How about a beef tataki with black truffle ponzo? Or bar carpaccio with Fuji apple, citrus fruits and black sea salt? Take the elevator to the eighth floor to find the pride and joy of this hotel: 8 at The Londoner. A decadent take on the traditional izakaya – Japan’s answer to the pub, these laid-back bars serve drinks and snacks to after-work crowds in Tokyo and elsewhere – the restaurant occupies three floors and includes a year-round garden. Did we mention the view? Order a jasmine yuzu margarita and a serving of gyoza tacos, sit down and soak in.
