"Hello! I'm Harapecchan, always hungry! ————Store Details———————————— Store Name: HAUTE COTURE CAFE Nearest Station: 2-minute walk from Omotesando Station Address: 〒107-0061 3-9-19 Kita-Aoyama, Minato-ku, Tokyo Omotesando 391 ANNEX 2F Business Hours: 11:00 AM - 8:30 PM Closed: None Budget: ¥6,000 - ¥7,000 ———————————————————— This time, I went to 'HAUTE COTURE CAFE', a 2-minute walk from Omotesando Station, where you can enjoy a captivating afternoon tea with floral interior and tableware that change with the seasons! 'HAUTE COTURE CAFE' originally had a store in Nakameguro, and this is their first branch in Omotesando. Like the Nakameguro store, the menu, floral interior, and tableware change with the seasons, so you can enjoy a completely different atmosphere every time you visit. Each visit offers its own unique charm! From September 5th to November 11th, they are holding an 'Antique Rose Afternoon Tea' featuring antique roses, and the interior was decorated with roses. Every corner felt like stepping into a painting, and I was constantly amazed. The adult cuteness that suits the Omotesando location and the cuteness of the Nakameguro store combined to create a world unique to this haute couture cafe. The staff were very attentive and had beautiful smiles, making you feel like a princess. Their service was truly charming. The drinks, coffee and tea, are refillable, so you can enjoy your favorite drinks along with the lovely afternoon tea. It's pure bliss! The course I ordered this time: 'Antique Rose Afternoon Tea with Rose Berry Soda' 【Rose Strawberry Millefeuille Parfait】 This parfait is made to look like a large rose with plenty of strawberries. It was a luxurious millefeuille parfait with vanilla ice cream, crispy pie, and confiture. From the bottom, it was layered with strawberry jelly, crème pâtissière, pie, strawberry confiture, vanilla chantilly, strawberries, vanilla bean vanilla ice cream, and white chocolate. It was a parfait packed with deliciousness, a true happiness experience! 【3-Berry Fromage】 【Verine Rose】 【Mousse Caramel au Pomme】 【Strawberry Macaron with Raspberry and Mascarpone Cream】 【Strawberry Ganache Chocolate】 【Snow Crab and Potato Mousse】 【Pear, Prosciutto, Walnut, and Grana Padano Tartine】 【Two-Layered Glass Soup with Turnip and Chicken Soboro】 【Salmon Fillet and Scallop with Butter Cheese Sauce】 【White Beef Stroganoff】 【Free Drink】 Earl Grey (ice/hot) Darjeeling (ice/hot) Apple Rooibos (ice/hot) Rose Tea (ice/hot) Apple Vanilla Latte (ice) Coffee (Ice/Hot) Be sure to visit HAUTE COTURE CAFE and fully enjoy the afternoon tea that changes with the seasons!

"An Italian restaurant in Minami Aoyama. It's located within a 5-minute walk from Omotesando Station. It was awarded as one of the Top 100 Italian Restaurants in 2023. I went there around 12:30 pm on a Saturday, and it was about 70% full. The interior is dimly lit, creating a moody atmosphere. It has a luxurious feel with a black color scheme. Being in the basement, it felt like dinner even though it was lunch. I had the ¥7,150 lunch course. The course menu is as follows: ✔︎ Warm Appetizer ① The first dish was a fritter made with fresh porcini mushrooms from Italy. It was topped with cheese and acorn-fed ham. It was mind-blowing how the porcini mushrooms could achieve such a fluffy, potato-like texture (*ﾟ▽ﾟ*). ✔︎ Warm Appetizer ② Grilled horse mackerel with binchotan charcoal. The horse mackerel was sourced from Odawara Fishing Port. The salty flavor and aroma of the crispy skin were excellent. It was served with grilled lotus root. There was kuzu-ko (sweet potato starch) hidden in the holes of the lotus root, adding a chewy texture. The sauce was a beurre blanc sauce with capers. Then bread arrived. Ciabatta and rosemary focaccia. ✔︎ Pasta Spaghetti with mussels and nine-leaf leeks. The mussels were from Mont Saint-Michel. It was a simple and delicious Japanese-style dish. I devoured it in no time (●´∀｀●). ✔︎ Main Dish The main dish was boneless roast veal. It was from New Zealand. It was springy and delicious ✨. The sauce was made with meat broth and butter. It was sprinkled with girolle mushrooms. ✔︎ Dessert, Coffee Homemade Japanese chestnut Mont Blanc. The aroma of rum and candied chestnut skin gave it a bitter and sophisticated taste. It had vanilla gelato inside. I chose coffee for my drink. It was a very satisfying lunch. Both the atmosphere and the quality of the food made it feel like a dinner. A luxurious Italian restaurant. Thank you for the meal(^^)!"

"I visited this restaurant for my partner's birthday. I made a reservation in advance for a birthday plate, which cost 1,000 yen. Gabi was our server, and she was incredibly thoughtful and attentive, which impressed me greatly. The birthday surprise song was in Portuguese, and we were serenaded by 5-6 staff members. They also took a picture of us with the plate and printed it out for us on the spot! It's rare to find places that offer instant photo prints these days, so I was very happy. The meat was delicious, of course! The sirloin and grilled pineapple were absolutely amazing. Despite this being my first visit, I received incredibly heartfelt hospitality. I will definitely be coming back to this restaurant whenever I want to enjoy churrasco! "
