I’ve been thinking about good food recently and decided it was time to indulge in a rare splurge. I went for lunch at the Bvlgari cafe on the second floor above their shop on Ometesando street in Harajuku.
There I enjoyed the burger you see above. The meat is Matsuzaka Beef which looks about like this before it was ground up:
As you can see in the above image, it is roughly $250 per lb when purchased at a supermarket in sirloin form. The amount of fat marbling in that beef is epic!
On top of the beef was a grilled piece of foie gras with a small piece of gold leaf on it which you can see in the first image. I paid a ridiculous $45 for this burger but it was damn good. Not something I’ll do again soon.
Overall the cafe was quite good with great service and both an attractive atmosphere and clientele. Highly recommended if you’re shopping in Omotesando and are willing to spend the cash on some great food.
