"Café La Bohème" in Omotesando is a cave-like, hidden Italian gem—with an affordable lunch waiting at the top of the stairs

Read in Japanese

Located near the Omotesando intersection, “Café La Boheme Omotesando” has its entrance in the basement of a building that also houses GOKU BURGER and Heiroku Sushi. It’s a hidden gem of an Italian restaurant designed to resemble an attic, and this time I stopped by for their lunch set.

The restaurant isn’t too far from Omotesando Station. However, there are quite a few stairs, so it’s best to be a little careful when visiting.

A cave-like hideaway space spreads out at the top of the stairs

From the entrance to the dining area, you descend a long flight of stairs while admiring walls painted with cats and Parisian cityscapes. Since there are quite a few steps, be sure to watch your step when visiting.

At the bottom of the stairs lies a cave-like space featuring stone walls, murals of angels, and striking lighting. The interior is designed to resemble an attic, giving you the feeling of strolling through a Parisian alleyway.
