Café La Bohème Jiyugaoka — Restaurant in Tokyo

The atmosphere inside was wonderfully lively, filled with a pleasant buzz. While the background music was a bit loud, it actually enhanced the cheerful ambiance of the entire establishment, making the vibrant space feel quite comfortable.

On this visit, we started with a savory sausage. Simple yet bursting with meaty flavor, it was a fantastic appetizer. The Caesar salad, generously topped with grated cheese, was a perfect blend of fresh vegetables and rich dressing – an excellent palate cleanser.

The pizza, chosen as our main, was absolutely exquisite! The crust was perfectly baked and crispy, with a delightfully chewy texture that was irresistible. We opted for a half-and-half, featuring Margherita and prosciutto with arugula, which was a great choice, allowing us to enjoy two distinct flavors in one pizza. The bitterness of the arugula, in particular, added a lovely accent, keeping each bite interesting.

The carbonara also did not disappoint. The rich sauce clung beautifully to the pasta, and the saltiness and umami of the accompanying bacon perfectly rounded out the dish. It was an authentic and highly satisfying flavor.

Among the drinks, the sangria with a "kiwi punch" stood out. The refreshing taste of kiwi added to the sangria made it fruity and easy to drink, pairing wonderfully with our meal.

Our waitress was attentive and ensured we had a comfortable experience throughout our visit. The open kitchen let us see the lively chefs at work, adding to the dynamic...

One star up after last visit 22.10.2022

Very yummy gnocchi + Veal cutlet always delicious + Pizza was yummy but it’s smaller then before Tiramisu very nice 👍

Risotto is nice but bit too salty Chicken wings also way too salty but edible

I would like to say only nice things… but unfortunately seasonal pasta is pretty bad … I could taste mostly FAKE truffle bullion which destroyed everything else. I don’t really understand why would you use fake ingredients when you have such a nice fresh truffle mushrooms slices going with it.

But I have to say the Buratta cheese is amazing

We visited again

And veal cutlet ❤️ (I would suggest for veal cutlet to make optional choice for side dish as : mashed potato Boiled potato or salad 🥗

Instead of 🍟 French fries

With the reason the dish is already fried and french fries are fried it’s make the dish very heavy And would be nice to heave something lighter to eat it with

Because the star is “ veal cutlet “ :) Not oil

Lasagna yummy . Very heavy that’s why portion size is perfect Not too big not too small for 2 people to shear is enough

Burrata cheese delicious as always ( that lovely tomato’s are...

I went with my wife and my son. We ordered fries for my kid, pasta with shrimps and mascarpone and beef cutlet. Fries with anchovies were delicious but I can’t say the same for the other dishes. Pasta was nothing special. The cutlet was soaked in oil and clearly not beef. The meat was white-ish, probably pork (which is a way cheaper than beef). Tasteless and very thin. We also wanted to order 2 shakes but a waiter told us that was finished. After seeing the bartender making a shake we asked to another waiter and he told us that we could order the shake. Eventually the shake was with water instead of milk. One last horrible thing: the waiter served us the cups with red (bloody) blisters on his hands, touching the surface that we should use for drinking. A very...
