This is my favorite place for afternoon tea. This is my fourth time visiting, and three of those times were with the same friends. My friends also love this place, from the overall color and atmosphere to the taste of the food and tea, everything is just to our liking. My friends have fallen in love with the lovely female staff (Captain ○○○, with a very unique name). Everything about this place is perfect for our tea parties. The content was almost the same as when we visited in June: tomato parfait scones, three types of clotted cream, strawberry jam, passion fruit cream, honey sandwiches, various sweets, and drinks with the option for refills. There is no time limit. This time, my friend booked the 2:30 pm plan through One Harmony and even arranged for a birthday plate and photo service. The sweets are rich and sweet but not overpowering, elegant and delicate. Some people may not like this level of sweetness, but I still love this place.

I visited "THE LOBBY LOUNGE" on the 28th floor of the Shangri-La Hotel Tokyo, located just a short walk from Tokyo Station Nihonbashi Exit and Otemachi Station B7 Exit. I tried their ⭐️【Xmas2022】Christmas Afternoon Tea with playful Christmas motifs. Available from 12/1 to 12/25 from 12:00 to 15:30, this festive tea set includes savory items like caviar and sea urchin, as well as cute sweets with Christmas motifs. You can also enjoy a variety of teas from their menu. It's a great way to indulge in a luxurious and fun Christmas-themed tea experience!

It's the month to learn how to drink alcohol. It was around 7 pm on the weekend, and the customers were sparse. There were many older people, creating a calm atmosphere. The service staff were young women, but they provided very polite and pleasant service. Well done. I was able to relax and enjoy my unfamiliar drink alone. The rice crackers that came with the alcohol didn't seem to match the atmosphere, but it was funny. Live music started, and I had a luxurious time. By the way, the music charge is 2000 yen. I would like to come back for lunch or morning next time.

I use this Shangri-La Hotel's afternoon tea about once a year. This time, after successfully getting through a busy work period, my mother and I visited as a summer treat. On weekends, they serve afternoon tea from 13:00, so around 13:00, the guests who have made reservations start gathering in front of the lounge. We were promptly seated at 13:00, and I really like the lounge here because even if you're not by the window, you can still see outside. The afternoon tea staff all wear green suits that give off an international vibe, which is interesting. This time, we tried the Wellness Summer Afternoon Tea (including service charge 8,602 yen) held from 7/1 to 9/30, a healthy afternoon tea collaboration with a famous yoga instructor using materials that are good for the mind and body. I've been curious about it for a while, so I was thrilled to be able to go this time. As anyone who has experienced afternoon tea knows, you will get quite full. But even though I knew that, I couldn't resist ordering French fries on the à la carte menu, even though it wasn't listed (about 1,400 yen). First, we were served the Shangri-La Hotel's original Himalayan blend tea, which we enjoyed with the savory items. The afternoon tea is health-oriented, so I was delighted with the abundance of vegetables and grains. Everything was delicious, but what stood out were the "brown rice baked risotto with additive-free koji miso" and the "Kiryu yeast whole wheat bread avocado open sandwich". The brown rice risotto was chewy and slightly fragrant, which paired well with the koji miso. The open sandwich had a surprisingly soft and chewy bread, with a rich avocado and a nice touch of pink pepper. After the savory items, it was time for the sweets. All the sweets were delicious, but the "carrot cake" and the "cheesecake with koji and white miso" were particularly impressive. The carrot cake had a slightly spiced batter and a frosting of cheese that matched perfectly. The chocolate decoration shaped like a carrot on top was cute. The hotel's recommended cheesecake, which was made with koji and white miso, had a natural sweetness and richness that made it an outstanding rare cheesecake. Scones are a must-have for afternoon tea, and this time we had three types: plain, black sesame, and whole wheat raisin. The scone accompaniments were made from coconut milk and included kaya jam, white sesame paste, agave syrup, and strawberry jam. I love scones, and all three types were delicious, making it hard to choose a favorite. The jams to go with the scones were all delicious as well. The kaya jam had a comforting sweetness, but if you love peanut cream, you will surely be captivated by the combination of white sesame paste and agave syrup. By the way, the French fries I was munching on during the savory and sweet items were still delicious even when cold. They serve mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard with them. The portion of fries is generous, so be prepared if you want to order them! The highlight, of course, is the tea. My favorite was the "Garden of Eden," a mango and passion fruit-scented black tea, and my mother's favorite was the chestnut-like flavor of the "Tieguanyin tea." Afternoon tea is a two-hour affair, during which you can enjoy unlimited tea and coffee listed on the menu, so be sure to find your favorite drink. Recently, male customers have been increasing, not just women, so it seems like more and more people are enjoying afternoon tea.

Shangri-La Hotel on the 28th floor, just a short walk from Tokyo Station Yaesu North Exit. Enjoyed an afternoon tea in a spacious and luxurious setting. Not only were the appearance and taste wonderful, but the ingredients were mainly vegetable-based, making it very healthy and reassuring. I had to leave after 90 minutes due to work, but I recommend taking a leisurely 120 minutes.

"The Lobby Lounge" is a lounge on the 28th floor of Shangri-La Tokyo, near Tokyo Station Yaesu North Exit. I had a pleasant morning with top-notch service and a nice atmosphere. The seating and spacing between tables are wide, making it perfect for important meetings or discussions. It may be a bit pricey, but the food was delicious. Thank you for the meal. #TheLobbyLounge #ShangriLaTokyo #Morning #DeliciousMorning #TokyoStationGourmet #foodie #foodstagram #foodlover #foodgram #foodblog #foodblogger #foodtravel #foodporn #foodphotography #foodcritic #foodwriter #foodiecommunity #gourmetfood #foodreport #foodjournalist #bclassgourmetinformation #Tokyofoodie

When staying at Shangri-La Tokyo, I always make sure to reserve afternoon tea at the lobby lounge, but I hadn't written a review on Tabelog, so I'm writing one for the first time. Since I can't travel abroad due to the corona situation, I've been staying at hotels in Tokyo and trying out their afternoon teas. Whenever there's a café in the hotel that offers afternoon tea, I always make a reservation. Everyone has their own preferences, but I personally like the afternoon teas at The Okura Tokyo and Shangri-La Tokyo. The afternoon tea at Shangri-La Tokyo's lobby lounge offers a wide variety of teas compared to other hotels. The freshly baked three types of muffins are also very delicious. The live piano and cello music is a nice touch, making it a truly elegant experience. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

I had a late lunch around 2 pm on a weekday without a reservation and was able to get a table right away. This place only accepts reservations for afternoon tea and has a 2-hour time limit. I ordered the Sakura Mi Bento and BBQ Pork Ribs from the a la carte menu. The food was delicious! However, I felt a bit frustrated with the service. The staff didn't engage in friendly conversation like before and weren't flexible with the menu. They provided the bare minimum service, which was disappointing considering the 15% service charge. It made me sad as it used to be a memorable place for me. Perhaps they are understaffed, but I don't think I will visit again.

I went to my favorite Shangri-La again ☺️ It was a weekend, but there were only about 2 groups waiting in the lobby lounge, so I was able to get in without much of a wait. You can make a reservation for the tapas stand for the Afternoon Tea Night version, but it seems that reservations are not available for other seats. I ordered the curry laksa! I've had it before and it's really delicious! You can adjust the spiciness yourself. It's packed with plenty of seafood and the portion is generous. I also ordered my usual almond jelly (melon flavor on this day) and a cafe latte. There is a music charge at night.

I used it for afternoon tea. There were many female customers, and it was elegant. It's wonderful to spend tea time listening to live piano music. The consideration of wrapping scones in a napkin so they don't get cold was fantastic.

I had a light lunch at this lounge. It was more like a bread and salad set than a course meal. The meat was a bit fatty for my taste, like A5 grade beef. The custard pudding was incredibly delicious, with a firm texture. Thank you for the meal.

I went to the lobby lounge of the Shangri-La Hotel Tokyo, which is directly connected to Tokyo Station on the Yaesu side but has a Marunouchi address. They have new parfaits and afternoon tea starting from February. The lobby lounge had a relaxed atmosphere in the evening. It wasn't too crowded, with only 3 or 4 groups coming in later. I ordered the Strawberry Parfait. The parfait consisted of heart-shaped cocoa meringue, ruby chocolate whipped cream, Chitose strawberries, yuzu raspberry jelly, white chocolate freeze-dried strawberries, and gateau chocolat. The Chitose strawberries are a new variety that was born in 2015. They are small with a bright red exterior and a soft, sweet flavor. The meringue was crispy and had a fragrant taste. The ruby chocolate whipped cream had a strong sweetness. The Chitose strawberry ice cream was soft with a nostalgic deliciousness. The parfait also had edible flowers. The heart-shaped cocoa meringue was crispy and had a rich sweetness. The white chocolate was thick and separated the layers, with dried strawberries and gateau chocolat underneath. The dried strawberries were crunchy and sweet. The gateau chocolat had a strong sponge-like texture and a not too sweet chocolate flavor. It was a bit pricey, and I wish there were more strawberries in it. It was a delicious treat overall.

I made a reservation for the Strawberry Afternoon Tea on a weekday, but it was quite crowded. The clientele consisted mostly of wealthy ladies, which is a plus. The desserts were not overly sweet, and the savory items were well-seasoned. The overall taste was on par with top-tier afternoon teas in Tokyo, but nothing particularly outstanding. The scones being individually wrapped was a nice touch. The tea selection was somewhat limited, especially in terms of options that pair well with afternoon tea. There were also few options for cold drinks. Service was a bit slow, but the ambiance, seating, lighting, and view were all good. Overall, it's one of the better places in Tokyo for afternoon tea, but not necessarily a must-visit.

I went to have afternoon tea! It cost around 17,000 yen for two people, so please be aware that service charge is included! It was decorated for Christmas with lots of chandeliers and a cute Christmas tree. The scallop and sea urchin dish and the Nutcracker macaron were delicious! Also, the tea called Eden was really tasty.

Salad, corn soup, eggs benedict, 007 martini, dirty burger. I visited Shangri-La for breakfast and the bar. The corn soup, iced coffee, and melon were especially delicious. The corn soup was outstanding. The bar had flavorful burgers, potatoes, and soup. Personally, I prefer breakfast and the bar over afternoon tea.

I need a little more than the stated 1 minute walk from the Nihonbashi exit of JR Tokyo Station to reach The Lobby Lounge on the 28th floor of the Shangri-La Hotel. I was invited by a friend to enjoy a "High-Tea" instead of Afternoon Tea. We toasted with Pommery champagne, as my friend is a Pommery lover. I believe we also had some tea, but I forgot to take a photo of it. It was Halloween season, so there were Halloween-themed sweets and sandwiches. It was quiet in the evening, allowing us to have a leisurely chat. The space had a cosmic feel, and as I gazed at the setting sun, I felt like I could fall asleep right there. Thank you for the wonderful meal. ❤️

I heard that the breakfast buffet was back, so I visited. You can choose one main dish. This time, I chose the salmon eggs benedict, and it was truly high quality. There is a variety of breads, as well as Chinese congee and noodles. It's rare to find a place that serves Chinese noodles in the morning, and you can add your own toppings, which was enjoyable. Although there are fewer dishes compared to other hotels, the service, food quality, and atmosphere were all fantastic, allowing me to experience a special morning.

The breakfast venue, "The Lobby Lounge," offered the main menu of "Egg Royale with Lobster and Caviar" today, with a little extra charge. I couldn't resist because I love lobster. It was delicious. My partner opted for a Japanese breakfast, which also looked delicious and filling. I couldn't resist the salmon from the buffet. They also had Chinese congee and Taiwanese ramen with various toppings, which were all delicious. The service was excellent, and I was completely satisfied. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

This time, I stayed at "Shangri-La Tokyo" and had breakfast at "The Lobby Lounge". It was a buffet style with the option to choose one main dish... There were so many main dishes to choose from, it was hard to decide. On the first day, I had the "Salmon and Spinach Eggs Benedict" where the salmon was cooked perfectly. It was delicious! My partner had the "Tuna Poke Salad Benedict" which also looked very tasty. They had a variety of breads available, all of which I wanted to try. Since we are staying another night, we can save some dishes to try tomorrow. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

I went for afternoon tea that I booked through Ikyu. This time, the theme seemed to be sweets from around the world, with each country's specialty being the motif. There were almost 20 types of free-flow drinks, which was too much to finish. Honestly, in terms of just the food, the cost performance is... but overall, including the atmosphere and service, the satisfaction level is very high. I had a great holiday.
