1000-2000

Goshiki Honten

五志喜本店

This restaurant is a fantastic place to experience Ehime cuisine, serving dishes such as taimeshi (fish) and goshiki soumen (五色そうめん), five-colored noodles dyed using natural ingredients: eggs, green tea, buckwheat flour, plums and shiso. Thin yet strong, these noodles make an excellent base for other regional fare.

Closed · opens 11 am·¥1600-5000

Ladky's

ラルキー

There are two locations, but this is the original. Ladky's serves up the best Indian food in town. Spice potency varies with the chef's mood, so choose wisely... or order the pudding to soothe the fire.

Closed · opens 11 am·Lunch: ¥1000-2000; Dinner: ¥1500-2500, Course: ¥2900

Nikitatsu-an

にきたつ庵

A romantic and sophisticated Japanese brasserie, and the other of the two restaurants with the honor of serving Dōgo Beer. It's next door to the brewery, in fact.

Tue-Sun 11:00-21:30·Lunch ¥1000-4000, dinner ¥3000-5000

Underground Café

One of the best kept secrets among night spots. UC has an open patio draped in the Union Jack, yet has the tastiest Mexican dishes in town. Try the quesadilla or enchilada, but don't bother with the nachos. They also serve a wide variety of highballs (¥525+), exotic beers (Sol, Pine, and Red Stripe), pasta and rice dishes (¥420+). Pictures of all dishes are available, and for ¥3000, a party of three can drink as much as they want and get a seven course meal.

Food 12:00-19:00, bar until 04:00

Matsuchika Town

まつちかタウン

Underground shopping arcade, opened in 1971.

10:00-21:00, closed 3rd Wed each month·¥300-700
