Boro Bistro
2024 Jan 13
Had a very pleasant lunch at Boro Bistro today! The restaurant itself is cozy and a bit of a jazzy/boho style, quirky but comfortable.

There is also outdoor seating with heaters and blankets, but as we had 2 babies today we opted for indoor seating, and we also booked in advance. We also had 2 high chairs for the babies, and space for 2 prams to park nearby. Staff were super kind and friendly with our baby and kept coming to say hello - she was soaking up the attention!

The food was really delicious. The portions are a tad small, but reasonable given the prices - suppose they are called small plates on purpose! Our favourite was snail, padron peppers, the cod and the barley risotto. The beef had an amazing mushroom sauce but was a tad chewier than what we would have liked. Mulled wine was superb, like straight out of an Xmas market!

They have a baby changing table near the toilets at the bottom, however they would need to walk down steps of stairs. The place is really central near the Borough market but a bit hard to get to if you cannot use stairs. It is technically step free with ramps, but not easy with bigger or a double stroller.

Overall we had a really great time here, would absolutely recommend.
MISLEADING NAME: This is not a museum, only a small store front in front of an office. You can even see office staff from the store.

It is 10-12mins away from Asakusa station and opposite direction of the Senso-ji temple, surrounding area is residential with literally nothing. The place is hard to find.

Origami at the shop were pretty, but definitely not worth a separate visit exclusively. The origami paper sold there were quite cheap (dont think includes tax) but not very pretty, just standard colours and basic designs. I would not buy anything here.
