Very stylish place with great food. The Sri Lankan curry was amazing for lunch. Would like to come back for dinner maybe at the end of the trip. Good place to unwind.

口コミの良さとお料理に興味があり昨日8名でお伺いしました。本来であれば貸切にする人数でもなかったのかもしれませんが、店主さんのご好意により貸切にしてくださりました。そのため、気心知れた仲間と和気藹々新年会を楽しめました。 今回はお料理をお任せで頼んだのですが、私は初めて口にする料理がほとんどでしたが、いろんな国のお料理の提供がどれもがとても美味しく感動です! 他にもスリランカカレー????????など気になるメニューがありますので次回のお楽しみにします

Beautiful charming cafe, welcoming and friendly owner, tasty drinks, and the food is absolutely fantastic. Perfect for a romantic date, or relaxing with a coffee and a book. PS - the service water is positively delightful (you'll just have to try it!).

店主の思い、大切にしていることがそこかしこに感じられる、素敵なカフェです。お料理やスイーツがいつもヘルシーで美味しいことはもちろん、温かみのある居心地のよい空間は、まるで自宅のリビングのよう。時々貸切で開催しているイベントも楽しいです。私は先日のポーランド料理のイベントに伺いました。写真はそのときのものです。 誰に対してもオープンで、人と人とのつながりを大切になさっていることが伝わってきます。いつもありがとうございます。

A very memorable experience here! The owner (I think) was super nice, and so were the other patrons who kept smiling at our baby. Good vibes! As for the food, it's unique and delicious. You can order anything and it will be good. As an added bonus, they have my favorite beer in the world, which I can't remember the name of, but the one from Kawagoe with sweet potato. Will definitely go back. Thank you! ごちそうさまでした!

雰囲気が良くて、優しくて美味しい料理が食べられます! ときわ台駅南口から右に歩いて約5分、可愛い外観のカフェが現れます。 内装も可愛くて、居心地が良いです。 お水はボトルウォーターでキウイやリンゴなどのフルーツが漬けてあって美味しい! ドリンクはノンカフェインやノンアルコールもあります。 どのお料理も美味しくてペロリでしたが、初めて食べたスリランカカレー、ベジタリアンの方もいただけるとのことで、味はどうなのか想像がつきませんでしたが、とても美味しい! 味がしっかりしてるのにあっさりしていて、驚きでした。 他の品は言うまでもなく食べやすく、美味しかったです。お酒がよく進みます。 カタラーナはスプーンで上のブリュレ部分を割って食べる甘いスイーツ、ティラミスはビターさもあって甘いものが苦手な方もお好きだと思います。
