Description: Fall down the rabbit hole into a Wonderland of Adventure and Excitement at the Atelier Royale Cafe. Back by popular demand, Atelier Royale Cafe is here for the 2nd year at AFA11! A themed restaurant catering mainly to female clientele, Atelier Royale features well-dressed male employees dressed as butlers, welcoming the lords and ladies of the house back to their abode. This year’s cafe features a special theme – “Wonderland”, where you will be treated to a flight of fantasy into a never before dreamed land where our dedicated butlers are here to wait on you and serve you delectable delights at your fancy. Come join us and be utterly spoilt like a princess for a day or two. Only at AFA 11
Besides all the other awesome events and performances happening at the yearly anime festival, a butler cafe is supposedly the one that a fangirl would like to try at least once? Must be quite an experience to be served by attentive, bishie butlers.
There are new members to the butler cafe, probably in anticipation of the demand.
The guys in “normal” butler uniform.
The “dressed-up” versions of the butlers, each representing a character from the Alice in Wonderland story. You can go to the official page for the character bios. I think they look better without the make-up ^^;;

Bottom left: Knave of Hearts, White Rabbit, March Hare.
Except for the Mad Hatter butler who you can’t really tell which is the dressed up character at first glance lol~ But yeah, its the left picture.

@sigma: (*o*) still waiting for some kind soul to share the piccys….
i went to AFA, but not to the Butler Cafe.
Took lots of photos! Too much cosplays fun XD
did you went to the fortune-teller booth as well? it’s fun too!
@Mizuki: no… I couldn’t go (ToT) What’s the fortune teller booth about? XD
I went to AFA11 but didn’t go to the Butler Cafe. I already went last year. I did enjoy their cake but yea…for my money’s worth… ._.
@Kisa: :D Ooo~ how was the event? Did you have fun?
Yeah, its not cheap. I heard that they increased the price slightly this year.
And… your artworks are beautiful XDD
It was alright. Though I was alone when my teacher and friends left =_= I discovered my new love for nendoroids so it was worth it xD
I’ll go to the Moe Moe Kyun Cafe next year if possible :3
And thank you x3
@Kisa: OH NO! You’re going to join us on the slippery road of figure collecting… Welcome to the Dark Side~~~ soshite~ Goodbye $$$ XDD
Must… Go… But… I… Live… In… The… Wrong… Continent
@Asamisa: Does your area have similar conventions? :O
@ponytale Yes, actually. All the time XD mostly maids, in the lollipop events we even had hosts once.
But you know, I want to try a real one, in Japan xD.
@Asamisa: Me too~ since butler cafes originated in Japan after all.
@ponytale yeah XDDDD. Japanese girls look for foreigner butlers, and foreigner girls look for japanese butlers XDDDDDDDDDDD.
@Asamisa: Yeah I’ve read that there are cafes which have caucasian butlers in Japan too :D
@asamisa
true!
if i were served by a “foreign” butler i’ll probably be like
°///°
but if i were served by a japanese butler then…

*kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa*
inner fangirl going wild
Aww, to bad that I live in Europe :/ I would like to go~
@Sug: There are similar anime conventions in Europe right? Have you gone to any of them?
Yeah, at least I’ve been to German ones. But only one of them has a “host cafe”, and the hosts are not my type at all :/
@Sug: I find that host clubs feel rather sleazy D: but that’s not to say I’m not curious about them ^^;;
Butler cafes seem a lot more fun in a much wholesome way lol~
Well, it seems to be like a mix of butler and host cafe. I think they stay at your table for a longer period of time and try to entertain you with conversation, card games etc.
I’ve been in a host club in Japan once (we went in a group of 6 girls, of whom only 2 could speak Japanese pretty well), it was quite amusing :D
@Sug: sounds like a good mix of both minus the sleazy overtones? I get that vibe whenever I see those host clubs ads lol.
Ah~ must have been an interesting experience xD would u go again?
oh mai… moe~<3
i got shocked to see the mad hatter, i was like "eeeeh, isn't that yutakis" then i checked the name, it's him XD
i read his blog and he's so cool..
wish i can visit a butler cafe someday ╮(─▽─)╭
@mai-chan: Yep it’s Yutaki. He really good at self-photography~ and definitely is the most photogenic and sexy of the butlers in all the photos posted for the butler cafe.
I’m sure you can! :D
I wanna goo! But I can’t ;__; It’s on my birthday too uwa.
@Jess: Happy birthday! XD may it be extra special! Aww hopefully u can attend the event next time!
Is Alice supposed to be the blond guy on the right?
@Mayon: Oops~ I missed out the Mouse butler ^^;; He is supposed to be the Nov Mouse. The patrons are the Alices :D
Aww okay~! Thanks!
