📜 Restaurant Details
Cafe AALIYA is an old café with a long history, famous for its French toast. The café is located across from "Isetan" at the Shinjuku Sanchome intersection, marked by a beautifully decorated staircase entrance that leads down into the café. The atmosphere here is soft and warm, making it a perfect place to completely relax. AALIYA's signature dish is its French toast, which has been popular for decades. The toast is thick and has a slightly crispy surface, while the inside is fluffy and soft, with a moderate sweetness. The key to their exquisite toast is the unique method of grilling it on a copper plate. Copper conducts heat better than iron, allowing the thick toast to be grilled evenly without losing moisture, resulting in a fluffy, delicious, and moist texture that is truly exceptional. The freshly baked toast pairs perfectly with siphon coffee or selected black tea. Additionally, during lunch hours, they offer toast sets that come with a drink and a salad (or soup), which are quite a bargain.
