In times past, this was the most fashionable Italian restaurant in town. It’s slowed down and the days are gone when half the space was given over to high fashion, but they still know how to serve a decent pasta and a glass of red. It’s 10 minutes’ walk from Roppongi Crossing, going towards the Tower.

This French restaurant is celebrated for its grand operatic decor, but it’s charmingly modest by day. A set course centering on pasta need cost no more than £12, and then you’ve got that view from the 41st floor... By night, with a [name] like Fish Bank, they’ve got to do the world’s best bouillabaisse, at a price.

The restaurant had still to open at the time of writing, ditto the hotel in which it is located, the Conrad Tokyo. However, the first Gordon Ramsay restaurant to open in Tokyo, featuring the high standards set by the pioneering chef himself, ensures a frenzy of interest.

The food is excellent, but the place is a bit noisy and the tables are close together at night. The best time to try this excellent little Italian is lunchtime on a weekday. Then the crowd is much thinner and Señora Okubo, the proprietor, has plenty of time to care for your needs.
