Café + Tea house
Good coffee or tea and good views
This bakery is just steps away. A delightful new French bakery that makes fresh pastries daily!! Heavenly treats like their chocolate chunk cookies, cream filled brioche and cannelés that are soft on the inside, crisp and caramelized on the outside. You'll want to arrive early before they disappear.

What is Yakitori
"Yakitori" in Japanese means "Grilled Chicken".
This is a unique dish served in many Japanese "Izakaya" due to its ease of preparation. This involves grilling small pieces of meat and skewering them with "Kushi", a type of skewer while seasoning with "Tare" sauce.
