Do you know about the restaurant in Kamakura that was remodeled from a chapel?
There is a very lovely restaurant in Kamakura that you will want to visit for special occasions like wedding anniversaries or a husband’s birthday.
It’s called L'EGLISE Kamakura.
The restaurant is a 5-minute walk from Kamakura Station, located in a street just off Komachi Street.
Surprisingly, this restaurant is a French bistro housed in a remodeled chapel that was originally a real church! ♡
I feel like this is the first time I've ever heard of a restaurant remodeled from a chapel! I wonder what kind of place it is?
I'm curious! What is the exterior and interior like?
First, there’s a sense of specialness right from the entrance. The brickwork gives off a calm, foreign atmosphere.*
And as you ascend the stairs…
You are greeted by a refreshing chapel with bright white walls surrounded by green trees! ♡
The glass walls let in sunlight, making the chapel look very bright and beautiful. ♩
Inside, both the ceiling and the walls are entirely white. ♡ There’s a kitchen at the front.
The tables seem to always be covered with wine-red tablecloths.
The food looks delicious too! ♩
The cuisine at L'EGLISE Kamakura features seasonal ingredients and looks incredibly tasty! *
You can also request a celebratory message plate! ♩
After enjoying a day in Kamakura or Enoshima, having a wedding anniversary or birthday celebration, or even a wedding celebration for family and friends here would be wonderful! ♡
You can also hold weddings here! ♡
At L'EGLISE Kamakura, you can hold wedding receptions, 1.5-parties, and after-parties in the restaurant wedding format. ♩
It seems that many couples have their wedding ceremonies at the nearby Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine!
Isn’t it amazing that you can have a wedding party in a chapel where you vow eternal love?
You can enjoy happy times with guests in a bright space filled with natural light! ♡
On sunny days, it looks like you can also have an outdoor ceremony in the garden outside the chapel.*
Be sure to visit this chapel restaurant! ♡
