01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Venture past the livelier stretches of Shibuya Station into Udagawacho, and Café BOHEMIA emerges in a quiet pocket tucked away from the district's bustle. Step inside, and soft illumination from colorful Turkish lamps suspended from the ceiling and resting on tables greets you, creating an exotic atmosphere that feels thousands of miles from central Tokyo. Outside, an airy open terrace invites you to linger over a sunny afternoon or unwind in the evening breeze.
Fragrant tagines and casual lunch choices
When it comes to a proper meal, the menu draws on North African and Mediterranean influences. A standout is the chicken thigh and preserved-lemon tagine, gently steamed in traditional earthenware until the meat and vegetables turn meltingly tender, pairing zesty citrus with warming spices. For midday visitors, casual lunch alternatives such as tandoori chicken platters and hamburger steak sets offer satisfying, everyday choices depending on your mood.
Dessert, drinks, and late-night conversation
For an afternoon break or sweet finish, desserts like a rich gâteau au chocolat or tart rare cheesecake pair naturally with a generous café latte or coffee. On the terrace, some guests enjoy shisha while nursing a drink, lending the space the easy charm of an evening bar backed by wine and cocktails. From peaceful daytime lunches through to late-night conversations, it remains a dependable haven in the depths of Shibuya.
