オリーブ牛のコロッケバーガーがあったので、思わず入店。ポテトとドリンクがセットで¥1200でした。味は普通に美味しかったです。テラスで食べることができるので、晴れている日は虫など気にならなければ外で食べると良さそうです。

秋の紅葉シーズンのドライブウェイをゆっくり走ってたどりついた寒霞渓の山頂。 色づく寒霞渓の上から眺める瀬戸内海の景観は絶景そのものです。 ロープウェイ乗り場の横にあるカフェで紅葉色の赤いサイダーをいただきました。 紅葉のお味はというと、ちょっと渋みと酸味を含んだキュッとくる感じでしょうか。(あくまで個人の見解です。) お初でしたが、美味しかったですよ。 絶景デッキの特等席でハンバーガーと一緒にいただきましたが、よく見るとすぐそばに「猿が出ます」との貼り紙が。 やっぱり猿は賢いんでしょう。 美味しいものに寄って来るんですね。 幸いこの日は猿チームとは遭遇なしでした。

전망대 / 케이블카 정상의 카페입니다. 햄버거와 커피 우동 프렌치프라이 가라아게를 판매하고 있습니다. 우동과 가라아게 그리고 프렌치프라이를 주문했는데, 8분정도 기다렸지만 막 조리되어 나온 따뜻한 음식을 먹을 수 있었어요. 춥고 배가 고파서 그랬는지 더욱 맛있었어요. 그리고 점원 중에 한국 분이 계십니다! 먼저 한국어로 친절하고 상냥하게 인사하고 안내해 주셔서 감사했습니다! 이런 산골짜기에서 한국분과 맛있는 음식을 만날 수 있어서 좋았습니다!
