Canal Cafe Review Summary

It's a cafe with a really nice view.
I went there for lunch, got instantly a table and the food was ready in no time.

The crust of the pizza was really nice and fluffy. The salad was fresh and the appetizers were really good. There is nothing I could complain about.

The food was tasty in general, the room had an AC and the view was really nice. Perfect for a hot summer day to enjoy lunch.

Definitely the best cafe in central Tokyo.
Have really nice reasonable wine from France and great food.
Cake and coffee matches beautifully with the view of the canal.

To have relaxing time, you can ride on boat to have some exercise.

You can also see beautiful cherry blossoms during the season. Definitely the GOTO in Tokyo.

The place is amaaaazing. The staff are very nice. I went there sunset time and I’d always go again. I don’t like they’re strict to coffee and dining seats although the tables were 80% empty that my mom & I had to sit separately cuz she wanted to eat & I wanted coffee that she was disappointed with me :(

Wonderful atmosphere! Great spot during the day and the night. The pizza is too small in my opinion for the price, however it is delicious. Drinks are relatively cheap. There is plenty of space and the view is just awesome. I wish they played some music quietly on the deck, would co contribute to the vibe

I am revisiting my review after another visit. The cafe is large, has a pleasant canal view with water and green. The Saturday lunch sets are delicious if you order pizza or some of the desserts (gelato was good, not sweet not heavy), but the pasta is not really good at all. The starters are also very generic and bland. The first thing we were told at the entrance was that we have to order at least a set. The place was crowded with people and it felt like there is not much interest in serving more. In both my visits the service was slow, inattentive, and not friendly - very atypical. Even the bathroom that you learn to expect to be super clean and great anywhere in Tokyo was suboptimal here. You can easily do better in terms of both service, authenticity and food in Kagurazaka. In my first visit as a single visitor the waiters never came to offer me a menu until I asked for it, cleaning the table before coffee and dessert was also not part of the plan. In the second visit as a group of three a few years later it was not any better. Unfortunately, it felt overpriced for the selection of the food and the general value.
