Shiseido Parlour

I've been here multiple times and finally decided to leave a review. Most recently, I was here for lunch. We ordered a lunch set menu that was excellent value - for approximately ¥5,000, you get a soup of the day, croquette, fish, hayashi rice, and dessert. Their cold consomme is so delicious and unique that I ordered it a la carte on top of my lunch set. Croquette always perfectly crispy on the outside and delicate on the inside. Excellent flavor. A bunch of reviewers have expressed disappointment over their omurice - I agree that it's not the best. However, Shiseido Parlour's hayashi rice and curry rice are where it's really at. They whip up a perfect demi-glace sauce base that's an umami bomb. So good. Reservations are highly recommended, even on weekdays. It's a popular spot and you'd be faced with a long wait and potential disappointment if you just walk in. Decor is definitely not to everybody's taste. Dated? No, the place feels newly renovated. You just have to accept that it's a shoujo palace targeting Japanese aunties (should be obvious from their website copy LOL.) Every time we've been there, the place was always packed with housewives and old ladies having a great time. We love it.

This cafe is definitely worth the visit albeit the higher pricing as the dessert and atmosphere are really good. The cafe itself is really beautiful and there is 2 floor in total with the 1st floor selling beautiful cakes and biscuits and the 2nd floor cafe. The most delicious dessert here is definitely their Strawberry Parfait and it's definitely worth the price tag as it's really delicious. Do visit their toilet here in the cafe as its very advance!!

The ice cream looks green but doesn't taste like a green tea. I love the atmosphere as you feel you are sitting in a luxury cafe in Ginza. In the entrance they didn't even show us the menu and immediately gave us a bill that forces us to go upstairs and order!

Ordered set lunch at ¥75,000. Coffee was acidic, appetizer fois gras was mediocre. Sauce was too heavy.The cold Corn cream soup was great. Smooth and flavourful. Lamb chop was tough. The crust of the dessert soaked in the sauce. Not a very good combination.

Arrived a weekday 12.30. The earliest time available was 14.00, so we booked and went to the café one stair below while waiting. The interior was in gold/beige and looked a bit outdated. Service charge of 10%. I enjoyed my omelet that was filled with chicken and rice and served with creamy tomato sauce. It was generally soft and creamy. The beef curry was seasoned very differently than Golden Curry I'm used to - it had more sharper seasoning. Generally pleasant, but none of the dishes were super remarkable.

Beef hayashi rice with various condiments Tangerine was a new experience for me Perfect flavor and consistency Can you see the opal sheen of fats and broth and everything nice on the surface?! I don’t know what kind of sorcery was involved with creating this beautiful concoction Beef was beautifully cooked and just the right balance between fatty and meaty Each slice of mushroom, onion was cooked to perfection Top notch service The tablecloth has shiseido written on it very cool

It was the most inconvenient omurice in the world. Maybe because I didn't order a course or a drink... I heard all the staff talking. I will eat parfait alone in the evening from now on…🥲

Great service , and just tranquil relaxing place to be at for our first lunch visit here. Had the lunch set followed by their signature strawberry parfait and added on the shortcake to try. Nice way to end off our last day in Tokyo. It’s also great for solo travellers.

Quite a long wait! We walked in Tuesday noon and were told to come back in 20-40 mins. Fortunately there's no shortage of things to do in this area. By the time we browsed only two shops, it was time to eat. Staff are courteous and very well-trained for fine dining. Dishes are served at a very leisurely pace. Reminiscent of English high tea. We observed various groups of older women gossiping away-- an ideal catch-up spot, it seems. FRIED SHRIMP SANDWICH: Quite light, fried delicately. There's a bit of sauce (tartar sauce?) to cut the fat. The finger sandwich size is actually pretty filling. EUROPEAN PEAR "LA FRANCE" MAPLE PARFAIT: Very pretty to look at. The fruit is juicy & super fresh, goes well with the sweet cream. The maple at the bottom is very rich. STRAWBERRY & EUROPEAN PEAR FRUIT SANDWICHES: This is the best fruit sandwich I had all trip LOL. Especially the pear-- SO ripe and sweet, on a light, fluffy croissant. Obviously, the strawberry was good, too. The food and service is high quality, but I think there are more luxurious pastries and experiences for similar price elsewhere in Ginza. NOTE: Definitely read up on the Shiseido Parlour background before you visit! I'm a Shiseido skincare lover and didn't know about this. If I had known that they started from a humble pharmaceutical company in the 1870s, which later branched into the food & cosmetics spaces, I think I would have appreciated its historical value much more.

Salon de Shiseido.. Who knows Shiseido now has her own parlours, cafés and restaurants ? After shopping at Shiseido The Ginza located in the next building, we popped in here and took an elevator up to the Salon de Shiseido. It is a little formal and a very classy restaurant. Originally we just wanted to find a place to have some cold beverages due to the intense heat. I thought this just going to be a cafe like the Parlour de Shiseido we went days ago near Daimaru. The staff gave us a menu and we decided to just get some green tea ice cream. So this review will just going to be based on the ice cream, service, decor and ambience. Everything hit the right note, definitely my kind of place. I wish they have more variety of cakes and tea. This place reminded me of this cafe named Antoinette (my favorite cafe in Singapore). Everything is pretty, classy and elegant. Price a tad on the high side, but it is definitely a place to chill and relax.

Not quite sure if I enjoyed the space and the decor. Enjoyed the service more than anything. The cake set was delicious, but it was not the best patisserie I ever had. The wait line was about 20 minutes. Would rather try another tea house than wait 20 minutes or go to tsubakiya. Think Paris has better patisserie than what the store offers.

Looking for dessert in the area, my 2 friends and I decided to come here. The first floor is the cafe shop where you can buy goods to take out. The cafe is upstairs where you have to take the elevator. The venue here is pretty big and mostly full but we were able to get a table. I had wanted to get the Rose and strawberry Milfeuille, but when I gave my order, the waitress said they were sold out of it. It would have been better if they had made a note on what they had available, and not have to decide in a a split second what I wanted otherwise. Since the waitress was impatient, I decided to get the cheesecake. Overall it was good. It came out nice and warm, but felt it was a bit too sweet the more I ate it.

Shiseido is known throughout the world for cosmetic products, but who knew about the sweets. Shisedo Parlour is a building of sweet goodness. The first level is the store selling chocolates and all kind of desserts. The upper levels are the restaurants, and we went up to the third floor to the cafe for our afternoon snack. The wait wasn't too long. It was 30 minutes or so, but it got pretty crowded in the waiting area with so many people. I love the environment. It reminded me of English tea at the Peninsula. I got pretty confused by the menu at first, because I couldn't find any of the cakes other people were enjoying. It turned out to be the combo set, and they carried out the showcase for your selection. I was happy with my choice, and the cakes were quite good. The presentation, flavor, and sweetness really came together. It was hard for me to rate this place, because I was looking at it in relative terms. There are so many high caliber establishments in the Ginza area like Laudree Salon and Dalloyau. In the end, Shiseido Parlour stands side by side with some of the world famous from France.

What a wonderful place to visit when in Ginza Japan. Salon de Cafe is a soda fountain type of parlor. On the first floor you can buy strawberry cheesecake sold exclusively for Shiseido. The building has different floors with bars, restaurants , and parlors.

Beware last order is at 830 though the place closes at 9. And you have to be seated before 830.
