Morning breakfast at Cerise, at Conrad Tokyo in Japan, offered a comprehensive selection of Western and Eastern style morning delights
Breakfast at Cerise at Conrad Tokyo, over the course of our stay, was a delight. The buffet selection was comprehensive, with a selection of delights that touched every traveler’s desires.
The views from my favorite dining room area were absolutely gorgeous. I loved the floor to ceiling windows and the views of Tokyo before me.
Dress Code
One note of decorum that I noticed is that the staff of Cerise seem to have and enforce an arbitrary dress code.
From what I noticed, you cannot come to breakfast in sweats or excessive athletic leisure. Over the course of our breakfast mornings, I watched as staff members approached certain guests to alert them that they would have to leave the restaurant to return with better outfits, suitable for dining.
One man did not take too kindly to the request and gave verbal push back. He pointed to his pants – which were read sweatpants with a stripe – and acted like he didn’t care for the staff member’s request. He acted like the price he paid for sweatpants discounted the rules. It was wild.
On another day, another couple agreed and left the restaurant to change their clothes.
Overall, it was just all fascinating to watch.
The food
We were always seated in the main area, next to the floor to ceiling windows. Personally, this was my preferred area, as I could see the beautiful high rises of Simbashi before me.
However, I also noticed that other guests walked to and from the buffet from seating in Kazahana – the restaurant across the hallway.
So, definitely request where you would like to sit, if they try and sit you in an non preferred area.
Minor selections from the buffet changed daily. On one particular day, I greatly enjoyed the dumplings. On another, the MANGO PANCAKE (Mango, crème brûlée, mango sauce) with crème brulee topping was my favorite. On the last day, I tried the KEBAB SHASHUKA (lamb kebab, tomato, coriander) and it was also A+.
Honestly, it was a pleasure to start the day, relaxing and eating breakfast at Cerise. It was yet another suburb aspect of staying at Conrad Tokyo.
