Reservations are highly recommended as this is a popular spot. Lunch dishes range from around ¥1600 to ¥2500, and with drinks, expect to spend around ¥3000. The price reflects the location. The ¥2000 beef cheeseburger and fries set was a bit smaller than a McDonald's burger, but delicious. The fries were of a similar quality to those found at family restaurants. As this is a popular spot for foreign tourists, the prices are likely considered standard for them. While there are other stylish restaurants in the small streets off Omotesando, this one is located right on Omotesando. If you prioritize location and atmosphere, this might be a good choice. However, the food alone is on the pricey side.
Located right outside Meiji Jingu-mae Station's A5 exit, I made a reservation and went. The atmosphere was nice, but I ordered a brunch plus a single iced coffee, and even though I ordered it at the regular price, it was the same iced coffee as the people who ordered the set, which was a bit disappointing. The food was good, but the service was average. The atmosphere was nice, but it was a bit noisy, and the two-person table was a bit cramped. There was a place to put luggage. The location is excellent.
The staff were all very kind and didn't seem bothered by having children around. While there might not be many options for kids to eat a full meal, it's a great place for light snacks or treats. I prefer fluffy pancakes, so the texture wasn't my favorite, but everything else was delicious! The prices are a bit high, but it seems to attract a good crowd, making it a pleasant place to spend time.
I had the avocado egg toast. It was more filling than it looked and tasted good. Next time I visit, I'd like to try their famous pancakes. I also had their homemade ginger lemonade (with brown sugar flavor?). It had a strong carbonation and just the right amount of sweetness.
The shrimp lemon cream pasta was delicious, with a perfect balance of creamy and lemony flavors. The restaurant has a stylish and sophisticated ambiance. Since it was a weekday lunch, I was able to walk in without a reservation. There are plenty of tables that can accommodate groups of 5-6 people, and the seating is spacious.
