Sweet Home is a cozy space jointly created by Damien, a Taiwanese husband from Vancouver, Canada, and his wife Yu Xinqiao, a local from Ruifang.Although there are no extravagant plating or luxurious decorations here, there is plenty of enthusiasm and craftsmanship in sharing Canadian cuisine with everyone. The owner couple hopes to allow friends who come here to enjoy a leisurely feeling as if they are in the countryside of Canada. As a result, the interior has many vintage-style wooden furniture, which really has a strong homey feel.

After the main course, you of course have to have some dessert. Andthe dessert to try first is the “Cinnamon Roll,” which is also one of Sweet Home’s signatures. It is egg-milk vegetarian, making it a great choice for vegetarian friends.The surface of the cinnamon roll is coated with a layer of icing sugar, and spiraled throughout are, of course, the richly aromatic cinnamon layers. Tasting such a fragrant and sweet flavor at Sweet Home is truly a delightful experience.
