alice in wonderland restaurant

My friend really wanted to go to the Alice in Wonderland restaurant for her birthday, so we trekked out to Ginza to see what all the fuss was about. (I took these pictures with my cellphone so sorry about the quality/darkness!)














The decor was amazing. We walked through pages of the book, the roof had giant cards pasted on it, and we sat in a teacup. I didn't get a picture, but the waitresses were all dressed like the characters (mostly Alice, blond wig and all) and each time a course came out, they would warn us of a potential side effect ("If you drink this, you may become super small! Or a giant!" and so on). The pop up book in the fourth picture was actually the menu.

The magic stops there, however, because the food was mediocre at best. For 3000 yen per person for a course meal that was barely enough food (mediocre or not), I don't think I'll go back. But if you just want to try a themed restaurant that's not too creepy or weird (Nic mentioned a prison themed restaurant that just seems too grotesque!), this would be perfect! (Seriously, the decor alone was mind-boggling.)

Address: Taiyo Bldg, 5F, 8-8-5 Ginza, Chou-ku, Tokyo 104-0061
