Dominic, have you ever heard of "Chez Sylvia" in Tokyo? I would like to know if that restaurant is still in business.

Chez Sylvia was a French restaurant owned by German master chef Artur J. Rutter. He defeated Iron Chef Michiba in battle bell pepper.

Daniel Martin used to head Le Cordon Bleu school in Tokyo. He has a restaurant called L'espadon which looks good:

Suna, a cute little Moroccan restaurant just off Aoyama-Dori, between Omotesando station and Gaien-Nishi Dori.

We have just been there for the classic 1,000 yen lunch set and enjoyed some authentic Moroccan cuisine in their cute little garden tucked away under the stairs. A very pleasant treat for a workday lunch.

Of-course you recommended it to me (yet there is no entry on your blog) so I guess its more a recommendation for your readers.

Enjoy.

Hi Dominic,

My boyfriend and I will be in Tokyo from 11/16-11/23. I have been trying to research great, authentic Japanese restaurants online but I am scared that the sites will direct me to tourist traps. We would so appreciate any recommendation!! We are looking for places popular with locals that have great food, like a neighborhood place that you frequent.

Thank you so much, I love your blog!!!

Jessica

There is a restaurant in Azabujuban called Burgaz Ada,
It is highly exclusive and serves wide variety of delicious food from Ottoman Cuisine which combines together asian and european food with excellent quality.
You need to book before you visit this restaurant as it is already popular among celebrities and executives.

My absolute favorite Chinese food is Shoukobou "笑口房" in Yutenji. Very reasonably priced and owned by an incredibly dedicated chef.

Hi Dominic, Great blog. I am also a fellow blogger living in Tokyo, and I love eating out too. So great to find your blog, and discover some more lovely places to dine. I really like your class and rating system, and have been thinking for a while about implementing such a system on my blog. I really like how you have done it. I am eating at Les Creations de Narisawa in May when I get back from Golden Week holiday so looking forward to that one. I booked just this week and that was the first Saturday night they had available. I will have a think about some places to recommend, but it seems that you have eaten everywhere already!

Thanks for your blog, great recommendations! Since you seem to eat a fair bit in Azabu-Juban, you should give "Le Pot aux Roses" a try (very close to White Smoke, on the 5th floor). There are often specials of the day that are not on the menu and well worth trying.

Hi there! Just moved to Tokyo and had the pleasure to dine in Ginza's Bulgari Restaurant. I highly recommend it... I felt so spoiled and the food was really good and original. The sommelier was fantastic as well.
Cheers
