The sheer quality of each meal is astounding – most meals look like something straight out of a Ghibli film!  The cafe has a variety of options on the menu, but we came specifically to try out their French galettes. A galette might look like a light meal, but we can tell you from experience that it’s far more filling than it appears. The cafe uses only the finest of ingredients, and the owners prepare each meal with a great deal of love and care.

“Ghibli-lovers will get dreamy-eyed from the moment they walk in.”

One bite of the smoked salmon, cheese, and vegetable galette will give you a burst of colorful flavors that tantalizes your tastebuds. The subtle touch of sweetness from the cherries gives it that little something that you never knew you needed but now simply can’t do without!

But what’s a delectable French meal without any desserts? If you love creme brulee or Japanese pudding, then their creamy coconut milk pudding is a unique twist of flavors that you’re sure to enjoy. It’s very similar to the Filipino dessert “Leche Flan”, but with a coconut milk twist – great for those who can’t consume a lot of milk but still want to indulge.  

We recommend bringing along a book to read or just making time to sit back and relax as you take in all that nature has to offer.
