Tokyo has many nice breakfast spots, such as Fuglen Asakusa, in a nice spot near the Senso-Ji temple and the shopping district of Asakusa. Here you can eat delicious waffles, but also the tastiest fresh pastries (chocolate croissant, hello!). On the Sumida, on the edge of Asakusa, you will find Suke6 DinerHere you can order avocado toast, French toast, and chicken pitas for a savory craving. The interior is also mouthwatering, but be on time as there can sometimes be a queue. Coffee and cake? Then you have to Kielo coffee really save

ARC, another institution in the city. During the day, it is a relaxed coffee shop: sofas, wooden tables, just right for a latte. In the evening, ARC shifts into night café mode, with wine and cocktails on the menu. Open until 23:00 PM: ideal if you want to go somewhere after dinner but don't feel like dealing with the club crowds of Shibuya.

Onibus en Blue bottle You're going to hear this more often. Small-scale local chains, which we normally aren't fans of, but are making an exception for now. Because: they are simply always good and in nice (!) locations. Onibus Nakageguro 3 Chrome is a very popular location (TikTok did it) and we get that. Blue bottle in Daikan-yama deserves a pin too.

Also open for lunch on weekends: wine shop & bar Timsum. Dim sum with a modern twist, just like the interior. Also highly recommended for natural wine lovers.

We aren't always into viral TikTok trends, but sometimes you have to. Like the viral hamburger on a steaming plate with cheese sauce. You eat that at American Diner AndraWhy lunch? First of all, it is a bit quieter, and besides, you still have the whole afternoon to process this heavy meal.

Ramen for a few euros tipped by Michelin? It is possible in Tokyo. For that, you go to Shimokatasawa, to be precise to Chūkasoba Kotetsu in perhaps the cutest little street of all (full of vintage shops, but that's beside the point). Make sure to bring cash, because you throw the yen into a machine that issues receipts you hand in, and your chosen ramen is freshly prepared. Craving (sourdough) pizza? Go to Savoy of Sabasu, Both are delicious and both are household names, so making a reservation is smart.

In the mood for fine dining? Make a reservation at UKIYOUpon arrival, you step into a cave-like space with soft carpeting, where you find yourself, hop: immediately in another reality. Chef Toshi Akama grills seasonal ingredients over charcoal and combines them with spices from around the world. Sommelier Naoto Takeuchi selects natural wines, sake, and non-alcoholic drinks to accompany them. Simply delightful.

You cannot leave Japan without having eaten yakitori. If you want to do this right, try FUKU Yakitori.

We concluded at Bonus Track, a delicious foodcourt In the open air in the charming Shimokatasawa neighborhood. Here you drink beers under string lights and get delicious food.
