Bistro Q

If you're looking for a casual, bistro-style joint suitable for both a date and an evening out with friends, look no further than Akasaka's Q. Book a table or just grab a seat at the counter and start exploring the lengthy menu – one near-obligatory choice is the kuroge wagyu hamburg steak, which has a rich piece of foie gras hidden inside. Chef Hisashi Yamashita also has experience working at a teppanyaki restaurant, so you'll occasionally get slightly Japanised takes on classic French dishes here.
