Cicada Hiroo

Great casual Meditteranean restaurant on the left of the road leading from Nishi Azabu crossing down to Hiroo. Fine for business dinner, pretty casual though so OK for parents, large number of foreigners, less suitable for dates. However, seems that children six or less have to use individual rooms - so best to book.

Le Pré Verre in Tokyo

Great casual French restaurant situated in Omotesando on the fourth floor of the building with Chanel and the MOMA Museum, more or less opposite to Omotesando Hills. Could suite large group, casual enough so noisy children less of a problem, decent value for the quality and nice wine list. Must be one of the best casual French restaurants in town.

Le Petit Tonneau - Azabu Juban

The Azabu Juban branch is 0ne of the nicest casual French restaurants I have been to in Tokyo - very authentic, nice atmosphere and great location looking into the oval park like space North West of Azabu Juban station. Downstairs has better atmosphere and a seat looking out to the oval is good in summer. A window seat is probably good upstairs. Can certainly take business colleagues or a relatively large group - eight to ten say - OK.

Three restaurants around town, Azabu Juban above also in Toranomon, Kudan. Azabu Juban -
