ご飯はどれも美味しいし、天気が良ければロケーションがいい外で食事もできます。 風が強ければ店内の大きなガラスの目の前のソファー席でも食べられます。 一ノ日プレートは行くたびに違うメニューでデザート付きで、信州を感じられるカフェです。 リピ確定。

20250503再訪。今年も美味しさ継続中。ごちそうさまでした。 20241104ランチ。わんこOK(デッキ席)。駐車場あり。一之瀬園地を見渡せるデッキ席があり、わんこOKにしてくれている。本日、初訪。一の日プレートを注文。これが見事に旨い。地元食材を使ったプレートで、くりたけ・くろかわ、など冬季備蓄食材(きのこ)を提供してくれている。建物の外観からして、パスタやカレー・ハンバーグかな?と思いながらの入店だったので、郷土料理的なものが並んだのには驚いた。ここに来たから食べられる料理、嬉しすぎる。

先日、車椅子ユーザーの子どもを連れて訪問させていただきました。料理はどれも美味しかったのですが、「そば茶のブラマンジェ」はなめらかで口溶けが良いため嚥下障害(通常食が食べられない)の息子も完食することができ嬉しかったです。外のテラスで一ノ瀬園地や乗鞍岳を眺めたり、涼しい風が通る店内で過ごす時間、プライスレスです!駐車場からお店へのアプローチですが、最後のところが数段石段になっているため、車椅子で登るのは難しいかと思いましたが、動画のコースを通れば大丈夫でした。快く迎えてくださったスタッフの皆様、そして同じときに訪れていたお客様、子連れで騒がしくしてしまいましたが温かく見守ってくださりありがとうございました。店内に飾られているリースや松ぼっくりのアート作品も素敵です。

We had coffee there. The original purpose was just to take a break. But it turned out the coffee was greater than expected. Sitting outside on the deck to enjoy the breeze and nice views were also definitely rewarding.

Gorgeous view, peaceful location, and definitely one of the best lunches we had during our time in Japan.
