Path

Delightful little brunch spot that serves a delicious Dutch pancake with Parma and burrata; the syrup mixed with ham, melted cheese, and eggy texture of the bread is truly outstanding. And while that was impressive, I found myself LOVING the creamy salsiccia stew and radiccio, quinoa, grape salad. Both were so flavorful. In addition to the food, the ambience was so comfortably stylish—soft yellow lighting; a record player spinning out an eclectic mix of music; and modern rustic farmhouse decor.

There is no doubt the pancake is delicious. But it is on the pricer side because you need to get a drink with every order. I had a hit Americano. The coffee is from Fuglen but is too diluted. Went on a Friday morning around 7:30 am, 3rd in queue. By the time the restaurant opens at 8 am, there is only 4 people in queue so you can still walk in at 8 o clock.

🛎️ [Must-Try] Dutch Pancake with Parma Prosciutto & Burrata Cheese Visited many times, and this skillet pancake is always worth the 30-minute bake. Crisp on the outside and soft inside, almost like a puff pastry. The savory Parma prosciutto and creamy burrata in the center, finished with a drizzle of maple syrup, create the most perfect balance of flavors.

We got here 15min before opening and we’re 4th in line through their electronic waitlist they prepared outside. There was a line up that accumulated after us shortly. Once they called us we got in and sat at the bar. We were aware that it takes about 30min for them to prepare the Dutch pancake but with everyone ordering it as expected, the wait time for us was more like 45/50min. We did watch the cook diligently work on it as quick as she can but there were definitely patrons after us that waited longer. Once we got the pancake it was pretty good, like a sweet and savoury soufflé-like pancake with prosciutto nestled inside. It was pretty sizeable also and was really good with the provided maple syrup. I can’t say it was worth the wait but it was definitely good and worth the experience. Would recommend coming early for this one.

The Dutch pancake is perfect! Don't miss it. The salad is also very special. Their coffee is wonderful and the service is really good. Great experience

Arrived at 12:30pm Managed to get in within 15 mins and food served at 12:50pm I came without reservation coz I saw long queue of posts on XHS if u come here 7-9am peak hours . So I decided to come by just by luck , but luckily they took us in as last table . ( that day was heavy rain) Last order is 1 pm . Order : Cream salsiccia with scone Financier Homemade ham & Camembert sandwich Fuglen black coffee The food really taste good But if you ask me to bear with the crazy queue I think I will give up Service is ok. Communication abit hard . I stood at cashier for 3 mins and the staffs didn’t even bother me 🥴 until I need to speak “ halo ???” Then only they notice my existence.

It’s really good. And the ambiance is cool and chic. I didn’t wait in line luckily, as I went right around 1pm (lunch goes until 2pm). Some of the baked goods they were sold out of at that time, but they were still serving Dutch pancakes, which is what I wanted. It was delicious, and I’m writing this review with a watering mouth. The prosciutto and burrata cheese just complimented each other so well, then the sweetness of the maple syrup just took it over the top. I had a pour over coffee also, with beans from a local coffee shop, that completed the meal. For me, it’s something I’ll come back for again and again.

(BREAKFAST/BRUNCH menu): in Yoyogi Uehara is hugely popular for its weekend breakfast, especially the Dutch pancake. The café itself is cozy and the pancake was truly delicious, but be prepared: we joined the online queue at 8:30am and didn’t get seated until after noon. They do mention the pancake takes 30 minutes, but by 10am, new guests weren’t even allowed to line up. It’s a lovely and comforting meal, but with the long wait, high price, and pastries/other menu items selling out early, it might be best enjoyed once the hype dies down…or if you already have other plans in the area while the phone lets you informed about the queue.

TLDR if I could only get one thing it would be a croissant (chocolate or not) fresh from the oven. Very reasonable wait after I arrived for breakfast around 8:30 on Saturday and added my name to the list. The staff set up a little heater outside for the line. Only the scones were sold out by the time I was seated. The staff was baking additional batches of croissants throughout my visit. Beautiful and comfortable space with vinyl records playing on the speakers. It's a wonderful spot for breakfast and the croissants are especially incredible. If you've got the extra time the Dutch pancake is worth the wait.

When visiting Japan I was anticipating great food... sushi, ramen, gyoza, kaiseki, street foods,etc. essentially Japanese cuisine. What I wasn't expecting was the amazing international food scene from Italian to French, you name it and chances are the Japanese have mastered it. Path is no exception. If you were to judge a restaurant by it's menu, you may feel underwhelmed by the offerings but Path uses just a handful of quality ingredients to turn a simple item into something extraordinary. Case and point the Dutch pancake. This savory dish takes approximately 30 minutes to prepare but it is well worth the wait. The burrata is baked in the center of the pancake topped with thinly shaved prosciutto in a hot cast iron skillet. To counter the savory flavors maple syrup is served on the side which allows you to add just the perfect amount of sweetness to satisfy your palette. Other favorites you should try; the ham and Camembert sandwich. Yes essentially this is a ham and cheese sandwich but it will be the best ham and cheese sandwich you've ever eaten. While waiting for a table I was able to watch one of the cooks prepare the dough for pain au chocolat. He meticulously rolled out the dough, cut it into perfect rectangles and hand rolled two pieces of dark chocolate into each. I wish I could describe to you how it tasted but it was sold out by the time we were seated. I can only assume that they taste as good as they look!

This was one of my first stops while on vacation. It was recommended by some stranger and they did not disappoint. I had the Dutch pancake and my friend stole most of it

The best pastries I have tasted! The sandwich and croissant were delicious! Don't miss out on trying this place if you are visiting!

I'm sure other things on their menu are also incredible, but we went here twice while on vacation and both times we got the dutch pancake. Do yourself a favor and do the same thing (at least on a first visit) because it is unbelievably delicious and savory. It's a small cafe and it can have quite a long wait if you go on the weekend or past "breakfast-hour" during the week, but it is absolutely worth it. There is seating at the bar that looks into the kitchen, so you can watch the cooks expertly handle their craft while you sip on some really excellent coffee, and there is fresh pastry being worked on all of the time. I'd walk 10 miles barefoot through broken glass just to get a smell of those fresh croissants baking in the oven again...

This was one of our highlights in Tokyo. So good we went back twice. Path does European inspired cuisine with that perfect Japanese sensibility of highlighting the ingredients rather than masking them. From the dutch pancake with ricotta and cured ham to the croissants and kale salad, everything we had was fresh, not overtly heavy, and done very well. The local micro beer and biodynamic wine list were icing on the cake!

Their dutch pancake is just amazing! Do yourself a favor and try their speciality dish at least once! It is so good that i must eat it everytime i visit tokyo. Although it is a small cafe, but their dish is exceptional, unique and definitely worth a visit

We cannot recommend Path highly enough....every dish was cooked to perfection....the venue was cozy and nurturing...the owner was friendly and accommodating...a perfect way to spend our last evening in Tokyo.
