Dining among plants in a glass house

When I first came across Eudora Station, I knew that I would love this place. From the outside looking in, the glass house and the candles burning on each table delivered a warm and romantic atmosphere to me.

Eudora is an American town in Kansas. In the 19th century, millions of people came to America with hopes and dreams of a new life. One group of German immigrants arrived. They founded their new town building houses out of limestone, native walnut and oak trees that grew so abundantly in the valleys. The town was named Eudora, which is said to be from the ancient Greek, meaning “good gift.”

“It is in this spirit that we have created Eudora Station. We hope that in Eudora, people can find comfort and an environment that is pleasing to the eyes, ears and taste.” said Jenny Xing, assistant manager of the restaurant.

The food Eudora Station offers is a mixture of western food, from appetizers, salad and soup, pasta and risotto to main courses including baked duck, steaks, and lamb leg. “The mushroom soup in Eudora is delicious and interesting. We serve it in a bread-made bowl. Many people love it for its milky smell mixed with the taste of bread.” Xing said.

The design of the restaurant is also interesting. Green plants can be seen every where. You’ll feel that you are dining in a tiny forest. The rear garden, front deck and rooftop areas are specially set up for dining, drinking or group functions.

During the summer, the rear garden and front deck are open air favorites. People can dine under big umbrellas and drink beer, enjoying their meal in the sunshine. The rooftop is open as well. When the weather turns cold in autumn and winter, the rear garden and front deck are surrounded by glass turning into glass houses. When it snows outside, it is nice to sit in the glass houses enjoying a cup of warm tea or coffee.
