The Best Dessert

You can find the best desserts in Parfum, a cafe/restaurant on Ninomiya Park Street.

The main menu is good too; very nice homemade salad dressing on the green salad, nice soup, good main dishes, excellent coffee.











But the dessert? HEAVENLY! :) Last time I went there the dessert plate had homemade ice-cream and fruit (as usual) and the main sweet was an almond-orange tart. I think it is really hard to get good tarts, but this was one of the best I have ever had! The base was still really crispy which is difficult. (Tart bases usually become soggy after a few hours.) We also got a small sample of another dessert for free. It looked like a mini creme brulee - the top was toffeed sugar and when you broke through the cruncy toffee, you found wonderful creamy and fluffy egg pudding underneath .....









Just be careful because if you order the special daily lunch menu for less than 1000yen, you don't get dessert. You have to order a pasta lunch or fish lunch, etc. The prices range from about 1200yen to 1500yen but it is worth it to get the dessert!

By the way, they only serve lunch and dinner so you cannot go there for afternoon tea and just get dessert and coffee.
