Best Weekend Brunches in Tokyo

by Asia Car Service

Where is the Best Breakfast in Tokyo?

Tokyo is rich in history, culture, art, fashion, and, of course, food options. As such, you can try different foods around the city from sunrise to sunset. If you are a fan of the morning options, we might recommend one of Tokyo’s hottest brunch spots. However, as the options are plenty, we have taken the liberty of suggesting not just one but six different places you might want to stop by for a delightful afternoon.

1. Sarabeth’s

First opening its doors in 2015, Sarabeth’s is known as the “Breakfast Queen of New York.” You can find this Tokyo favorite at Shinjuku Station in the Lumine Mall, 22nd floor. Here, you will have the option of both a Western-style brunch and all-day breakfast. Freshly squeezed juices, Eggs Benedict, French toast, pancakes, and other morning delicacies await!

Address: Lumine 22F, 3-38-2 Shinjuku, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo

Hours: 9:00 to 22:00 (every day)

2. Mercer Brunch

A cozy Italian restaurant in the Minato ward of Roppongi, Mercer Brunch offers both classic brunch options during the day and a variety of dinner options for its evening guests. Due to its high popularity, making reservations ahead of time is highly recommended. With both indoor and outdoor terrace seating, the restaurant offers everything from a variety of delightful egg dishes to nordic salmon, sea urchin, lobster prawns, and sirloin steak!

Address: Roppongi 1F, 4-2-35 Roppongi, Minato-ku, Tokyo

Hours: 10:00 to 15:30 (weekdays), 9:00 to 17:00 (weekends)

3. Bills Ginza

Located in the historically-rich Ginza district (at Ginza Station), as the name would imply, Bills Ginza is Australian Chef Bill Granger’s sixth Japanese location! At the top floor of Ginza’s Okura House, you can spend an entire afternoon treating your taste buds to organic scrambled eggs, ricotta pancakes, Eggs Benedict, green smoothies, and all types of fancy cocktails.

Address: Okura House 12F, 2-6-2 Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo

Hours: 8:30 to 23:00 (every day)

4. Eggcellent

Another favorite among Tokyo’s early birds, Eggcellent has been a staple at Roppongi Hills since 2018. Though the restaurant has been around for longer, since 2013, the menu and location have changed since its launch. Stop by and try the classic Eggcellent Benedict (with avocado and fresh tuna), or their fluffy pancakes with whipped butter or maple syrup. Whichever dish you try will likely leave you walking with a spring in your step!

Address: Mori Tower Hillside B1F, 6-10-1 Roppongi, Minato-ku, Tokyo

Hours: 7:00 – 21:00 (weekdays), 8:00 – 21:00 (weekends)

5. Blu Jam Cafe

In Tokyo’s iconic Shibuya, near Daikanyama Station, this popular cafe offers its own trendy style of brunch options. The Blu Jam Cafe, native to LA, offers an all-day American-style brunch that includes everything your heart desires. Pop in and try their French toast, pancakes, salads, burgers, sandwiches, steak & eggs, or salmon hash. 

Also, feel free to ask about their gluten-free and vegan options, Blu Jam makes sure everyone can enjoy their dishes. If you are not too hungry and would rather sit back and enjoy an afternoon with friends, they also offer a wide array of craft beers and mixed cocktails. All in all, whatever you’re looking for, Blu Jam has you covered.

Address: Moncheri Daikanyama B2, 20-20 Daikanyama-cho, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo

Hours: 8:00 to 21:00 (closed Tuesdays)

6. The French Kitchen

Last on our list of best places to satisfy your craving for brunch is The French Kitchen. Yet another great option in Roppongi, this French bistro is famous for its luxurious and cosy atmosphere, as well as its “Grand Weekend Brunch.” As you would expect from the weekend brunch of a 5-star hotel, the buffet offers everything from a variety of meats, to salads, deli bites, fresh bread, desserts, and even champagne to start your day off with a kick!

Address: Grand Hyatt Tokyo 2F, 6-10-3 Roppongi, Minato-ku, Tokyo

Hours: 11:30 – 15:00 (Saturday and Sunday)

Getting Around Tokyo

As you choose the best place to start off your day, make sure you don’t waste precious time getting around the city. Brunch specials aren’t always all-day, and you wouldn’t want to arrive only to find all the best dishes are running low. That’s why we recommend hiring a reliable car service to drive you around. Their professional local drivers can help you arrive swiftly at any destination, and you will have 24-hour customer support at hand to avoid any inconveniences.

Best Brunch Spots in Tokyo

Regardless of which place you choose, Japan’s food is world-famous for a reason. The highest standards of quality are prevalent all around the country and their capital city is definitely no exception. If you have enough time, you might even have a chance to try more than one of these exquisite locations. If you do stop by one of these, or happen to find another great option, feel free to leave a comment and let us know. Bon appetit!
