About this place
A short walk from Gotanda and Meguro, in the quiet residential enclave of Ikedayama, gicca brings together an artisan grocery stocked with specialty pantry goods and a spacious, relaxed dining area. The interior is bright and airy, with high ceilings that create an unhurried, comfortable atmosphere for lunch or an afternoon tea break.
For a satisfying midday meal, the colorful special lunch plate is the centerpiece. A generous spread of vegetable appetizers—such as carrot râpées, caponata, and potato salad—surrounds fresh salad greens dressed to your choice, offering a variety of delicate flavors in small portions. Accompanied by a grilled meat or fish main dish and warm bread, it turns an ordinary lunch into a thoughtful, composed experience.
After your meal or during cafe hours, the cake showcase is hard to overlook. The counter displays fruit tarts, classic strawberry shortcakes, and an indulgent mont-blanc studded with marron glacé, among other fresh seasonal pastries. Paired with freshly brewed coffee or a caffe latte, the desserts offer a balanced, rich pause in the afternoon.
Throughout the shop, shelves are stocked with curated seasonings, sweets, and prepared deli items, making it easy to browse for gifts or home provisions after dining. Whether stopping in for a multi-course lunch, an evening dinner, or a relaxed coffee, gicca accommodates visits across different times of day.
