Ueno no Mori Park Side Cafe

This large café serves a variety of dishes made with fresh and seasonal vegetables. We recommend the Forest Garden Plate – a flavourful mix of 15 different vegetables (¥1,749) that change every season – or the spaghetti bolognese with fresh mozzarella cream cheese (¥1,309). Pair your dish with a cup of herbal tea made from peppermint, lemongrass, lemon balm and rosemary (¥825). 

You’ll also find a range of desserts, such as the small tower of Belgian-style waffles topped with a dollop of vanilla ice cream and garnished with a red berry sauce (¥1,034).

Park Side Café’s interior design matches its location – it’s laid back and relaxed, with lots of natural wood. On sunny days, opt for a seat out on the semi-covered terrace. You’ll get to enjoy the sounds of nature, surrounded by plenty of greenery, and take in the view of Ueno Park’s famous Fountain Square.
