Aux Bacchanales is a French brasserie and cafe that has been a fixture of the Harajuku dining scene since 1995. The Harajuku branch, now housed on the third floor of WITH HARAJUKU, offers open-air terrace seating with a view towards the entrance of Meiji Shrine and the newly rebuilt Harajuku Station, making it one of the most pleasantly situated spots for a meal in the area.The menu covers classic French brasserie staples: steak frites, roast lamb, omelettes and croque-monsieur, alongside a boulangerie selection of fresh breads and viennoiseries. The cafe side serves coffee and pastries throughout the day, while the adjoining bar pours wine and spirits at prices modelled on a Parisian neighbourhood cafe. Creme brulee is a house speciality.
Just one minute on foot from JR Harajuku Station, the location is ideal for a meal before or after a visit to Meiji Shrine or a stroll through Yoyogi Park. The terrace is particularly inviting in spring and autumn, though the indoor seating maintains the same warm brasserie atmosphere year-round.

A fancy bistro, with delicious food and professional service. It's located conveniently right opposite Harajuku JR station in an shopping arcade. Had the souffle omurice which was very fluffy and paired well with the demiglaze sauce. I also couldnt resist the french fries which was crispy and tasted good. The seating was comfortable and decadently furnished. A great place for lunch.

The food was really nice when i ve been there last spring. The staff was not taking care of us tho. We waited a really long time to take the order and to get back and when we asked for suggestions they said they can t and they will be back later when we decided.
