Opening tomorrow, Friday, November 29, at Hankyu Nishinomiya Gardens, Saint Marc’s new concept “BAKERY RESTAURANT C(Bakery Restaurant C)” got an early visit from 
!
On the floor map, it’s here ↓
4th floor of the Main Building. Between Gyubee Soan and tonkatsu restaurant Katsukura. This used to be Uomori.
Only Kids Can Go In!?
Here’s what it looks like when you walk in! Rounded curves, wood-grain walls, warm lighting—it’s super exciting and kind of thrilling.
Wait, what is that mysterious stone oven-looking thing!?
Whoa!! Something black is watching!
I-is this… some kind of ritual…?
Or so I thought—but in the middle, there were tons of adorable breads.
And the tongs are cat paws! Look closely and they even have paw pads
Here’s the answer: it’s an area where only children can enter(elementary school age and younger only). It’s called “Kids’ Bakery.”
For the all-you-can-eat menu’s “kids’ bread,” children can go inside here and choose their own bread. (Apparently there will be a sign when it opens, so we’re excited to see how it turns out)
Kids always want to copy grown-ups and pick up the bread themselves, right?
But at a bakery, you’re worried they might drop it, so it’s hard to let them do it.
But here, you can let that dream come true!! It’s like a KidZania-style “pretend bakery customer” experience has arrived in Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi
By the way, “BAKERY RESTAURANT C” also recently opened in Shibuya and Tokyo Dome City, but this kids’ area is available only at the Nishinomiya Gardens location. So it’s really special!!!
The entrance and tables are low, so it feels like you’re stepping into a secret hideout.
There were more fun details inside the restaurant, but you’re probably curious about the food too, so let’s introduce the eats first.
What We Ate at “BAKERY RESTAURANT C”
Lunch Menu
Lunch at “BAKERY RESTAURANT C” comes with your choice of main dish + soup + salad + your choice of bread—4 items in all.
This time, out of the 10 “choice of main dish” options, we got to try a special selection of 4 dishes! We’ll also introduce some à la carte items and desserts.
For the “choice of bread,” you can pick 2 from this section.
They’re nicely sized and on the smaller side. By the way, these breads are also available for takeout.
A crisp salad. The dressing is light and refreshing.
A gentle, comforting soup. The sweetness of the vegetables slowly soaks in.
Choice of Main Dish No. 1
Roast Duck with Berry Berry Sauce À la carte ￥1,859(tax included)
This thick, plump duck has a springy bite, and it goes so well with the sweet-tart berry demi-glace.
Choice of Main Dish No. 2
Mille-Feuille Cutlet with Gorgonzola À la carte ￥1,859(tax included)
Prosciutto and cheese are layered inside, with a crisp and tender texture. The sweetness of the cheese spreads through your mouth, and kids would probably love it too. I want to eat this again!
I thought, “Is this potato?” but when I tried it, it was actually baked apple! It’s so nice that there’s even a little dessert on the plate.
Choice of Main Dish No. 3
Grilled Chicken with Tomato Kakke Sauce À la carte ￥1,419(tax included)
The white topping seems to be tomato extract turned into a foam. I’ve never seen anything like this before!!
