Garb Central

Built on the site of the old Akasaka Grand Prince Hotel, the long-awaited Garden Terrace complex in Kioicho is home to several noteworthy eateries, including this casual ground-floor spot boasting a spacious terrace and a very reasonably priced, Mediterranean-inspired fusion menu. Run by industry impresarios Balnibarbi, who operate an enviable selection of restaurants in both Tokyo and Osaka, Garb Central looks poised to challenge old-timer Aux Bacchanales for the title of best open-air spot in the area.
