Aman Tokyo The Café by Aman — Restaurant in Tokyo

Unforgettable experience in the worst way possible!

A group of friends came here to celebrate a special occasion and unfortunately we were all very dissaponted. The service was so horrible that all anyone could talk about after the party was how terrible it was and how it was completely uncalled for. We were told that we had to remain seated like school children when trying to take a picture, had our food and wine glasses taken before it was finished, a server that would not answer questions or check with the chef about ingredients due to food allergies and made us leave the restaurant when there was no one waiting and no other party coming.

The experience was extremely unfortunate as the meal was delicious and the hotel was beautiful but I would not reccomend this restaurant because of the poor service. There are so many other great options in Tokyo to choose from especially in this higher...

Very disappointed with the experience. Reserved a table for my early birthday celebration thinking it would be a memorable experience. Terrible service by a rude server who dripped disdain and could not speak much English. We paid a lot extra by adding on to the set menu. The food (except the beef and the sparkling wine) was second-rate: edamame soup was unsalted, the Caesar salad was full of mayonnaise, and the dessert was tasteless and blasé. The saving grace was the super warm and friendly French server from Normandy. For the price it cost the two of us, we would have been better off having several meals at less expensive Japanese restaurants where the quality is high. Would not eat at...

我必須承認，因為有太長的時間沒有造訪東京了，除了那些30年前我就已經知道的百年老店之外，我還是想去看一看這幾年來都已經人氣的餐廳或者是咖啡館。所以在IG看到有人推薦AMAN TOKYO的THE CAFÉ by AMAN，不用日幣10,000就可以享受AMAN TOKYO的午餐，聽起來令人十分的心動，所以出發前往東京之前就在網路上先預訂了。

THE CAFÉ by AMAN位於AMAN TOKYO刻意營造出來的「大手町之森」中。在辦公大樓聳立的丸之內、大手町，「大手町之森」的確為AMAN TOKYO取得了一片靜謐悠然的綠地，也成了附近上班族午餐或午休時間的好去處。

THE CAFÉ by AMAN的午餐是提供季節性的套餐，稅前的價格是¥5,946，前菜和主菜都有提供加價選擇的菜色。因為煮菜不加價的話是鯛魚，前菜不加價，有鱈魚和燒雞可做選擇。為了不吃兩道魚的料理，前菜我選了鱈魚白醬花椰菜佐杏仁蕃茄乾醬，主菜我加了¥1,500選了烤日本里肌牛肉與時令蔬菜。因為前一天在BELLUSTAR吃到超好吃的和牛，很想延續那種味覺上的震撼，而且這裡又是AMAN TOKYO隸屬的餐廳，我相信水平一定不會差到哪裡去。

THE CAFÉ by AMAN的空間並不大，頂多可以招待20來位到30位客人左右的空間，佈置是不是承襲了AMAN TOKYO我不清楚，但很簡潔，但我沒有發現太多令人驚喜的細節。

午餐套餐包含了季節濃湯、一道前菜、一道主菜、一道甜點，還有咖啡和紅茶，如果是針對食量小的人，我相信這樣的份量應該是充足的。我只能慶幸飯店提供的早餐非常的豐盛，所以即便是午餐的時候我還可以感受到飽足感，不用吃太多。

白花椰菜熬煮的季節濃湯，味道有點寡淡，沒有放太多獨特的香料進行調味。結果沒想到前菜的鱈魚冷菜，也用白花椰菜泥襯底，我只能祈禱主菜不要再讓我看到白花椰菜泥。前菜很平凡，只有擺盤很好看，但算不上精緻，鱈魚的處理方式沒有太特別，出乎意料，五星級飯店餐廳的餐點也可以如此「平易近人」？！

吃了兩道食之無味的餐點之後，主菜終於上場囉，這個日本牛里肌，跟我前一天在BELLUSTAR吃到的和牛，根本是兩種完全不同的肉，而且主廚把牛肉處理得有點偏乾，一樣也不是用太重的口味做調理，三道菜吃起來就是蠻清淡的。

終於輪到甜點上場了，因為冬天是日本柚子盛產的季節，所以菜單上的甜點是提供柚子焦糖慕斯巧克力冰淇淋。因為上一個禮拜被Andaz Tokyo在客房所提供的新鮮日本柚子給驚艷到，所以在日本的這段期間我一直在超級市場尋找新鮮的時令日本柚子。甜點或飲料我也盡量選擇有日本柚子的成分。

這道甜的應該算是今天四道菜裡面，我覺得最具有AMAN TOKYO水平的餐點，前面三道菜，我覺得許多其他的餐廳都可以吃得到。說到服務的話，畢竟是飯店的餐廳，所以服務人員其實是還蠻照顧客人，會隨時注意客人的水杯空了沒？餐點是不是吃完了，客人的包包或衣服有沒有遮蓋好？不讓食物的氣味去沾染到，這一點算是蠻貼心的。

餐廳的客人大部分都是一些看起來閑閑沒事做可以整天喝下午茶的女生，當然也有一些附近的上班族，但我覺得會在THE CAFÉ by AMAN用餐的，完全是為了名氣而來，為了這個「不用¥10,000就可以吃到AMAN TOKYO的午餐」的迷思。而且我可是在網路跟IG上面搜尋過，THE CAFÉ by AMAN被排在東京非吃不可的午餐前五名。不過實際用過程之後就覺得網路上真的是言過其實了，而且我也蠻意外的，AMAN TOKYO允許THE CAFÉ by AMAN提供這種等級的餐點。只是我整趟東京行程下來最無法理解的地方。

如果你問我要不要特別繞到大手町在THE CAFÉ by...
