First of all. My review is purely based on the fact that this place is dead empty when I went in.

Very much so a hidden gem when it comes to getting your Japanese savoury pancake fix. Foodwise if you close your eyes... you are in Japan. Very authentic. Very friendly staff and happy to accomodate your needs, in terms of customisation.

Only criticism I can make if any is the place doesn’t look that japanese at all, since at daytime it is marketed as a cafe.

Free wifi too.

I don't usually share with the world this kind of things but due to my great satisfaction today I will do an exception.

Yesterday I went for the second time with my wife and daughter at Refn Courtyard Cafe for a late breakfast. Unfortunately I didn't find the cake that I tried the first time so I decided to give a go to the Pulled Pork and the girls took the Eggs Benedict with Smoked Salmon.

Well, the Pulled Pork was really delicious, with an amazing sauce and small other ingredients to balance the taste on my palate. It was so delicious that once at home I didn't want to drink for a while to avoid to get rid of the nice flavour in my mouth.

The Eggs Benedict where great as well, we tried it already some time in other places and this is the best one we had until now! Everyone was really satisfied about the quality of the meal.

The atmosphere of the backyard was quite relaxing with the simplicity of its green decorations. That's a really good place where to go to relax for a cup of tea or coffee.

The cafe is like an unexpected gift. In my life I have been in some expensive restaurants eating small portion of poor quality food, where they sell you just the name. Discover a cafe like this that serves you great quality food for an affordable price is really amazing.

It was a pity leaving the place and see a couple of customers walking in and ask for the usual hamburger and chips while they could just order some delicious food.

If you are nearby, give it a go. It is totally worth! :-)
