eatrip

4.5 / 5.0 - Eatrip is one of the coziest, incredible hidden restaurants I’ve been to in Tokyo. It’s located very centrally in Harajuku, tucked away behind a main street, surrounded by greenery and next to their flower shop. I came here with one of my friends last month and we had a fabulous evening in this lovely setting. For dinner, they have one course menu (7,700 yen incl. tax) and with drinks, it ends up being 9,000 yen or more per person. At a glance, the course menu looked quite large, with 7 dishes and a drink. However, each dish was just a couple of bites each, so it wasn’t as heavy and we could enjoy many different flavors. I can see how the portions may be too small for some. The service was fine, although not the friendliest and it did feel a little rushed the way they served one dish after another. Considering the price point and beautiful atmosphere, I wish the service were better. We still did have a wonderful farm-to-table experience and I look forward to visiting again. Menu on Mar 19: - Fave Beans & Chrizo Pound Cake - Seasonal Vegetables with Nuts & Miso Sauce - Marinated Bonito, Plum and Kale - Fukinotou Fritter - Sautéed Spanish Mackerel, Canola Flower & Cherry Shrimp Sauce - Grilled Beef, Kintoki Carrot Purée & Water Dropworts - Dessert: Choice of 4 Kinds of Citrus, Fromage Blanc Mousse OR Standard Custard Pudding, Espresso Cream & Amaretti - Drink: Choice of Coffee OR Herbal Tea

Borderline decent food for the price, but decent enough to support great atmosphere of a little Tokyo hideaway. Enjoy the beautiful decor, but don’t expect much of food or service. All the dishes lack cohesion, with chef pairing together two individually delicious ingredients but ruining the taste unity in the process. Salted fish and persimmons? Could be good, but not so here... Service is not bad, but reactions from a some staff members seem outright weird and awkwardly robotic. Try lunch if you are in the area and hungry, and dinner if you need that romantic feel. Don’t expect to be wowed though.

The best atmosphere for dinner!! We had a paring corse and everything was fantastic!! I really enjoyed everything we had and the course was just right amount for me to be able to enjoy the dessert as well. The staff are super friendly and they gave us good food presentation as well:) They use local organic ingredients. I loved all the details of interior too! Very much looking forward to going back again!

Incredible hidden gem in Shabuya. You enter off the back alley up a set of steps and dine in a tiny garden. Such a delight! We opted for the wine pairing which was absolutely perfect. Highlights of the menu were the vegetables with nut/miso sauce and melon gazpacho.

Beautiful place! Food is good but not for the price. We've been to many restaurants before and even though the atmosphere was fantastic and the food tasted good, the size of the portions and the flavour did not match with what we were charged. If you don't mind spending well over 100 dollars per person, give it a try because the place is really nice and the service is amazing. Otherwise, there are plenty of restaurants in Tokyo that offer a better value but at a less sophisticated place.

Really cute farm to table style restaurant, I love the use of local produce and the knowledge provided on the ingredients by the staff. The atmosphere is lovely as it feels like a hidden oasis us the heart or Harajuku. The food however was nice but under seasoned and not memorable and we were still hungry afterwards.

Cozy place, food was fresh and really good. Pretty good date place, I feel like I wanted bigger portions but I guess that’s how it is for these type of restaurants. You definitely need to book a reservation because its quite popular.

The food here is amazing but on the expensive side (2500 for set lunch). Staff is super accommodating of dietary restrictions. The atmosphere is very calming, earthy but sleek -- such a beautiful restaurant! Try the mint tea, it's so good!
