So they have some rules for the restaurant: has to order at least one drink per person plus the sitting charge is 500 yen per person as well, I am leaving review for the people rethink if they should come. The food is good tho!

We enjoyed our spicy chicken, steak and salad. The izakaya is small - 14 seats in total, 3 tables and four counter seats - so getting a table could be a challenge. Our steak was well cooked and made of Hokkaido Beef. Drinks are relatively inexpensive. Service is friendly.

Went to Mel's yesterday. A quiet American-Japanese fusion restaurant, specialising in Hambagu. I ordered the Hambagu Demi-glace and Tempura Hokkaido Potatoes and found it amazingly tasty and filling. The interior decor is great, very Americana atmosphere. The service was great too, two friendly and lovely people who were attentive and even helped me with my poor Japanese! Thank you for having us.

We arrived late into Sapporo with limited options for food left to us - but feel lucky that this led us to Mel’s!! Great food, really great food actually! We had the pickled celery, potato tempura and pork with miso - with rice and salad sides. All absolutely delicious! Perfect way to start the trip in Sapporo

Crispy fish n chips with fresh flakey cod, cayenne hot sausage and a beer with Hank Williams on the juke box... Where am I exactly??? How fun. Great eats after your bar run, Sapporo!
