Spectacle Kitahama

We are back in one of our favorite districts in Osaka, Kitahama! Visiting Spectacle. A cafe that is easy or hard to find depending on which direction you are coming from. If you are coming from the South-West direction you will be able to spot ‘Spectacle’ standing out with its darkblue exterior with Spectacle written in big white letters at the top quite easily. But if you come from the North it will be harder to spot as the cafe is jampacked between two other buildings with the only access through a narrow alley.

Spectacle consists of four floors. The basement that is mainly used for roasting coffee. The first floor is mainly the kitchen and the cashier and the third and fourth floor are the main areas where you can enjoy your drink or meal with a nice view over the river and the Tenma district.

Artistic is probably the best way we can describe this cafe as the interior has various styles of furniture. That in combination with the art on the walls, the metal stairs and the concrete interior of the building make it feel like a contemporary art piece.

Spectacle has a varied menu with lots of tasty dishes to choose from. Coconut curry, taco rice, tarte flambee is just a small sample. They even have sweets. But we really recommend their coconut curry. Spectacle’s coconut curry is probably one of the best in Osaka. We’d love to be proven different.

The cafe throws an art/photo exhibition now and then, so check their homepage for more info.

Spectacle is really a great place to relax or hangout for lunch or for dinner.
