kitchen & cafe GARE GARE

Kitchen & Cafe GARE GARE is a compact garage-style cafe in the Iwase area of Toyama City, known for seafood-forward lunches and sweets. The spot blends local Toyama Bay flavors—like shiro-ebi (white shrimp)—with a casual café menu.

The café doubles as an owner’s car display, so you’ll often see high-end cars in the garage area. Hours and daily menu updates are posted on the venue’s Instagram account before visiting.

You’ll visit a small seaside cafe that mixes a garage showroom vibe with casual dining.

• Order seafood-focused lunch items: white-shrimp dishes, seafood bowls and a shiro-ebi tempura-style burger.
• Sit in a compact dining area with some low/child-friendly seating and café tables.
• See the owner’s cars displayed in the garage space—photogenic for automotive fans.
• Buy cafe sweets and pancakes, and enjoy coffee or specialty drinks while watching the Iwase neighbourhood.
