Center 4 Hamburgers - Takayama

We stumbled upon Center 4 restaurant by chance and what a find! The decor is creative and inviting, and we were lucky to sit in a private room that comfortably accommodated our group of six. While there was only one vegetarian sandwich on the menu, the staff happily made any of the regular burgers vegetarian by omitting the meat. I was initially hesitant about the idea of a burger in a roll, but the "white mushroom burger" exceeded my expectations. The owner and staff were incredibly friendly, even seeing us off at the door with warm farewells. It felt like leaving home after a delightful visit. I would definitely dine here again.

The restaurant is small, but we had a great view sitting at the bar where we could watch the owners, a husband and wife duo, prepare the food. My vegetarian sandwich, made without mayonnaise, was absolutely fantastic.

I was hoping for a veggie burger but unfortunately they didn't have one. However, they did offer some fantastic sandwich options. The decor was lovely and the staff was friendly and humorous. It may not have been the best experience, but it was definitely good.

I enjoyed a delicious vegetarian sandwich with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, avocado, and mustard mayo on toasted wheat bread. I also had a small side salad.

I was in the mood for vegetarian burgers, but unfortunately, all they could offer was removing the patty from a burger. The menu was a bit confusing – for example, the "Chili bean burger" turned out to be a beef patty with beans on top. Eventually, I ended up ordering the vegetarian sandwich, which was delicious. If you want a vegan option, you can ask for the sandwich without mayonnaise, paired with some chips. The atmosphere at the restaurant is pleasant, and you have to walk through a hallway to reach it. The dining area is quite small, with only about five tables available. We opted to sit at the counter.
