About

Ladrio sits in the narrow lane behind the Sanseido bookstore in the Jimbocho book town. The dark brick interior, chanson music and old wooden furniture have changed little in decades. It serves Vienna coffee, light meals by day and drinks in the evening, making it a classic stop between bookshop visits.
