Conte de Tulear
Conte de Tulear is currently the hottest brunch cafe on Instagram. The reason why it is popular among people is the unique vibe of the terrace, which is decorated like a garden. Don't worry if it's too hot or cold, there are indoor seats available. The indoor seats also have good sunlight, so you can take pretty pictures anywhere.
The signature dishes here are kimchi fried rice, brioche egg waffle & crispy bacon. The spicy kimchi fried rice with soft scrambled eggs and avocado on top is delicious for everyone. The brioche egg waffle is recommended as a dessert menu because of the perfect combination of salty bacon and sweet waffle sauce. The scrambled egg on the waffle is also very tasty with cheese in it. And it is super soft, even just eating the egg alone is delicious.
This is a brunch restaurant that is always filled with people due to its beautiful terrace atmosphere. If you go when the weather is nice, you can enjoy the brunch while admiring the fresh garden! The indoor seating also has a beautiful atmosphere, so you can enjoy the refreshing vibe no matter where you sit.
