Hyperlocal Tokyo

Tea Time After Shopping I was seated at a window-side sofa, which allowed for a relaxing experience. The high ceilings and comfortable temperature made it unnecessary to wear a jacket. The cafe was filled with people enjoying conversations, creating a relaxed atmosphere perfect for catching up with friends. I highly recommend the dessert sets: the mousse for 1500 yen and the tart for 1600 yen. Both were delicious.

I visited this restaurant for lunch with friends on a weekday. It's located in Hikarie, making it easy to meet up. The restaurant has an open and airy atmosphere, which is great. There's also a terrace that looked very pleasant. Inside, there are tables, sofas, and various seating arrangements, making it suitable for families with children, business meetings, and girls' nights out. It seems particularly family-friendly. I was surprised to see it almost fully booked even on a weekday afternoon. It's probably best to make a reservation. The lunch menu includes a delicious appetizer buffet and a drink bar. While the appetizer selection isn't huge, there's a good variety of vegetables, which I enjoyed. There were also fruits and even a type of bread. The pasta and desserts were also delicious. This restaurant is very convenient and I'll definitely be back!

The space is spacious and pleasant. The sofas are comfortable and inviting. The salad bar features a colorful array of fresh vegetables, and the food is delicious. Although there is a 2-hour time limit, we were able to relax and enjoy ourselves because the restaurant was booked for a private event starting at 3 pm.

This is a chic Italian restaurant located on the 11th floor of Shibuya Hikarie. I made a reservation and it was definitely the right call. The interior was dimly lit and spacious, but it was packed with customers. There were many international guests, which gave it a somewhat exotic vibe. The seating was generous and comfortable, allowing for a relaxing experience. For an additional ¥1,000, they offered a commemorative plate, which was very stylish (see photo). I think this place would be perfect for celebrating with friends or acquaintances in Shibuya. The portions were on the smaller side, but the food was refined and delicious.

I made a reservation for 12:00 PM on April 14, 2024 (Sunday). I was seated at a spacious table by the window, and the bright, open space was wonderful. There were five lunch menu options to choose from, and all of them came with a deli buffet, soft drink bar, and dessert. I chose the Pasta B (¥2,500). The buffet included salads with vegetables, tomatoes, oranges, beets, tuna salad, and baguette. I was happy to be able to eat lots of vegetables since I've been lacking them lately! All of the deli salads were delicious and very satisfying. The pasta was a ribbon-shaped cream pasta with zucchini and bacon, and it was very tasty. The portion size was just right. For dessert, I chose the praline milk mousse. There was a two-hour time limit, and when I was rushing to leave at 2:00 PM, the staff kindly told me that it was okay to stay a little longer. I took them up on their offer and stayed for another 30 minutes. The company that runs this restaurant also operates other stylish restaurants in Tokyo, so I highly recommend checking them out! (Bills, THE APPLO, and Chiringuito Escriba are some of the well-known ones.) It was a very satisfying lunch, and I had a great time with my friend. Thank you for the delicious meal!
