CHEESE & DORIA. sweets at LUMINE EST Shinjuku

CHEESE & DORIA. sweets is a doria, gratin and dessert specialist on the 7th floor of Lumine Est Shinjuku, moments from JR Shinjuku Station.

CHEESE & DORIA. sweets is a casual dining concept from the Saint-Marc group, located on the 7th floor of Lumine Est Shinjuku directly above JR Shinjuku Station's east exit. The restaurant specialises in oven-baked doria rice plates, gratins and "omudoria" dishes, all finished tableside with bubbling melted cheese. It is a handy spot for shoppers and commuters wanting a comforting, cheese-led meal without leaving the station complex.

The menu is built around rich, creamy cheese preparations, with signature options including seafood doria, mushroom gratin and seasonal sweet offerings such as baked cheesecake and parfaits. Some dishes arrive with a small candle underneath to keep the cheese melting smoothly, and a takeaway dessert selection is available for those in a hurry. With 51 seats, the dining room is compact but bright, and the balance of savoury mains and indulgent sweets makes it popular with families and afternoon snackers alike.

Opening hours run from 11:00 to 22:00, matching the Lumine Est building schedule, with last orders around 21:00 for food. The restaurant is a one-minute walk from the JR Shinjuku Central East and East ticket gates, making it one of the most accessible sit-down meals in the station. Reservations can be made online, and takeaway sweets are available from a dedicated counter.
