Un Chat noir

Tucked just inside a building near Shimo-Igusa Station, Un Chat noir offers a calm, welcoming retreat. Its resident French bulldog, a beloved shop mascot, adds to the café's easygoing charm. Well-behaved pet dogs are permitted inside, making it a popular rest stop during neighbourhood walks.

Fragrant, Hearty Galettes

The signature buckwheat galettes stand out for their crisp, lightly browned edges and satisfyingly chewy bite. The classic galette complète brings together a sunny fried egg with soft yolk, ham or sausage, rich cheese, and butter—simple components that make for a filling meal. Set menus with salad and a drink are also available, with the option to choose authentic French cider or wine by the glass. Pairing a bubbly, crisp apple cider with a freshly griddled galette makes for a leisurely lunch that channels the spirit of a French bistro table.

From Simple Sweets to Decadent Crêpe Desserts

For an afternoon break or a sweet finish to a meal, the tender, silky sweet crêpes are well worth ordering. To appreciate the flavour of the batter itself, the sugar-and-butter crêpe highlights rich melted butter and gentle sweetness. The selection also includes bright options like lemon sugar with freshly squeezed citrus, or an orange Suzette-style crêpe with vibrant aromatic depth, giving plenty of variety to match your mood. Accompanied by freshly pulled espresso or a drink float, it rounds out an easy, indulgent pause.
