菓子屋横丁
菓子屋横丁」は、全長約80mの風情ある石畳の路地で、レトロな感じの菓子屋や和風スイーツ店が約20軒並び、菓子の甘い香りとノスタルジックな雰囲気が漂っている。 煎餅・カルメ焼・飴玉などの昔ながらの駄菓子や、さつまいものソフトクリームや饅頭などのスイーツを買って食べ歩くことが出来る。 菓子屋横丁の真ん中あたりにある「松陸製菓」では、約1mと驚くほど長い麸菓子を売っている。 SNS映えするし、価格も600円と高くなく、味も甘くて美味しいというのは良いのだが、持ち歩くのが面倒なので、写真を撮ったら友人と分けてすぐ食べた方が良い。
レストラン ル・ミディ
飛騨牛をフレンチテイストで味わうことが出来るレストラン。 オーナーシェフの田上氏は、フランスの三つ星レストランなどで修行を積んだ後、独立してこの店を開いた。 この店は、ステーキ肉には高い等級の飛騨牛のみを仕入れ、それを一番美味しい状態になるまで約2週間かけて熟成させている。 ステーキ以外にも、飛騨牛の肉の特性を活かしたメニューや、地元の食材を使ったメニューが豊富に揃う。 ランチ時には、セットメニューが2,000円程度からあり、ステーキセットも4,000円程度で楽しむことが出来る。 店のお洒落な内外観は、パリにあるビストロを彷彿させる感じだ。
