Craving eggs benedict for lunch, I decided to visit Sarabeth’s near Tokyo Station. Sarabeth’s originated in New York as a bakery and restaurant. When its first branch opened in Japan in Shinjuku in 2012, it drew massive crowds. Now, 11 years later, Sarabeth’s has four locations across Japan.
I had assumed Sarabeth’s would always have long lines during business hours. While it’s true that the restaurant is popular, reservations can be easily made through Ikkyu.com for locations in Tokyo, Shinagawa, Shinjuku, and Nagoya. Although walk-ins are welcome, reserving a table ensures you can skip the wait.
Since we made a reservation in advance, we were seated immediately. Sarabeth’s serves breakfast classics like pancakes, eggs benedict, and French toast all day. Their menu also includes hamburgers, sandwiches, and other options, making it perfect for sharing dishes with friends or family.
If you’re dining solo or as a pair, their Signature Course is a great choice. Priced at 2,900 yen, it includes a first drink, soup, main dish, dessert, and a final drink. Both the main dish and dessert come in half-sized portions, allowing you to enjoy a variety of flavors without overindulging.
The first drink offers a delightful choice of wine (including sparkling wine) or beer, which adds a touch of luxury to the meal.
You can choose between two soups: Seasonal Soup and Velvety Tomato Soup. Unfortunately, the Seasonal Soup wasn’t available that day, so I opted for the Velvety Tomato Soup. It had a subtle tanginess from the tomatoes, which I found refreshing and satisfying.
For the main dish, you can choose between Classic Eggs Benedict or Salmon Eggs Benedict. For an additional 110 yen, you can upgrade to Avocado Toast (Eggs Benedict with avocado). I opted for the Salmon Eggs Benedict, which came with a generous portion of salad.
The poached egg was cooked perfectly, with the yolk flowing beautifully when cut. This is always a highlight for me!
My friend tried the Classic Eggs Benedict. While I didn’t notice it earlier, the muffin for this version was slightly sweeter. Personally, I prefer muffins that are less sweet.
Dessert options include Fluffy French Toast, Buttermilk Pancakes, or Lemon Ricotta Pancakes (additional 220 yen). I went with the Fluffy French Toast, which was light, not overly sweet, and accompanied by strawberries and bananas. Just perfect for my taste!
My friend tried the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes. These were equally fluffy and came with raspberries and blueberries. The refreshing hint of lemon in the pancakes paired wonderfully with the berries.
The meal concludes with your choice of coffee or tea.
Overall, the portion sizes for the Signature Course were more than enough, and I felt like I had enjoyed both a full meal and dessert. This course is a fantastic way to sample Sarabeth’s signature dishes at a great value!
