About this place
At brunch, toast sandwiches and spaghettini are the main choices at Marronnier. Both come as set meals, so you can decide whether you fancy a lighter bread-based option or a pasta-centred meal. The toast sandwich brunch pairs a bacon omelette toast sandwich with potato salad and jelly, with coffee, tea or orange juice to drink. One diner who ordered it recalled that the bread was toasted just right and the filling held together well; they also found the accompanying potato salad and jelly carefully made. It is a combination to enjoy a little at a time, rather than just a sandwich on its own.
For pasta, the spaghettini brunch comes in carbonara, tomato or aubergine and bacon varieties. The set includes bread, salad, dessert and a choice of coffee, tea or juice, and is listed at ¥1,200. Some diners have remarked on the homemade feel of the dish and the gentle seasoning that lets the ingredients’ flavours come through, including in the carbonara they chose. With a drink included, it suits a lunch to savour at an unhurried pace.
For breakfast or a lighter meal, there is also a toast set. Available until around 3, it includes toast, scrambled egg, potato salad, tofu salad and jelly, with a choice of coffee, tea, orange juice or apple juice. The Marronnier toast set, available until around 3 as well, adds soup and bacon. Choose between them depending on how substantial a set you would like.
Afterwards, you could linger over coffee or tea, or choose something sweet. Tea is served in a pot, and the menu includes caramel vanilla ice cream, a chocolate cake parfait and a Fuku tea parfait. One visitor remembers the ice cream alongside a cake being shaped like a rose. If you opt for coffee and cake, the presentation may be part of the pleasure.
One diner who enjoyed brunch solo described sitting at the counter and looking out at the greenery. Visitors have also noted an old sewing machine and a large wall clock inside, details that make this a café where you may want to stay a while after eating. Payment is cash only. Brunch sets are listed as available until around 3, so bear the timing in mind if you are coming for a meal.
