Domani

At Domani, breakfast comes with a choice of bread or a Japanese-style set. One diner who tried the bread set reported a small croissant and a slightly thick slice of toast, served with salad and egg. The croissant was warmed until crisp, while butter and strawberry jam came on the side for the toast. It is a simple combination that lets you enjoy each bread in a different way. Another diner noted that the egg was piping hot and looked more like a fried egg than a chilled boiled one. Visitors have reported that breakfast was served until noon, making it an option for a late breakfast or brunch.

Lunch brings the pleasure of seeing what the daily set includes. On one visit, the main dish was fried white fish, with a crisp coating and fluffy interior; the small side dishes were also said to pair well with rice. On another day, a diner had chicken tatsuta-age, Japanese-style marinated fried chicken, with two small side dishes. The daily special varies, while the regular menu includes hamburg steak with rice, salad and soup, as well as curry rice served with salad.

For dessert or a pause between meals, there are sweets to tempt you in. The pumpkin pudding has been described by diners as rich and firm in texture, and is listed at ¥550. Other choices include a parfait combining coffee jelly and pudding, and a matcha shiratama parfait with soft rice-flour dumplings. Domani is on the 2 floor of Shinjuku Gochiso Building, along Abenosuji in Tennoji Ward. Its café menu offers options for breakfast, lunch or a coffee break, with choices for different appetites and times of day.
