I am always afraid when I see a maid on the cover of any anime.  The anime “market” has been so saturated with fan service so it’s hard to find a series that isn’t just a slew of pantie shots, nose bleeds, bouncing breasts, and awkward situations.  Not to mention adding food? Food Wars (although an ok series) nearly scared me off from Restaurant to Another World, however, I gave it a shot anyway.

Western Resturant Nekoya specializes in Western and Japanese dishes, but on the 7th day of the week at midnight the doorway to the restaurant appears in another realm.  Creatures from another world are able to dine at Western Restaurant Nekoya and experience a delicacy non-existent in their world.

We meet a variety of characters with their own unique tastes and watch them experience their “magical” restaurant experience. Not only that, we experience their journey to encountering a restaurant whether it be an creature or human.

When food is consumed by the mystical patrons, they have an experience like no other – the food is always so delicious!  It’s an interesting concept introducing foreign food to another world.   But this aspect gets dull pretty fast.  Particularly with the “orgasmic” approach to eating food.  Everything is “exquisite” and fits the diners palette just so darn perfect.

The highlight of the series is learning about food dishes, following the lives of the creatures outside of the restaurant, and seeing how the magical world has influenced and impacted the restaurant.

While the series seems to have very little conflict, it’s a good watch if you’re looking for a mellow and “mature” series.
