| - I've known about this place for a lil while because of my good friend Sara - we tried to go there once and unfortunately found that is was closed.
Well finally went back today and it was one of the loveliest places i've ever been in the city. The Plateau has many gems and this is definitely one that stands out. The Cafe is in a little building - well a house converted into a cafe !
The decoration is a mix of vintage & eclectic style - Très a mon goût ! There are many different sitting areas and all the way in the back , theres a magical garden ( yes magical!) filled with green vegetations, trees and even a little pond. A place where ( in the summer time of course) you could spend all your mornings - afternoons & evenings ( all day, errrydayyy) just reading a book, enjoying nature or delighting in philosophical convo's about life. That little magical place even lits up at night to resemble a fairy's den - or what i imagine a fairy's den would look like if it existed.
Unfortunately we didn't eat any meals there - only a drink and some ice cream. I had an iced coffee late with a hint of mint ( which i asked for) and my friend had vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup and fruits. We thoroughly enjoyed our drink and food and shall go back to sample the main meals and/or entrees.
*Bonus This place sells books for 3$ - which, being a book lover pretty much sealed the deal for me - of course i purchased a book by Albert Camus - & only that one because i didn't have any more change than 3$. Last little amazing surprise , My friend stumbled upon a game of psychology, where you get to ask random behavioural questions - the type that answer to ''what would you do if'' . My friend and i promised to gather up a group of friends and head back there just for that game.
Go there for a date, go there for lunch, go there to spend some time solo, go there with friends...but just go or you will be missing out on this beautiful little gem of a Cafe.
Santropol, i just want to say : thank you , i love you , your amazing.
