Nagoya has a long list of establishments that pride themselves on their egg-based masterpieces. One such spot is Cheval Cafe in Shirakabe, a pancake restaurant that happens to serve one of the best eggs Benedict you¡¯re likely to find in the city.
Though the cafe is spacious it¡¯s still intimate and welcoming, especially for families ¡ª they provide children¡¯s seats and a small library of kid¡¯s books to keep your tykes entertained. There are also magazines and books for the adults, as well as a window running the full length of the back wall, which looks out into a garage filled with classic cars.
There are dozens of pancakes available, the cream of the crop being the souffle-style Strawberry Benedict Pancake (?1,300), which is so delicate it melts in your mouth and so moreish you¡¯ll be missing the dish before you¡¯ve even finished it. It is a little more expensive than the other pancakes on the menu and takes a little time to prepare, but it is a treat that is well worth it. Besides fruit and cream toppings, there are also pancakes topped with more savory items, such as cheese, crispy chicken or a BLT variety.
