This is a restaurant where you can enjoy delicious Western cuisine without having to enter the city of Changbin. The restaurant itself has a very comfortable environment, decorated in warm wood tones, creating a cozy feeling. Outside is a large garden with water features, home to various animals, including geese, making it feel like a small farm (but be careful, as you might step in goose droppings, which are quite large! 🤣).
The food, especially the pasta, is highly recommended. Whether in cream sauce or pesto, it tastes very fresh and natural. The noodles are cooked to the right texture, and while I find the soup a bit on the bland side, it still has a subtle creaminess to it. I was initially skeptical about the fried platter, but it was surprisingly impressive. Although it is likely frozen food, the quality is not compromised; the meat beneath the crispy coating is very substantial, and you don't just taste the outer starch. This is really quite remarkable.
Overall, I recommend this place for family or friends to try when going out together, both for the dining environment and the food itself.
