The Earl - Tokyo

No vegan option written on menu. Vegetarian options can be made vegan. The guy seemed to know what vegan was. Tasty stuff.

The staff were all foreign so good English was spoken. The veggy sandwich was very tasty, not very big for a meal though.

I found The Earl totally by chance when I was actually looking for another restaurant in the area. It was empty; it was late Halloween night 2014, so most people were in Roppongi partying, but the owner, one of the waiters and his wife and kids were there enjoying a movie night (I believe Ghostbusters was on). They were all super friendly and welcoming lovely to chat to and made me feel right at home. I joined them for the movie night and ordered the California Bombshell sandwich (avocado, alfalfa sprouts, lettuce, kumara potato, red onion, cheese, poppy seeds) and tomato rosemary soup and it was divine seriously one of the best veg sandwiches I've ever had. They are pricey, though (there are four veg ones to choose from and range from 1,150-1,300 yen...crazy since you could get 2 or 3 meals at some soba or udon places for that price) so personally The Earl would be somewhere I go as a treat, rather than a regular place. A shame though, because the food is so tasty and the staff treated me like family (they were dining on little hotties' when I was there and graciously gave me a veggie chili one for free)! In fact, once I was done eating, I went with the waiter's wife and his kids to Roppongi to check out the parade' of Halloween costumes....a lovely and memorable experience after a great dinner at The Earl!

The sandwiches are very tasty, and it is easy to customise them for different dietary needs. The menu is detailed and in English. The only negative was the price more than 1000 yen for a small sandwich

I had the chickpea pack, I asked the man at the switch when it was vegan and he said he could make it vegan (so likely ask before you order). it was a good size, and really good! had it with the frits that were also delicious (they were wedges). the people were also super friendly! fair warning – food is a tiny bit on the expensive side.
