Flawlessly combining the bizarre with the cute, Kawaii Monster Cafe is the essential Harajuku experience rolled into one edible, rainbow-colored package. As soon as you enter, you’re presented with visual explosions & larger-than-life decorations, and to top it all off, the food is equally as eye-popping.
They’re known to come up with special menu items during special times of the year. This past spring, they had a cute-meets-Easter-meets-sakura spring fair, and even a “genderless” Valentine’s Day menu in support of LGBT couples.
This Halloween, they collaborated with a just as fanciful place: Alice’s Fantasy Restaurant. The Alice in Wonderland themed restaurant has branches across Tokyo and one in Osaka. Each branch has a unique name that gives you a hint of what’s inside, and each one will make you feel like you’ve been transported straight to the beloved Lewis Carroll storybook.
With two very whimsical concepts coming together, it’s no surprise that the collaboration menu looks like something the Mad Hatter would come up with himself. The Kawaii Monster Cafe will serve all collaboration menu items, but some items will differ between the Alice’s Fantasy Restaurant branches in Tokyo. You can see some of the eerie Halloween offerings below.
Alice's Halloween Caesar Salad, 1,360 yen
The classic caesar salad gets a Halloween twist with purple carrots, pumpkins, and a silhouette of Alice garnishing the vegetables.

MAD POP Halloween, 800 yen
Lastly, it wouldn’t be a party without the Mad Hatter himself. These non-alcoholic drinks come in three flavors, with each Alice’s in Fantasy restaurant serving a unique one. Ginza’s “Alice in Wonderland” restaurant serves the strawberry pink drink; Shinjuku’s “Alice in Picture Book Land” serves the blueberry version, while Ikebukuro’s “Alice in the Land of the Old Castle” serves the bright green melon drink.
