Bills

Harajuku is full of pleasant surprises hidden in secret nooks. If you go to the 6th floor of Tokyu Plaza on Omotesando, you will find yourself in a little rooftop garden dotted with swing chairs and sun beds under the shades of trees. You have an option to grab a quick coffee and snack at Starbucks.

But real breakfast aficionados should head to the 7th floor to Bills for a truly scrumptious authentic Australian morning affair. Owned by Australian chef and food writer Bill Granger this lively café strikes with its buzzing atmosphere. I loved how the space was filled with cozy corners like this library which houses an eclectic collection of books available for literature-loving coffee-drinkers.

The extensive menu will get you drooling with options like Full Aussie Breakfast I had while seating on a sunny veranda: glossy (literally), light and fluffy scrambled eggs (organic), bacon, roasted tomato, mushrooms and whole-wheat sourdough toast with butter. It was heavenly!

Has your mouth started watering yet? Well, wait till I tell you all about their specialty – delightful fluffy and moist ricotta hotcakes, paired with fresh banana & indulgent honeycomb butter! Y.U.M.

Don’t worry, there are plenty of healthier options too like cereal bowls and salads. Also, check out their website for dinner menu and other locations around Tokyo. Just be prepared for a long wait – and brace yourself for a heftier-than-average bill at the end of your meal.Harajuku is full of pleasant surprises hidden in secret nooks.
