But if you step off the main thoroughfare, away from the lamborghinis and haute couture, you will discover the reason why so many people come here in the evening, long after the boutiques have closed their doors.

Full disclosure, the dining options are incredible. Along the myriad laneways and narrow streets lie some of the best restaurants in Tokyo, just waiting to be discovered.

Cicada exterior

Cicada entrance

Specialising in Mediterranian cuisine, Cicada remains one of our favorite restaurants in the area due to its relaxed atmosphere, fine food, impeccable service, and comfortable open-air terrace.

The extensive menu opens with hams, olive oil and dips, tapas, seafood, meats, and vegetarian options taking center stage. Cicada are most proud of their extensive wine list, offering artisanal, small batch wines from Spain, Italy and France. And as a part of the Tyson & Company, they also serve a range of quality craft beers brewed in Tokyo.

The Tokyo Whisky Library, concealed in one of the backstreets behind Aoyama-dori Avenue, is one of Tokyo’s hidden gems and is a must-visit location for whisky lovers.

Their whisky menu — 107 pages long — tells the backstory of whisky; from its origins in Scotland to its expansion to Japan, the United States, and then to the rest of the world.

A short walk from Omotesando Avenue, the Royal Garden Cafe in Aoyama is open for lunch and dinner. They serve dishes with a focus on sustainability and organic farm to table ingredients. For lunch we recommend the focaccia sandwich, with bread baked daily in their in-house bakery.

If you’re not looking for a meal, stop by and relax on the patio with a beer, espresso, or original blend tea. Then wander down the Jingu Gaien Ginko Avenue and have a stroll through Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden.
