Cafe 2001
It was opened by British chef Giles Clark and Kino Kaetsu in Feb 2025 at the backside of YESS restaurant. It is relatively a new cafe but attracted the attention of visitors due to its beautiful Victorian architecture and unique blend of European and Japanese cuisine.
I really enjoyed being there and I would recommend trying the coffee, fruit tart and beverages here. Moreover, the Japanese sandwiches and eggs along with mayonnaise and tuna are also the best. The classical music played in the background adds to the charm as well.
Night time is the best to visit cafe 2001 because at night they serve pan-fried gyoza, oysters and hotdogs as well.
