6月に岡寺の帰りにランチで寄らせてもらいました。 インスタでフォローしてて気になっていたお店で予約をして行きました。 予約で満席で入れない人も居たので予約して行って正解でした。 ランチは2種類あって私はキッシュの方を頂きました。お野菜たっぷりのワンプレートで色々少しずつ食べたい私は大満足でした。 天井も高くゆったりした空間で場所柄か年齢層も高めなので落ち着いて食事できました。

Very popular restaurant in this small town at walking distance from the station. Completely justified in view of the excellent menu offer of fresh food and proposed at reasonable price. The local is original and simple. Service is welcoming and friendly.

5/24 けんごし塚古墳から飛鳥駅までの帰り道に見つけたお店。11:00前にふらっと入ったら、満席だったけれど12:00までなら一席用意してくださいました。 ランチメニューは2種類 キッシュを選択。キッシュはもちろんお野菜のグリルも美味しい。 パンも⭕ パンは近くのお店のものなのかな?販売もしてました。 飛鳥にこんなレベル高いお店があるとはビックリ。満席なのも頷けます。 たまたま入れたけど、次回からは予約していきます。 お店のオーナー? 店員さん達も感じがよくサービスしてくれました。 ケーキも美味しそうでしたよ。

Food was so good. Too bad I had to finish in 5 minutes to catch the train. Staff were so kind and understanding of our lack of Japanese and allowed us to do take out as well. Thanks!

Another hidden gem of Asuka! Delicious healthy dishes filled with local veggies and a nice choice of cakes. The place is a restored kominka, tables and decor are made from recycled wood, a warm and stylish atmosphere!
