We're a small (30 seats) restaurant in Nagoya specialising in South-East Asian food from Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam and also India. We keep very close to the original recipes so the taste is quite authentic, and, often, quite spicy! (We grow our own chillies.)
There's a lush sub-tropical garden and the interior is spacious so you can relax and imagine you're in Bali or Phuket. If you're feeling nostalgic for your last Asian holiday, or just want to try something different, we look forward to seeing you at Raffles'!

You can read it on the Japanese front page.)
During the coming Spring holiday, in addition to our regular Sunday and Monday, we'll be taking an extra day off on Tuesday April the 29th.
We will, however be open as normal on the public holidays of May the 3rd and 6th.
If you're in town, please drop in!
You should have no trouble finding Raffles' for the next week or so - the jasmine's really put on a show and you can smell the flowers quite a distance off.
When the flowers have finished I'd better do some pruning or it'll be totally out of control next year!
We've made an Indonesian style curry from freshly-dug bamboo shoots.
With coconut milk and some exotic herbs, it's quite good, and can only be eaten just now, when we can get the fresh bamboo shoots.
Beer has long been brewed in Belgian monasteries, and the Chimay beer that we are now stocking is a typical example, dark and strong (9%).
Sip it slowly, like wine - it's rather nice!

This is one of the most famous Thai dishes- a hot sour prawn soup.
In Japan Tom Yam Kung is often referred to as one of the "three great soups" of the world, the others being Bouillabaisse and Sharks Fin Soup, or possibly Borscht...

Simple Map to Raffles
On the Higashiyama subway line, get off at Shin Sakae Machi, and leave by exit #2 (exit 1 will take you in the opposite direction!).
At the top of the stairs turn right, pass in front of Starbucks (going South), carry on to the next big street (Hirokoji street), cross that street and carry on South to the next corner on the left.
There's a Chinese restaurant on that corner with a big sign that says Kinjo-En in Kanji (see photo below) that you can see from the subway exit. Turn left there and Raffles' is about 70m down the road on the left.
Roppa and Kinjo-En signs.

Actually Raffles' John plays in a band in Nagoya in his free time, an interesting bunch of middle-aged desperados called Daihachi Ryodan.
