This café restaurant is located along National Route 43, and they also have a good variety of hamburgers.
It can be used as a café, restaurant, or bar, and they can also host private parties.

They have five kinds of hamburgers, and you can add various toppings.
The sauce flavor wasn’t too strong, and the hamburger really let the flavor of the beef patty stand out.
Personally, I thought the bacon added a nice flavor, so I definitely recommend adding it as a topping.

“Esquerre”

This shop is in Yamaguchi-cho, with a bakery on the 1st floor and a café on the 2nd floor.
It’s about 30 minutes by bus from JR Nishinomiya-Najio Station, but if you have a car, driving might be the better option.

You start with the basic “burger” and add different toppings to build the hamburger you like.
The menu lists various kinds of burgers, but those are just topping examples, so you can choose whichever ingredients you like.
