Tokyo Roux: Japanese curry (B1F)
From the ubiquitous Soup Stock chain comes this new Japanese-curry specialty shop; besides curries they serve things like "hayashi rice", gumbos, ragouts, stews and anything else that can be termed a "roux", along with various rice options. (The "Tokyo curry" is our favorite so far.) Drinks include lassi and iced chai. 03-3231-5622.

Sant Pau: Spanish (Annex 1/2F)
Serious Catalan cuisine in this fancy Tokyo branch of Chef Carme Ruscalleda's famous Barcelona restaurant. The tasting menu is Y21,000, and main dishes run around Y7000 each. There's a more informal wine bar downstairs, with some 350 varieties of mostly Spanish wines and a light tapas menu. 03-3517-5700.

Idealplat: French (4F)
"Modern Provence Dining" is what it says at the entrance, and indeed the cooking is modern, light and authentically Provencal, with everything from bouillabaisse to cous cous. In the afternoons it's a cafe - a good place to stop for a leisurely cappucino and tart tatin. 03-3516-2181.
