Finally got to eat at Bills in Shichirigahama!

This place is somehow known for having “The Worlds Best Breakfast”. I’m not sure if it really lives up to that standard but they sure do have some tasty food. Since we knew this place gets VERY crowded on the weekends, we went here during the week on a Friday hoping to avoid the crowds. We got there at around 1:30pm and were seated at 3:15pm… It ended up being almost a 2hr wait but we went to another cafe to kill time so it was fine.

Bills is located at a fabulous location. They have a great open view of the ocean and it’s very airy and bright. The cafe is decorated beautifully as well and I loved the feeling of the place. We ordered their famous ricotta cheese pancakes with banana and honeycomb butter (1400yen), Sweetcorn fritters with roasted tomato, spinach, bacon and avocado salad (1400yen), and Parmesan crumbed chicken schnitzel with spicy slaw (1500yen). They were all delicious and made us want to come back to try their scrambled eggs which is another one of their popular dishes.

I thought this place might just be all hype but now I can see why people love it. If only they didn’t have such a long wait I’d be there much more often.

{  Taiyaki Hiiragi  }

Taiyaki Hiiragi

Taiyaki is an authentic and very distinct Japanese fish-shaped dessert. The most common filling is red bean paste that is made from sweetened azuki beans. Hiiragi is a small shop located in Ebisu that has Taiyaki with a subtle level of sweetness. If you eat it right when it’s freshly made, it’s perfectly crisp on the outside and the combination of the hot redbean filling with the cake surrounding it tastes so good. But remember, the key is to eat it when it’s freshly made since it’s crucial to have the beans be hot on the inside.

If you want to give Taiyaki a try, check this place out.

Patisserie Cote Du Bois

This small patisserie is located very close to the Ghibli Musuem. They only have 10 seats and they serve the most deliciously perfect sweets. We tried the ‘Jardin Fraisier’ (いちごのショートケーキ) for 450yen as well as the ‘Seasonal Fruit Tart’ (季節のタルト) for 480yen. They were both made to perfection and left us wanting more… Wish they made the cake size larger…sigh*

{  Melon pan Kyuei  }

Want a freshly baked melon pan? This Melon pan shop is located on the same street as the monjyayaki place I blogged about in Tsukishima. Even if you’re full after your monjyayaki, you’ll definitely want to make room for this dessert. This freshly baked melon pan is crispy on the outside but fluffy on the inside! Since it is freshly baked, I recommend eating it right away! 160yen for one.

ここのメロンパンは外がカリカリで中がふわふわです！月島でもんじゃ焼きを食べた後にここで焼きたてのメロンパンをデザートにどうでしょう？おなかいっぱいでもパクッと食べれちゃいます！その場で（あるいは買った当日に）食べることをオススメします。ひとつ１６０円。
