This place is named very appropriately. French pastries created for the Japanese palate are lighter and not as sweet as the originals, and they're catching on with sweet-lovers of every persuasion.

If you're adventurous and willing to experience something cross-cultural, try Mousse Fantasy's green tea mousse cake or a spaghetti omelet from the cafe menu.
