Mon Cher

Arriving warm at the table, the morning toast here is generously thick, saturated with fragrant, melted butter that immediately whets the appetite. Set in Asakusabashi 4-chome, Mon Cher is a traditional coffee house where soft background music drifts through a quiet, soothing space. Morning sets feature freshly brewed hot or iced coffee alongside scrambled eggs and bacon on breakfast plates, or sandwiches layered with warm folded omelet, offering a calm and steady start to the day.

Toasted Sandwiches and Specialty Napolitan for Lunch

The midday menu shifts focus to an extensive sandwich lineup. Highlights include the house-favorite ham and egg toast sandwich, toasted ham draped in 4 varieties of melted natural cheese, and chicken cutlet breaded and fried to order. Another signature is the Napolitan spaghetti tossed with 4 types of mushrooms—king oyster, maitake, shiitake, and buna-shimeji—simmered into a gentle house-made tomato sauce, served with complimentary extra-large portions on request.

Payment is cash-only, and the quiet dining room suits solo visitors looking to eat in peace. The drinks list keeps classic kissaten traditions alive with old-school iced tea, vibrant melon cream sodas, and concentrated fruit smoothies, making it easy to match a glass to your mood.
