レノン - 能勢町

This is my favorite café. I always think the iconic treehouse is so lovely! When I went during the not-so-hot period before the rainy season, I felt refreshed by the singing of the warblers and the beauty of the fresh greenery. The menu is not extensive, but the Thai curry has a quite authentic taste, and the accompanying salad is crispy and delicious. The iced coffee is served with coffee frozen in milk, so it remains strong until the end, which was nice. The coffee jelly, served in a bamboo container, is cool and not too sweet, which I liked. Despite being a commoner, I always feel like I'm staying at a summer retreat when I come here (laughs).

The highlight of this restaurant is definitely the view and the cute building! Since it's not facing a main street, it's really quiet, and you can only hear the sound of the wind rustling the trees and the chirping of birds. When you sit on the terrace, everyone will unconsciously take a deep breath. The interior of the restaurant, where you can feel the warmth of the wood, is also spacious, but the terrace seats are still recommended. It can accommodate about 20 people comfortably, and the handmade deck, chairs, and cute accessories are sure to look great on Instagram. The recommended dish is the soup curry. It's not too spicy and just right for Japanese tastes, and delicious. You can also get a cake as a set! The handmade cakes, along with the tea and coffee, show that they pay attention to the ingredients. It's a great place to relax with your girlfriend on a sunny day. You can park about 10 cars, but be careful with motorcycles as the gravel might cause the stand to sink! However, the prices are a bit on the high side.

I stopped by during my tour. It is surrounded by greenery and has a very nice atmosphere. Some of the terrace seats allow smoking, while others allow pets. There was even a large dog there. The BGM on the terrace was Enya, which created a very calming atmosphere. The only menu option was curry, with choices like beef curry, Thai curry, and summer vegetable curry. The Thai curry I had was incredibly delicious.
