A garden high above the city




Area:  On top of the Meitetsu department store (Floor R), Nagoya station
Restaurant:  Garden Cafe ガーデンカフェ

It was a nice end-of-summer day, the weather was perfect for eating lunch here.  I sat inside, but they kept their doors open for a nice breeze to waft in.  With the wicker seats and the surrounding plants, it really does feel like a garden cafe.  I had the mixed sandwich lunch (700円, drink and salad included).

It looks like a big sandwich but the bread is so light, it doesn't feel like you're chewing on anything but what's in between the slices.  One sandwich was egg, tomato and cucumber, the other was filled with tuna and cucumber.  If I say that there was nothing special about this sandwich, you could probably imagine how it tastes.  The coffee was a bit stale in my opinion, probably just reheated, or sitting out for a long time.

The lunch was a bit disappointing, but the bright garden atmosphere makes it worth making a visit.  Perhaps dessert and tea would be a better choice.
