About this place
Starting the morning at an early-opening cafe with a warm bowl of soup and bread sourced from a neighbourhood bakery makes for a reassuring start to the day. At Cafe Dining&Bar FLAT in Sumida Ward's Narihira district, diners can ease into the morning over sandwiches or breakfast plates featuring fried eggs, bacon, and salad, paired with Costa Coffee or a flat white.
Come lunchtime, the kitchen puts together sandwich plates made with sliced white loaf from nearby Narihira Kimuraya, with filling options including egg salad, potato salad, and BLT. Accompanied by salad, a drink, and a petite dessert, these midday plates share the menu with more substantial, cafe-defying fare such as udon paired with onigiri, or half-size rice bowl combos served alongside simmered beef tendon curry.
The wider lineup extends from cafe staples like omurice and various udon preparations to evening bites such as simmered beef tendon and appetiser platters, making the counter and tables an easy stop for a casual drink towards the end of the day. With house-made pudding and chiffon cake also on hand to enjoy over tea at the indoor tables, the venue fits naturally into a daily routine or a relaxed break between strolls around Tokyo Skytree.
