René had a great love of haute cuisine, which is why she saved all her money, and then, with hard work and passion, built the café at the edge of the forest. Vromopodis, the café’s unusual waiter, welcomes the first customer, a monster with repulsive habits, for whom Renée agrees to prepare bizarre dishes instead of her refined menu. A wildly original and irresistibly illustrated book, full of mythical creatures, monstrous meals and a very unusual duo!
