The second floor has counter seats facing an open kitchen and terrace seating, while the third floor also has table seating where projection mapping can be shown. It is a restaurant with a slightly upscale feel and a high-sense atmosphere.

Better quality than I expected! I visited because I wanted to experience what shime-parfait (after-drinks parfait) culture is like. The parfait was bigger than I expected, and each part was delicious, with jelly inside, so it was really fun to keep eating. I was also happy that it was made with fruit, which somehow felt a bit kind to my body. It was a great meal

The specialty is “zenzai (sweet red bean soup).” Zenzai is a traditional Japanese sweet made by simmering azuki beans (red beans) with sugar. People usually enjoy it warm in winter.
Here, a chilled twist on zenzai is popular. You can enjoy “ichigo zenzai (strawberry zenzai)” made with plenty of strawberries, as well as matcha flavored Japanese sweets.

It’s a restaurant with a really nice atmosphere! The signboard cat is adorable! It was still a bit chilly for the terrace seats, and the staff also recommended sitting inside, but since we had the chance, we sat on the terrace and the warmth of the coffee felt even better there! Their summer kakigori (shaved ice) seems to be popular, so I’d like to visit again in summer too. The garden was spacious and fun

・Ichigo zenzai (sweet red bean soup with strawberries)
It comes with tea and pickles. The zenzai has a generous amount of strawberry sauce packed with real strawberry pieces, along with plenty of anko (sweet red bean paste) and strawberry ice cream. It feels so luxurious! The anko also has a rich azuki bean flavor that stands up well to the strawberries. Eating the shiratama dumplings with the strawberry sauce and anko wrapped around them was pure bliss.

Of course, you can drink the milk as is, and items like affogato with coffee poured over gelato made in-house are also popular.
There are also reviews saying the mozzarella cheese is very good, and you can also enjoy lasagna with plenty of cheese. They also offer sweets for Takeout.

The "Affogato" JPY880 we got came with espresso poured over a 2-assortment gelato selection of Hokudai Gyunyu (Hokkaido University milk) and Jikasei Nama Caramel (house-made fresh caramel), making it a great value treat. Of course, we enjoyed the gelato on its own first, then poured the espresso over it halfway through lol. It was a tasty and relaxing break in the nature-rich campus setting.

The gelato and mozzarella cheese were so delicious that I was Surprising. The gelato had a very smooth texture, with the rich and mellow taste of milk. I even thought it might be better than what you get at some gelato specialty shops. It is not at the level of a cafe on a university campus, but has authentic, seriously good flavor, so I recommend it.

What’s more, the roast beef sandwich had tender meat, and the spices smelled so nice too—the pros really do make a difference〜It’s the kind of sandwich you’ll want to have with wine♡Today, instead of ordering lunch, I just had the sandwich and a cappuccino, but I was totally Manzoku! I liked the terrace seats too!

There are terrace seats too, and eating in the sun looks like it would feel great, almost like being on a hike～! For Breakfast, the order was the "Croque Monsieur with melted cheese and rich béchamel sauce (JPY780)," and the set came with hot coffee. Just look at this Croque Monsieur when it was served up—it looks great on camera, right!

I stopped by after having lunch nearby. There are many seats, and the space felt nice and roomy. It was cold On-the-Day, so no one was out on the terrace, but there were terrace seats too, so on warm days it would be nice to relax outside.

The coffee of the day I chose was a little on the bitter side. I took a big bite of the French toast, soft and fluffy all the way through, with plenty of honey poured on top. The sweetness made the slightly bitter coffee taste just right♡The salad came with leafy greens, cherry tomatoes, and bacon. Yogurt topped with granola. I enjoyed a relaxed breakfast in this lovely space♪

Window-side seats with a view over the city of Sapporo and open terrace seats that feel surrounded by greenery are especially popular. It is best to make a reservation before visiting.
They also offer a reservation-only afternoon tea set. The parfait, which can be ordered On-the-Day, is well liked for its colorful look and seasonal fruit as well.

At lunchtime, many people seem to take their time and add a dessert and drink set to their meal.
The original curry, blended with ingredients often used in cakes such as fresh cream, cacao, and apples, is also said to be delicious.

You place your order at the counter and pay first. This time we sat on the terrace, and it was a great open space with lots of greenery and a view of the cityscape of Sapporo (Sapporo) in the distance. The chicken curry we ordered had tender, fall-apart chicken and was a mildly spiced, slightly sweet curry!

I ordered the parfait lunch set. For lunch, I chose Napolitan, and for the parfait, I went with the seasonal fruit parfait. As you would expect from Romantei, the parfait was great. The ice cream and macarons were both very good. The Napolitan was also tasty. The view is amazing too. And the staff are wonderful as well. Their smiles are lovely, and they are very kind.

Courses centered on steak made with Shiretoko Wagyu, a Wagyu from Hokkaido, are also well received.

The location is just amazing✨On nice days, I recommend relaxing at a terrace seat. It seems just right for a lunch break that doubles as a change of pace between work, like having lunch while doing a bit of light work. It also looks like you can stop by just for sweets and use it as a cafe, so that sounds like a nice way to take it easy too.

I really liked this place because it lets you enjoy casual French food while staying particular about the quality of ingredients from Hokkaido.♪ I relaxed over a French meal while occasionally watching people pass by next to Akarenga Terrace. I ordered the lunch course from the lunch course with a choice of main dish (main: Ezojika (venison) roast).

The otoshi (small appetizer) was potato chips. We ordered the recommended homemade raisin butter, gyoza, Teppan-yaki octopus, and seseri (chicken neck), and they grilled the seseri for our dog! To finish, we had fried rice. The outdoor drinking area had a nice feel, and customers kept coming and going at this popular spot. The gyoza and raisin butter were especially good. They also serve lunch, so I’d like to come back again while out for a walk. The atmosphere and staff were both great.

The exterior, interior, and food were all very lovely. It opens from 8 a.m., which makes it a very convenient place to use. The staff were also very nice. Since the prices are relatively high, many of the customers also had a calm, relaxed atmosphere, so even though it is in the middle of the city, I was able to enjoy craft beer in peace.

The open terrace is also recommended for Breakfast while feeling the cool breeze in the shade of the trees, or for a relaxing cafe break.
A popular item is the “Hokudai Gyunyu no soft serve (soft serve made with Hokkaido University milk).” It uses milk from cows raised at Hokkaido University. Their feed changes with the season, so the flavor seems to change depending on the time of year.

There are also food menu items made with beef raised on the vast farm of Hokkaido Daigaku (Hokkaido University) and vegetables grown there.
A popular menu item combines beef stew made by slowly simmering the beef and Omurice, with rice wrapped in egg.

A friend brought me here on a day of heavy snow. I recommend coming not on a snowy day, but in spring or fall. You can enjoy the view through the large windows inside, and it looked like there is terrace seating on warm days too. A stylish one-plate meal! They use ingredients harvested at Hokudai (Hokkaido University), so everything is fresh! It feels like a place you would want to stop by not just for Hokudai students, but also when you are out for a walk.

A stylish cafe tucked into one corner of a shopping street. The terrace seats let you relax and watch people passing by, making it a great spot for people-watching. The outdoor seating is also comfortable for those who do not like air conditioning. Orders are called out with a bell, so the self-service style feels casual and easy to enjoy. It is just right for taking a break with a coffee in hand.

This time, I had the cheesecake set with peach tea. The teacup was cute. They were also selling it in the shop. The peach tea had a light sweetness, but it was not too sweet and tasted great. The cheesecake was moist with a slight tang. It was delicious.
