Hidden Garden Cafe: Your Private Corner in the Heart of the Metropolis

ilovewintergem (65)in #engrave • 3 years ago (edited)

It's been 2 years since I've last travelled anywhere outside of the city, mostly because of the travel restrictions that were imposed once the pandemic started ~~and never ended~~, but now that it has somehow become lenient enough (like the calm before the storm), I've finally decided to sit back and enjoy some cityscapes, wherein I finally got to visit this hidden cafe:

I initially remembered this part of the city to be a no-go as a child and up till my college years, but lo and behold our soon-to-be outgoing city mayor included this 'once parking lot dump' into one of his many beautification projects:

So we now have a clear view of the Postal Office right beyond that big fountain and a usable underpass at the end of this hidden garden situated between two overpasses, complete with its very own Hidden Garden Cafe!

The menu was a bit limited when it comes to food-- they could try more sandwiches (grilled cheese & chips on the side?) --as I could make a better tasting carbonara than theirs, though thumbs up for the yummy strawberry muffin!

All in all, I consider this place a safe hangout, despite solo-eating al fresco style, since there are security personnel rounding about. Making the overall ambiance of the place relaxing, like having a private corner in the heart of the Metro.
