Met up with a friend I haven't seen in two years since we were 16 for lunch. It was great. The state of emergency has been lifted. I hope COVID disappears for good! My friend made a reservation for us at "Wine & Dining Duke" on the 50th floor of Shinjuku Nomura Building. The course cost 6,500 yen with sparkling wine included (booked through Ikkyu plan). The view must be even more spectacular at night. We started with "Hokkaido Baron Potato Galette and Smoked Salmon with Warm Lemon Butter Sauce and Salmon Roe". The galette under the salmon wasn't warm, which was disappointing. I think it was intentional to serve it cold since it goes under the cold salmon, but it would be better served on the side to keep it warm and crispy. The pumpkin soup was creamy and delicious. The bread was promptly replaced as soon as we finished it. The second drink was white wine. Since the journey back home was long, I decided to stop drinking alcohol after this. The white fish with crispy skin was delicious, and I love zucchini. The steak was made with lean meat without much marbling, which was good. It was cooked just right in terms of tenderness and doneness. We ended with dessert and tea. The three male staff members were very attentive and provided excellent service throughout. The food was not fancy but rather traditional, yet I believe it's a good restaurant. I left fully satisfied and content. Thank you for the feast. I'll definitely come back again.

Top hotel-operated restaurant by a Japanese hotel chain, Hotel Okura. The lunchtime experience in the spacious, high-ceilinged setting allows for indulging in luxurious flavors at a reasonable price. Moreover, the restaurant features furniture, furnishings, and silverware that were used in the pre-reconstruction Okura Tokyo, where celebrities from both Japan and abroad were entertained. For those in the know, it holds a museum-like significance. ◆Poulet Lunch [Exquisite] A luxurious plate that allows you to enjoy both fish and meat. The fish is red snapper poêlé with Genovese sauce. The meat is grilled Oyama chicken with red wine and green pepper sauce. The quality of the ingredients, including the side dishes, is unmatched. The salad is crisp and fresh, with a delightful dressing. The bread releases a burst of flavor with every bite. The corn cream soup is rich and luxurious, incredibly delicious.

I visited this restaurant for a special anniversary dinner. It is a little far from Shinjuku Station, so taking a taxi is recommended. If you're feeling energetic, you can also walk there. I arrived at 6:30 pm in early August. The restaurant offers a lovely view as the sun sets and the night lights up. There were a few instances where my glass was empty and they didn't bring the drink menu, which was a bit bothersome, but the food was delicious. I noticed that the staff were helping out with a surprise present at a nearby table, which seemed to distract them. It was great to have a knowledgeable staff member recommend wines. The tables were separated by screens, so we could enjoy our meal in a peaceful setting. I would recommend this restaurant for special occasions or important celebrations.

Dinner at Sunset was beautiful and the food was delicious. There weren't many customers so it felt like a private dining experience. The staff were laid-back, making it a casual place to visit. Oh, I forgot to take a picture of the bread! Thank you for the meal.

I used it for a proposal. Although the private room was not available, I was assigned a slightly secluded spot by the window, which had a beautiful night view and a fantastic atmosphere. Each dish was delicious and wonderful, and the hospitality of the staff was also excellent, creating a great atmosphere. I am thinking of visiting again for some milestone, such as our first wedding anniversary.

Hotel Okura Restaurant Shinjuku Wine & Dining Duke is a French restaurant located on the 50th floor of the Nomura Building in Shinjuku. The high ceilings and amazing views make it a truly special dining experience. I visited for lunch on a Saturday and was impressed by the simple yet beautifully presented soup, salad, main course of chicken, and dessert. The salad with firefly squid and tangy dressing was delicious. The chicken main course was tender and flavorful. Overall, I found the cost performance to be quite high. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

Shinjuku is lined with tall buildings. There are also super high-rise buildings like Park Hyatt and Opera City, so Shinjuku is a competitive area for restaurants with beautiful night views! The restaurant I visited was also on a high floor, so the night view was perfect! And when it comes to wine, it's definitely a great dinner! The food was also very delicious! Thank you for the meal!

Used for entertaining guests. Being part of the Okura group, there is a great hospitality feel, almost like dining in a hotel. The view from the 50th floor of Shinjuku Nomura Building is unbeatable! Today's menu included: - Caviar and chocolate composition - Sea urchin waffle with rich sauce of crustaceans and lobster - Low-temperature cooked duck breast with black garlic and berry salad - Monkfish and foie gras soup with ginger and yuzu accents - Sorbet palate cleanser - Pan-seared black wagyu beef and foie gras with sauce - Berry tart - Caramelized apple with calvados smooth anglaise sauce - Coffee Honestly, there were no innovative ingredients or trendy cooking methods, but all the dishes were delicious in a traditional hotel style. The value for money is more than enough. The only downside was the limited wine selection. For a wine & dining establishment, the variety was lacking, with only basic options available. Despite this, the ambiance was very pleasant, and the food was excellent, so it is a great place to dine. I will definitely come back!

From the 50th floor, enjoying the view of Shinjuku while having a delicious lunch. The view is amazing! The minestrone soup is so comforting. The seafood pasta is full of ingredients. The olive oil and tomato seafood broth are delicious without any unnecessary seasonings. Of course, the hospitality is excellent and the spacious interior of the restaurant is calming.

I went there at night for my companion's birthday. The night view from the 50th floor and the calm atmosphere were wonderful. The service was provided by a veteran hotel staff member who was very considerate. We ordered the "Duke Official Course (5 courses + champagne toast + window seat)" for ¥12,000. The portion was a bit generous, but the food was delicious and beautifully presented. We were unable to have a sparkling candle due to safety reasons, but they prepared a lovely birthday plate for ¥1,430 instead. Thank you for the meal. I would love to go back again.

I thought I could easily get there using the underground passage from Shinjuku Station, but I couldn't find the N5 exit and ended up wandering around a bit. It might have been easier to go above ground... I felt a little awkward when I visited the restaurant at Hotel Okura, but the cheerful staff created a surprising atmosphere. I stayed until the lunch closing time while enjoying the amazing view from the 50th floor and had a great time catching up with a long-time friend. It wasn't like "as expected from Hotel Okura," but the food was simply delicious.

You can enjoy a meal while looking at the view from the 50th floor. The one-plate lunch allows you to enjoy both meat and fish. The atmosphere is very calm and nostalgic. It is recommended to visit on a sunny day, and it is great for a quick lunch.

Today, I went to Hotel Okura Restaurant Shinjuku "Duke" located on the 50th floor of Shinjuku Nomura Building. The course "Grand Duke" included: - Appetizer: Kombu-marinated sea bream with seasonal fruit and herb salad - Appetizer: Escargot and mushroom pie - Soup: Pumpkin soup with orange scent - Fish dish: Pan-seared sea bream - Meat dish: Pan-seared beef fillet with truffles and shallots in red wine vinegar sauce - Dessert: Kyoho grape confiture and yogurt panna cotta with madeleine - Coffee - White wine - Fuji mineral water The food was delicious, but there was a mix-up with the reservation plan, and the elderly male staff couldn't explain the dishes properly. The interior of the restaurant, although clean, seemed a bit dated with older furniture and tables. The view of Tokyo Tower, Skytree, and other high-rise buildings was not very visible, which made it boring quickly. The only redeeming factor was the good service from the female staff.

I had the meat and fish one-plate lunch (tax included 2,000 yen). With high ceilings, a view from the 50th floor, and attentive service, I enjoyed eating and drinking leisurely without worrying about the neighboring seats. It was nice that it is close to JR Shinjuku Station.

After a long time, I returned to Tokyo for a visit. My husband took me to a high-rise restaurant near his former workplace (○tomofu). He loves high places...there aren't any tall buildings in Fukuoka due to aviation regulations. It's nice to indulge once in a while. The view is amazing and the food is delicious. The freshly opened wine is so good. It's been a while since I had French cuisine.

We used it on our wedding anniversary. They were very attentive to allergies and the food was delicious! We especially liked the second dish and the soup. The bread was delicious and we were able to get seconds. The night view was very beautiful! ✨

There is a proverb that says "hunger is the best sauce," but perhaps we can say that "a view is the best seasoning"! Laughter. It doesn't quite come together well, but that's the feeling. The harmony of food, wine, music, view, conversation, all overlapping and coming together to create a work of art. This restaurant truly made me feel that. The city view from the top floor of the 50-story building is breathtaking, especially in the clear winter air. The food was recommended by the restaurant, and I couldn't capture it well in photos, unfortunately. Now, onto the fish and meat full course meal. Please refer to the menu in the image. It's a relief that there are no allergies or picky eaters in situations like this. (Although I accidentally forgot to take a photo of the fish dish, I couldn't resist starting to eat it because it smelled so good.) Oh, I also missed taking a photo of the amuse-bouche. Oops. The appetizer is salmon marinated with Shine Muscat and herb salad. The cream cheese has a faint citrus scent that is refreshing. It's light yet has depth, and it builds up the anticipation for the rest of the course. The seasonal chestnut potage soup is like a cappuccino, and it's fantastic. I would be satisfied and happy to leave after this. There was no sorbet palate cleanser, but since the fish and meat dishes had completely different sauce flavors, there was no need for it, and I actually enjoyed the flow. The pork with plum sauce was amazing. The dessert is a visually pleasing dish that women will love, no doubt. There was no espresso, but the coffee was deep, bitter, and rich enough. The tables were set up with a slight diagonal arrangement for social distancing, which showed thoughtfulness. The service was polite, cheerful, and enjoyable. There was a new staff member who seemed a bit awkward, but I thought, please practice at my table. It was nice to see her trying her best. Thank you for the meal.

I didn't have high expectations when I visited my sister's birthday party. The restaurant didn't have a high rating on Tabelog, and I didn't trust the hotel's restaurant. But the main dish was delicious! The pork cutlet was so tasty, the best I've ever had. It was worth coming here just for that. The name of Hotel Okura is not just for show. The prices are not too high for a French restaurant, and the view, atmosphere, and service are all good. I think it's a great place to use for a date or anniversary.

I used it for a birthday lunch... In conclusion, it was perfect in every way, no complaints, it was worth the price... Even my unrefined palate can tell the deliciousness, complexity, and sophistication in the dishes. I can't quite put it into words... I'm sorry. They promptly replenished the baguettes when they ran out, even though there were two main dishes, my stomach was quite satisfied. And the view from the 50th floor is outstanding, with nothing obstructing the view! The dish that looked like a hamburger, the beef tenderloin Saltimbocca... I was told it had something sandwiched in between, but I forgot... I was nervous, haha. It's a steak, but it gave me a sensation I've never experienced before... Maybe it's because of what's sandwiched in between...(/ _ ; ) Every dish was truly delicious and enjoyable☆

I went to this restaurant because I wanted to try their lunch set, which you can't reserve in advance. Due to the impact of the coronavirus, it was quite empty and I was able to get a table this time. Last time I tried to go, it was full so I couldn't get in! The interior of the restaurant is beautiful and luxurious. I was seated by the window with a nice view. The waitress was very attentive and provided excellent service. I ordered the shrimp curry set, which came with a salad and coffee. The salad was made with fresh vegetables and was delicious. The curry had large shrimp in it and was very tasty. It had just the right thickness and was clearly made with care. The rice was firm. The coffee after the meal was also very good. It was strong but not too bitter or acidic, making it easy to drink. It's no wonder it's an Okura restaurant! I find it difficult to eat a full course for lunch, so I would like to come back to try their curry or pasta lunch without making a reservation next time!

My family gathered in Tokyo for my son's school festival, and we had a meal together for the first time in a while with my daughter and wife. Unfortunately, we couldn't see the spectacular view from the 50th floor due to the rainy weather, but the service has been exceptional since we checked in, making it a pleasant dining experience. We started with a sweet white wine before enjoying the appetizers. The seafood and herb ceviche was not too sour, making it a perfect match with the sweet wine. The mushroom red wine soup with sausage increased our appetite and paired well with bread. The timing was perfect when we switched from meat to seafood with the steamed sea bream and clams, so we ordered a red wine. Although the Napa Valley red wine we wanted was sold out, the alternative red wine in the same price range turned out to be the right choice. (I was surprised by the reasonable wine prices here.) The Italian aqua pazza with a hint of tomato flavor also paired well with the not-too-heavy red wine, leading us to the next dish of Barbary duck roast. The flavors of fish, mushrooms, vegetables, and meat alternated on our palates, providing a pleasant and stimulating experience. The timing of the dessert was perfect, and the staff's attentive service and kind hospitality made our family of four feel comfortable throughout the meal. We were so engrossed in conversation that we hardly noticed other customers had left by the end of the meal, but we truly appreciated the heartfelt hospitality until the last cup of coffee. Thank you for a wonderful time, and thank you for the delicious meal.
