Akaneiro — Restaurant in Kurashiki

Quaint little place with good food presentation and nice view from the 3rd floor. Was attracted by the high review ratings so we gave it a try. Ordered 2 set lunch, cake and coffee for us.

If you do not welcome (foreign) families then please simply put a signage at the door so we do not enter and end up feeling so unwelcomed ( and discriminated). It was not a pleasant visit.

My 1+ year old ate part of the cheesecake from them and then finished a single banana that we brought along for the baby. To be fair baby was not crying or anything, and the place had plenty of seats without a queue.

Akaneiro cafe restaurant is located on the third floor of a typical Yashiki building of Kurashiki and serves a curry lunch of either butter chicken or green curry with a small cup of salad for around ¥1,400 today.

This cafe is a hidden gem. With spacious outdoor seating which allow to look at Kurashiki Bikan Historical Area from the roof of the building.

We ordered the beef and chicken curry set, and both were delicate and also delicious. They also served with coffee and cheesecake in the end which are great.

Definitely a good place to take a break from the busy shops and streets. Staff are very friendly...
