Zebra is a comfortable spot to relax for an hour or two - you can chat with friends or read a book while enjoying the view of the ships and boats out on Tokyo Bay. People bring bicycles, dogs, babies, dogs in baby carriages - there's plenty of room for everyone in the sprawling open space. An open-air terrace on one end accommodates people with pets, while seats at the other end offer a....

It feels just like a Taiwanese night market during the Lantern festival at Taiwan Yoichi 101, but fortunately without the pungent aroma of the stinky tofu stalls. Colorful lanterns, check. Friendly staff, check. Odd tables and plastic stools, check. Delicious small plates at reasonable prices, check. Taiwan beer and cocktails, check!
For a tiny place that seats about thirty people,....

Lien serves excellent modern French cuisine with a flair. They also offer a good selection of affordable wines from around the world (not just France), with eleven wines poured by the glass.

Pretty, colorful terrines are a fun way to start off a meal and an....

The four-course lunch is a great deal, especially if you have a hearty appetite. A very appetizing array of starters is followed by a hefty pizza or pasta, then....

"Asian-style deli" is the unifying theme at this all-day dining cafe, where you can custom-assemble a meal from hot and cold dishes of your choosing. They also serve chicken burgers (in six varieties!), pastas and pho.

Attached to fancy French restaurant Bertrand Larcher, the Bar a Cidre is a great place to explore French ciders along with modern Breton cuisine. The food is first rate, with very appetizing starters like roast cauliflower in Bechamel sauce and leeks in vinaigrette sauce, and substantial main dishes like roast Daisen chicken and roast salmon. They also serve buckwheat galettes - both....

Malaysian-style snacks and light meals are the draw at this casual cafe, which opened in Bakurocho in summer 2023. With its down-home snacks and sweet drinks, Malay Kampung Kopitiam (it means "Village Coffeeshop" in Malay) is the perfect pick-me-up after a stroll around the department stores of Nihonbashi or the art galleries of Bakurocho.
The traditional Malaysian breakfast of Nasi....

The "Mixed" pizza at this New York-style pizzeria is piled so high with delicious ingredients that we needed a fork to manage it. Garlic cloves, big chunks of onion, semi-raw green peppers, spicy pepperoni slices - each bite full of pleasant surprises.
Other varieties like Mushroom, Cheese, and Italian Sausage & Green Pepper are also toppings-heavy and quite satisfying. Jalapeno &....

Located in the quiet back streets of Omotesando and running for more than two decades, this trendy little cafe qualifies as a neighborhood institution. They stay open a bit later than their neighbors if you're looking for a late-night dessert or a quick drink, and lunch hour runs until 5pm. The attractively appointed interior is surpsingly big, including a long and narrow, brightly....

One especially entertaining dish is their Risoni Carbonara ...

Chili pepper daredevils may be interested in trying out the Ema Datshi, a chili-cheese stew that's absolutely packed with peppers. Prepared by Lasola's Bhutanese chef, it's one of the spiciest dishes we've found in Tokyo. Although it's very tasty and quite manageable in small bites, we needed a lot of extra rice to get through a bowl. (Fortunately free rice refills are provided upon....
