[GULI GULI] is a cafe/restaurant that is like a hideaway, where you can enjoy meals and coffee time in a wonderful place surrounded by greenery even though it is in the city, making you feel like you have wandered into a fairy tale world! The location is between Ikeda Station and Ishibashi-Hakadai-mae Station on the Hankyu Takarazuka Main Line. From "Osaka Toyopet Ikeda store" along National Route 176 The store is located in a slightly residential area. The store has its own parking lot, with space for 5 cars in the 1st parking lot and 3 spaces in the 2nd parking lot. Despite being in the middle of the city with easy access, you will be greeted by a stylish gate that isolates you from the hustle and bustle. When you arrive at the entrance gate, the view on the other side is as if you were in a small forest park. The garden created by ``Araki Landscaping Sekkei'' is based on the theme of ``Yakushima's moss forest,'' and includes rare Yakushima plants and difficult-to-manage moss, as well as a small river running through it. I can hear a very soothing sound. The open environment, surrounded by greenery and the scent of nature, will make you forget that you are in the middle of the city. Araki Landscape Design is a long-established landscaping company that has designed gardens not only in Japan, but also in Germany, Cuba, and the United States, including the Japanese garden at the Osaka Expo and the Rihga Royal Hotel garden in Nakanoshima! By building a cafe in their company building, such a company seems to be aiming to increase opportunities for people to see the gardens they create, and to make them feel more familiar with the gardens! Isn't it wonderful? As you go deeper into the garden, you will find the entrance to the cafe at the bottom of the stairs on your right. The interior of the restaurant has subdued lighting, walls made of hand-laid stones from Yakushima, and plenty of warmth from wood, making you feel like you're in a wonderful villa while enjoying your meal. can.

It may vary depending on the season, but you can feel that the ingredients are carefully selected, and it is a very satisfying dish that combines both appearance and taste. You can see the careful work done in the salads and soups. The main dish, roast pork from Kagoshima Prefecture, is cut with a knife. The sauce is a homemade sauce made by simmering vegetables and red wine, and it goes perfectly with the roast pork, which is soft and has just the right texture. Lunch isn't the only thing that's popular! Desserts are all delicious sweets that are absolutely essential, so we recommend ordering a dessert set. When you're busy with work and housework, your shoulders tend to be strained all the time. If you're tired of such a daily routine, why not take a break from your daily routine and enjoy lunch or tea time at a cafe/restaurant that feels like a hideaway in the forest? If there is space, it is OK to go without a reservation, but since it is a popular restaurant, we recommend making a reservation before visiting. Thank you for the meal＼(^o^)／
