[Tenjin One Building Lunch] A treat! Top-notch Western cuisine supervised by a famous chef (Fukuoka)

Hello. I'm Shou Fujita, a gourmet writer who likes to eat Western food on special occasions.

This time, we will introduce a noteworthy authentic restaurant opened by one of Fukuoka's leading food service companies in ONE FUKUOKA BLDG. (commonly known as One Building).

THE CONTINENTAL ROYAL & Goh, a new Western restaurant where tradition meets innovation (One Building, Tenjin, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City)

"THE CONTINENTAL ROYAL & Goh" opened on the first floor of One Building in April 2025.

This is a new bistronomy-style restaurant run by the Royal Group (commonly known as Royal), which has supported Japan's dining out culture, where you can enjoy sophisticated Western cuisine in a casual atmosphere.

The roots of "THE Continental Royal & Goh" lie in the "Royal Fukuoka Building Store," which opened in the "Fukuoka Building (commonly known as Fuku Building)" in 1962. The store was later renamed "Continental Royal" and operated until 2000.

It then moved to the Daimaru Fukuoka Tenjin store in 2006, where it continued to be a popular authentic restaurant under the name Continental Cafe Royal until it closed in February 2024.

Continuing the legacy of Continental Cafe Royal, THE CONTINENTAL ROYAL & Goh has been revived in One Building, the former site of the Fuku Building.

What's noteworthy is the gourmet experience that can only be enjoyed here, supervised by Chef Fukuyama Tsuyoshi, a leader in the world of French cuisine in Fukuoka who has worked at numerous famous restaurants, including the fine dining restaurant Goh in Hakata Ward.

From the main course to the sauce, you can enjoy a dish that combines the flavors Royal has cultivated over the years with Chef Fukuyama's innovative sensibilities, creating a blend of tradition and innovation.

A dignified dining space with a timeless brilliance

The interior of the store has a classic yet modern design, with deep red velvet sofas adding a touch of elegance.

In addition to table seating, there are also box-type sofa seats, open terrace seats, counter seats overlooking the open kitchen, and even a stand corner where you can drop in casually, creating a high-quality and comfortable dining space that suits any occasion.

The crystal lighting used throughout the restaurant and the counter in front of the kitchen feature reused chandeliers from the Continental Cafe Royal era.

The brilliance of yesteryear blended into the modern design adds elegance and a sense of story to the space.

A varied lunch menu that showcases Chef Fukuyama's sensibility

During lunchtime until 3:00 p.m., you can order from six different lunch menus, including a la carte and prefix courses.

The menu offers a full taste of Chef Fukuyama's signature dishes, including the "Royal & Goh Curry Lunch" (1,800 yen / includes salad and drink), which combines Royal's traditional beef Java curry with Chef Fukuyama's spiced crab curry, and the "Chef's Plate Lunch" (3,000 yen / includes rice or bread and drink), which features grilled Japanese Black beef fillet and crab cream croquettes in bisque sauce.

The bar also offers a wide selection of alcoholic beverages, including beer and wine, and the wide variety of craft beers from all over Kyushu is a new initiative not available at Royal Bars before.

The display case next to the bar counter is lined with small plates that go perfectly with drinks, so you can enjoy a quick snack and drink in the afternoon.

Tasting the "Combination Dish Lunch" featuring three classic Western dishes!

On this day, I ordered the "Combination Dish Lunch" (2,300 yen / includes rice or bread and a drink), which featured hamburger steak, fried shrimp, and creamy crab croquette.

The hamburger steak is made with a luxurious blend of carefully selected Japanese Black Beef and Black Pork.

When you cut it, clear juices flow out from the soft cut surface, and when you put it in your mouth, the sweetness and juicy flavor of the meat fills your mouth.

The richly flavored "Chasseur Sauce," made with a demi-glace base and added mushrooms and fruit liquor, also shows the attention to detail that only Royal can offer.

The fried shrimp, which was created after much trial and error, has a strong presence with its extra-thick shrimp and crispy batter.

The accompanying tartar sauce has a mild acidity and a light texture, which enhances the rich flavor of the fried shrimp.

The rich and creamy crab cream croquette has an exceptional taste that will bring a smile to your face.

The bean paste that melts from the batter is packed with the rich flavor and refined sweetness of crab, making every bite a luxurious experience.

The "Combination Dish Lunch" is a must-try for Western food lovers, as it takes three classic Western dishes and elevates them to a new level of flavor.

"THE Continental Royal & Goh" inherits the trust that Royal has built, while offering a new Western dining experience that is in tune with the times.
