Among the highlights is the much-celebrated afternoon tea, perfect for special occasions or simply treating yourself. Each meticulously curated tier offers an array of sumptuous treats, from exquisite finger sandwiches to delectable pastries.

Even those with dietary restrictions will find accommodating service, ensuring an unforgettable savory journey.

While the café is generally calm and sophisticated, some guests have noted that the service can be slow during busy periods, particularly when trying to order additional drinks. Nevertheless, the warm ambiance and exquisite offerings, combined with touches like the beautiful Noritake tea sets, create a lovely backdrop for any gathering. According to customer reviews, even the complimentary basket of freshly baked bread delights with its variety. And each plate is a visual feast, presenting lovingly prepared food that elevates your tea experience.

For anyone looking to enjoy a refined afternoon tea or a quiet moment over a favorite beverage, The Lobby Lounge at JR Tower Hotel Nikko Sapporo is an exceptional destination.

This restaurant is one of the few, if not the only restaurant in Sapporo which has BYO (Bring Your Own). This means you can buy a bottle of wine elsewhere and bring it to the restaurant to drink. There is no service charge for opening and pouring your wine. Wine can be purchased from anywhere. Close by, wine is for sale at Jupiters and at Daimaru B1. The food is reasonably priced with set menus and individual dishes such as salads, cheese platters and other dishes that go well with wine. The daytime menu differs from the evening menu. The staff are friendly and the service very good.

【祝・アフタヌーンティー デビュー〜】 とても贅沢な時間を過ごしてきました。 昨年から 〝行きたいね〜〟 と娘と話してて、計画・予約したのが2ヶ月前。 HPの写真で見るより豪華で可愛らしくて、とても美味しい軽食&デザートを頂きました。 も〜感動ものです! 予約必須(その方が確実)かもしれません。 予めアレルギーなどを伝えておくと別の食材や果物に変えてくださり、場合によっては当日・店頭の写真を見て苦手なものが入っていたら対応して頂けます。 下から順に食べて行くのがマナーとされていますが、自分の食べたい様にして構わないんじゃないかな? と思います。 ただ、食べすすめていく内に 〝意味がある事なんだ〟 と思える気持ちになりました。 一人 3,500円(編集が直らず2,000〜3,000のままになってますが...) 安いとは言えないかもしれませんが、お店の方の接客も素晴らしく優雅な時間を過ごせた事を考えたら、とてもリーズナブルな気がしました。 ラウンジのスタッフの方々には本当に良くして頂き、季節毎に内容は変わるみたいなのでまたいつかリピートしたいと思います。 ソフトドリンクはコーヒー・紅茶・ジュースなど、結構な種類がありました。 フリードリンクなのは有り難かったですね。 ありがとうございました。 ご馳走様でした!

アフタヌーンティーを予約して伺いました。入口に居たスタッフは感じが良かったのです。店内は広くゆったりしています。他の方も仰ってるようにフリーフローのドリンクを注文したくてもスタッフが少なく離れた所に居たりで、なかなか頼めません。近くに来たタイミングで声を出してその度に呼ばないと注文出来ませんでした。厨房の近くの台でスタッフが2人居て、何か作業していましたが楽しそうに話をしながらで接客はしていませんでした。ならせめてQRコードで注文が出来たら大きな声を出さなくても済むのに…と思いました。食べ物は美味しかったです。最初に運ばれて来る籠に入ったパンは3種類ですが、1種類だけお代わり出来ます。プレートやティーカップはNoritakeでとても可愛いです。

I have had afternoon tea at high end prices and places. So I mean it when I say that the food is exceptional for the price of $2800yen. Make sure you come early before 1130am as there may be long queues during lunch time.
