Au Temps Perdu

French pop café!! I never come to see an art exhibition in Kyoto Municipal Museum in Okazaki without peeping in this fashionable café. It is located in front of Shirakawa, a creek. Wooden red door and red window frames are very attractive in conservative ancient town of Kyoto!!! Due to its open-​air atmosphere, this tiny restaurant is always crowded with customers. I agree with that. This is because we feel as if we were in Paris, although we are in Kyoto. I love its décor and atmosphere.
It provides French-​flavored casual delis such as kitschy, ham salad, terrine, dip and the like. Cakes are very colorful and stylish like art works. I’ve never seen such sophisticated cakes in Japan. The cake I chose was lemon-​based one, which of course tasted sour sweet. It is a little pricy for lunch and afternoon tea (only for a cake set it costs 1200 yen. I don’t think it is affordable. So you have to be ready for paying). It is also recommended to take out the delis, find a place to sit down and have them under the favorable weather.
