Lucky Pierrot Burger Restaurant
Hakodate's top burger chain has 17 branches around the city. It's one of the most popular home grown brands around serving more than a million customers a year. Their Chinese-style chicken burger is a must for anyone visiting Hakodate for the first time.

Uni Murakami (函館うに むらかみ)
Die-hard uni fans would know Uni Murakami by heart. The sea urchin specialty restaurant out of Hakodate has long been a staple for hearty sea urchin dishes. House specialties include their uni don, sea urchin gratin and congee with fresh sea urchin. Reservations are available for dinner, otherwise expect huge lineups for their first-come-first-serve lunch service.

L'oiseau par Matsunaga
Classy French restaurants with a focus on seasonal Japanese ingredients don't exactly grow on trees here in Hakodate. L'oiseau par Matsunaga is easily the best place out there for a nice contemporary French meal thanks to Chef Kazuyuki Matsunaga and Madam Matsunaga's husband and wife team. The cozy fine-dining restaurant was deservingly awarded a Michelin star back in 2017.

Petite Merveille
Founded in 1995 by owner-patissier Kaoru Endo (遠藤薫), Petite Merveille is one of the biggest names coming out of Hokkaido when it comes to French pastries. Powered by the silky smooth and rich flavored Hokkaido milk, the Japanese inspired French pastry shop offers a wide variety of desserts highlighted by their signature "Melcheese”, a bite-sized cheese soufflé (or cheesecake).

Nibankan Shokudo (函館朝市二番館食堂)
Eating like a local is a must for tourists in Hakodate and there’s no better place to do so than Nibankan Shokudo. Conveniently situated on the mezzanine floor of the Hakodate Morning Market, Nibankan Shokudo offers some of the freshest sashimi rice bowls at some of the most affordable prices. Treat yourself to a nice sea urchin rice bowl as early as 7AM local time. You won't regret waking up early!

Ajisai Ramen (味彩拉麵)
Good ramen shops are never in short supply in Hakodate but they are mostly scattered outside the city center, which is why I find Ajisai Ramen (味彩拉麵) particularly attractive. With a couple of branches near the city’s top tourist attractions (including one next to Goryokaku Park 五稜郭公園), Ajisai casts a wide net with their menu offering a good selection of miso, shio (salt) and shoyu (soy sauce) based ramen. But for those interested in experiencing Hakodate’s rich history of shio ramen, Ajisai’s salt based ramen simply should not be missed.

Hakodate Beer Hall (函館ビヤホール)
Situated behind the brick walls of Kanemori Red Brick Warehouse, Hakodate Beer Hall is a lively restaurant serving classic German food with a twist (some Japanese dishes as well). It's the perfect place to enjoy a local beer originally brewed in Hakodate in one of the most historic and unique setting of the city (Think rustic-meets-industrial).

Milkissimo
Milkissimo is a Hakodate-based gelateria known for its colorful gelato and exotic flavors. The secret to their rich and intensely flavored gelato is none other than their locally sourced high-quality ingredients and of course, Hokkaido milk! If you have just enough time for one scoop of gelato, make sure it's from Milkissimo. They have more than 20 seasonal flavors to choose from and you can't go wrong by picking one of their most popular flavors including cherry blossom, sweet potato and pumpkin.

Yamakawa Bokujyo (山川牧場)
Technically not in the city of Hakodate, Yamakawa Bokujyo (山川牧場) is a century-old dairy product supplier in Onuma who's really famous for their rich flavored milk, soft serve and milkshake. While their creamy natural milk can be found everywhere in Hakodate from grocery stores to supermarkets, their hugely popular soft serve and milkshakes can only be found at their farm out of Onuma. Located just a stone’s throw from Onuma Park (大沼定國公園), you won’t miss it driving down from Sapporo to Hakodate even without a GPS.
