Cafe & Dining ZelkovA Honey Lemon Pancake
Cool texture perfect for early summer: a splendid marriage of cassata, elderflower, and honey.
Generously topped with 'cassata,' a traditional Italian ice cream cake packed with nuts and dried fruits, this dish offers a cool, melting texture and a delightful accent, perfect for early summer. The elegant blend of elderflower syrup, lemon syrup, and honey enhances the refreshing sweet and sour taste of homemade domestic lemon compote. With every bite, a floral sweetness spreads, and the fresh aftertaste of lemon vividly colors the early summer.
Light and refreshing pancake batter infused with yogurt.
To suit the season when the heat begins, the batter is luxuriously kneaded with yogurt. It achieves a moist texture with a light and refreshing aftertaste. With accents of homemade domestic lemon compote and fresh blueberry sauce, you can enjoy it refreshingly until the last bite.
Playful bee decoration.
The plate is adorned with delicate honeycomb-patterned chocolate and adorable bee motifs. The dish, blooming with edible flowers, evokes an early summer flower garden. Enjoy a heart-fluttering tea time on the beautiful terrace seats amidst the green zelkova trees of Omotesando.
