🍜 Café GALANT (喫茶店ギャラン)

Located in Ueno, GALANT (ギャラン) is a café filled with a retro atmosphere. Passing by the food models displayed in the shop's window, you ascend the narrow staircase to the second floor, where a chic and elegant space bathed in sunlight awaits you. Sitting by the window allows you to overlook the JR trains racing along the tracks. The café offers "洋食" (yoshoku), which refers to Western-style dishes that were introduced from Western countries and have been adapted to local Japanese tastes—a culinary practice known as "和洋折衷" (wayōsetchū). Here, you can enjoy time-honored parfaits, cakes, and ice cream alongside coffee, or you can choose a hamburger or omelet rice to satisfy your appetite.

The coffee shop must-have items include parfait, cream soda, and curry rice. Sitting on the vintage sofa, you can relax and forget the hustle and bustle outside. The breakfast set menu is rich in offerings and highly recommended.
