ROPPONGI RESTAURANTS

Roppongi Restaurants - Not surprisingly, Roppongi has lots of international restaurants including the Hard Rock Cafe.

Roppongi Budget Restaurants

Some of the best cheap places to eat in high-rent Roppongi are the numerous fast-food joints, most of which keep late hours to cater to the party crowd.

Turkish doner kebab vans on the street at night are really popular for people getting out of clubs.

Roppongi Midrange Restaurants

Roppongi Hills has an extensive selection of midrange-to-expensive restaurants. A few branches of famous chains here, all offering set meals in the ¥1500 range, include:

  • Ginza's Katsukobo Wakō (かつ工房和幸) for tonkatsu (pork cutlets)
  • Sugamo's Konaya (古奈屋) for curry udon
  • Akasaka's Kushinobō (串の坊) for kushiyaki (deep-fried skewers)
  • Acarajé Tropicana, Edge Bldg. B1, 1-1-1 Nishi-Azabu, 03-3479-4690, [6] (http://www.cup.com/tropicana/). This Brazilian restaurant also teaches Brazilian dance if you pay a little bit.

Hard Rock Cafe. Look for the giant gorilla hanging on to the window.
Tony Roma's 5-4-20 Roppongi, (next to Hard Rock Cafe), 03-3408-2748. Step out of Japan and into the United States; the bilingual staff and English-only menu might make you forget you are in Tokyo. The restaurant features their trademark ribs, worth the price which approaches ¥2000. The Texas Mud Pie is the cure for tiny Japanese desserts, this one looks the size of Texas.

Roppongi Up Market Restaurants

Mako 1-6-1 Roppongi, Izumi Garden Tower 5F. 03-5575-8055. Every day, 11:30 AM to 2 PM, 6 PM to 10:30 PM. There's more to Roppongi than nightclubs — this upscale California-style restaurant fuses cuisines from around the world, without regard to nationality. Deep-fried fish with a Chinese black-bean sauce is served next to foie gras-topped bruchetta. Chef Mako Tanaka, former student of Wolfgang Puck, changes the menu each month. You can order a la carte, but recommended is the omakase (set) course for ¥6000; a fuller course can be had for ¥10,000. The English-speaking waiters are informal and courteous.

Roku Roku (六禄). Grand Hyatt 6F, Roppongi Hills, [7] (http://tokyo.grand.hyatt.com/tokgra03/dining_01.html). This complex of six restaurants on the sixth floor is a good choice if price is not an issue. You can choose between sushi, steak, Japanese and Chinese, and will be looking at upwards of ¥5000 per head on the bill.

Atelier de Joel Robuchon. Roppongi Hills Hillside 2F, 6-10-1 Roppongi, tel. 03-5772-7500, [8] (http://www.robuchon.com/). The first overseas venture of the eponymous Paris-based Michelin-starred chef. Each dish is a work of art almost as breathtaking as the price tag, at ¥1000-4000 per dish. No reservations are accepted, so prepare to queue.
