A great stop for coffee and light lunch with plenty of choices. We are very satisfied with the food quality for both rice set and pork hotdog. The environment is also very nice with good view of the grassland.

After the visit @ the museum, we had some delicious ice coffee there. Nice view onto the serene grass land and a small lake. We also saw some wild horses from there!

Reasonably priced with perfect view. The food is above expectation considering the remoteness of the restaurant. Having meal with the view of grassland surely make your dishes taste better.

Well, just not much of choice in this remote area, but the food is not bad and great view to enjoy.

Coming from Canada, we avoided the hot dog on the menu. Instead we ordered the fried rice with pork and curry rice. Both were extremely tasty and flavourful. The hot meals were perfect on a windy cold day in May. If this wasn’t so far we would come again.

Takana fried rice & seared chashu pork is delicious! The fried rice has the charcoal flavour to it, and the chashu pork is tender and tasty. Yum!
