Hyperlocal Tokyo

Visit Date: September 2022 This is a cafe located in Omotesando, just a 2-3 minute walk from Omotesando Station. It's operated by Lexus, the luxury car brand of Toyota. I went there around 12:00 pm on a Saturday. It seems the 1st floor is for cafe and the 2nd floor is for lunch, but the 2nd floor was full, so I used the cafe space. The cafe was about 30-40% full. Today, I had the following: ✔︎ Iced Coffee Frappe (¥690) ✔︎ Shrimp Cutlet Sandwich (¥590) I was expecting the iced coffee frappe to be like the ones you get at convenience stores like FamilyMart, but it was actually more coffee-like and less sweet. Maybe I should have just gotten a cafe latte (laughs). The shrimp cutlet sandwich was impressive! It was packed with plump shrimp, and the toast was crispy and hot. It was simple but very satisfying. Considering the location in Omotesando, the prices are quite reasonable. Even the lunch sets, which are on the higher end, were around ¥1300, so it seems like a good value. The back of the 1st floor is a Lexus exhibition space. It's a good place to take a break. Thank you for the meal! (^^)♪

I visit Intersect every month for lunch! Previously, they had a rotating menu with meat, fish, and vegetable set meals, so I always looked forward to trying something new. This time, they seem to have changed their lunch format to a course meal. The appetizer (octopus), main course (sea bream), and dessert (peach) were incredibly delicious! The quality of the ingredients was evident in the texture, temperature, and aroma, all of which were superb. However, there was one negative point. The soup (butternut squash) was quite thick and had tapioca in it, which wasn't really my taste. Why tapioca? Why is the pumpkin soup so thick? I had so many questions about the soup that it made me a little apprehensive about the main course and appetizer. (The main course and appetizer were delicious, though!) I hope they consider making some improvements. I used to go there frequently because I loved the previous lunch format, so I think I'll be going less often now. Also, I personally think it might be difficult to invite friends for lunch due to the price. These are just my personal opinions. The service and the overall experience are excellent, so I highly recommend checking it out!

I visited for lunch. The second floor had a calm atmosphere and I was able to enjoy my meal leisurely. The olive oil for dipping bread was a bit disappointing… There are other things I could nitpick about, but in terms of enjoying the space, I think it’s worth visiting at least once.

The restaurant doesn't have a lot of seating, so I recommend making a reservation if you want to be sure to get a table. The artistic wall monument on the stairs is impressive, but the overall atmosphere and presentation of the food are truly exceptional! The lunch menu is also quite good considering the location. The staff is very attentive and friendly, making for a comfortable dining experience.⭐︎

A must-visit for car enthusiasts! The food is delicious and stylish. A friend recommended this place, so I decided to check it out for a special occasion. Upon arrival, I was escorted to the second floor. The interior is truly Lexus-worthy, with car parts adorning the walls of the staircase. Car lovers will be in their element! I expected to see car parts throughout the dining area, but it wasn't the case. It had a more upscale hotel lobby vibe. The target age group seems to be slightly older. The spacing between tables is generous, allowing for comfortable conversations without feeling crowded. 👏 This time, I had the mackerel and chicken dishes. Personally, I preferred the mackerel! The accompanying burdock pickle, while stylish, was a bit hard to judge in terms of taste... haha. For the average male, the meal would be about 70% full. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant 😊
