Paschong (Daikanyama)

Pachon, Tokyo’s long-time favorite for French cuisine, is a Michelin-starred restaurant that’s reminiscent of a 17th-century European mansion, complete with maroon rugs and a real fireplace – which is even used to cook certain dishes. Helmed by veteran chef André Pachon, the restaurant is a special occasion restaurant. Its location on a hillside terrace in Daikanyama also adds to its charm, while classic dishes like cassoulet and grilled meats bring the warmth of old-world French cuisine into modern Tokyo.

Bar Valley (Shibuya)

Describing itself as an “urban villa,” Bar Valley is Shibuya’s hidden second-floor lounge, whose warm fireplace flickers year-round. Plush seating, soft lighting and a warm fireplace make it feel like a private residence rather than a bar in one of Tokyo’s busiest areas. This is a comfortable, quiet and stylish place to drink when you want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city.
