WAITRESS SERVING GYUDON AT YOSHINOYA
Restaurants
Get ready for the gastronomic experience of a lifetime: when it comes to
eating and drinking, few places in the world can compare to Tokyo. The
number, range and quality of places is outstanding, with practically any
world cuisine you can think of available alongside all the usual - and many
unusual - Japanese dishes. The city's range of places to dine runs the gamut
from simple street-food vendors (
yatai
) up to high temples of gastronomy
where the eye-popping beauty of the food on the plate is matched by an
equally creative approach to interior design. This being Japan, there are also
scores of novelty theme restaurants - playing host to anything from robot
performances to fake monsters - where the food plays second fiddle to the
wacky atmosphere.
