SaitamaGood size for groups, bad system for groups
Price: 1620 yen
We've been a few times to this restaurant at the top of Omote Sando, but this past weekend was the first time there was such a big group of us. The space is good for a group, but their pricing system isn't.
Most of our group ordered the pasta lunch set which is advertised as 1,500 per person, but there are hidden costs. The bill was way off what we had budgeted for, even with taking into account the extra cost for alcohol. The staff explained that some of the pasta dishes we ordered cost extra. This was not clearly marked on the menu and that is what caused the confusion. They also do not allow people pay individually, which isn't ideal for a group of more than 15 which is what we were. In saying all that, the food is really delicious and the portions are very generous. The set comes with bread, a salad and a hot beverage or you can pay 300 yen extra for wine. It is very good value for money for this part of Tokyo.
It is open from 11.30 am to 2 am seven days a week. It is a popular spot so I advise making a reservation. There are stairs down to the restaurant and they request you fold up any strollers or buggies and store then near the bottom of the stairs. Its a no smoking restaurant, but they have a smoking room outside.

A luxe oasis in the city for a bite to eat and a good drink
TokyoIf you're shopping in trendy Omotesando, or even if you're just in Tokyo, the Aoyama Flower Market Tea House is a fun and tasty place to stop. The cafe is set inside the flower shop, so there is beautiful greenery all around - it's a bit of a tranquil respite from the busy nature of city life. They have a range of tea options on offer, such as rose and earl grey - and seasonal offerings too, which change regularly. As for the food options, they have tasty salads and desserts. Not the cheapest, but that's what you get for this part of Tokyo. It is quite a unique experience though for a place to dine - so I see it as partially paying for the atmosphere.Aoyama Flower Market Tea House has expanded to a couple of other locations (Akasaka and Kichijoji) but each store has a different menu. I've only been to the Omotesando location but I have no doubt the other stores are beautiful, too!
Experienced in styling and colouring foreigner's hair
Shibuya-kuToni & Guy Japan came highly recommended to me before I visited and I was familiar with the salon as there are a few branches in my home country. I certainly wasn't disappointed, but I don't think their hair cuts are any better than any other salon I've been to. Where Toni & Guys strength lies is colouring foreign hair; the stylist I use is without doubt the best colourist I've met in Japan. For a cut I just go local, but for a colour I take the long trip into Tokyo. The two main benefits of going to a Toni & Guy is that their staff are trained in working with all types of hair and that the majority of them speak English. They charge more than average, but they also offer an experience rather than just a hair cut or colour. The salon is bright and airy with very comfortable chairs. They spend time talking with you and figuring out what look would work best for you. They offer plenty of bevarages during your visit. They give a head and shoulder massage after your shampoo. They take a photo of your hair after your done, so they have a record of what style, look and/or colour you were (or were not) happy with. I found the staff to be particularly friendly yet professional, and exceptionally attentive with superb skills.They open Wednesday to Monday, Tuesdays are closed. On weekdays the hours are 11 am to 9 pm and on Saturday and Sunday the hours are 10 am to 7 pm. I strongly advise you make an appointment in advance. If you can't speak Japanese, the receptionist will put you on the phone to someone who speaks English..
Exquisite desserts in Omotesando
Shibuya-kuIf you're looking for somewhere to have a bite to eat and something to drink and like the WOW factor, you won't want to miss Dominique Ansel Bakery Japan.Popular items include:Cookie Shot (cold vanilla milk shot served in a freshly baked cookie cup)Frozen S'more Lime Me Up TartGinger PineconeMany of the cakes and tarts look almost too good to eat, but the flavours are so good that you will forgive yourself for biting into the masterpieces. Many items are distinctly Japanese, making this a fabulous place to show off to visiting friends and family.Prices are high compared to a standard bakery or coffee shop, but the creations deserve their price tags.The Omotesando store has separate 1f and 2f dining areas. Items purchased on the 1f can't be taken to the second floor. The 1f is more like a cafe, whereas the 2f is more like a restaurant.Also recently opened a take-out only store in Ginza.English speaking staff Open 10am - 7pm dailyhttp://dominiqueanseljapan.com
Some of the best pancakes I've ever had!
TokyoIf you're after a western style breakfast when you're in Tokyo, and you also want somewhere with a reasonably early opening time - check out Clinton Street Bakery! The original Clinton Street Bakery was opened in Manhattan, New York - and it became so popular that even Lonely Planet called it New York's Number One breakfast spot - pretty high praise right there!The Tokyo location is in Minami Aoyama, just a short walk from the Omotesando train station. During the week the store is open from 9am until 9pm, and on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays they open from 8am until 9pm.Most menu items sit between 1500-2000 yen, and if I had to make a recommendation I'd absolutely say the pancakes are the way to go. My husband highly rates their smoked salmon eggs benedict too!They also offer a wide range of meal options that are suitable for lunch or dinner, such as Po' Boy sandwiches and fish and chips.Definitely worth a stop if you're in the Tokyo area!
Birds and Coffee
Minato-kuKotori Cafe is a bird cafe located in the areas of Omote-sando, Shinsaibashi, and Kichijoji. A small pastel colored cafe that sits off the beaten track. It is small and cute. Ideal for bird lovers.The birds do not fly freely here. You observe them in large glass rooms. You are free to take photographs. For a charge of ¥500, you can go into the petting room and spend 5 minutes handling the birds. A little expensive for someone who lives here, but a unique experience for a traveler. Once you have done that you can enjoy a selection of animal themed cakes and cookies with coffee or tea. There is even a kids menu. You can also buy souvenirs from the cafe too. The rating is 4/5 because of the ¥500 charge to pet the animals. However, there is not an expensive cover charge like other cafes do. So take it as a 4.5/5.There is not any bilingual staff, but the menu is bilingual. http://kotoricafe.jp
