Café Apres-Midi

A Shibuya golden oldie: not many places in this fast-changing bit of town can lay claim to that title, but Café Apres-Midi can. Opened during the area's original café boom, it's owned by Toru Hashimoto (no, not the Osaka mayor of old), a DJ known for his slightly free spirit and selection of compilation CDs. The cosy interior manages to fit both a countertop bar and sofas, with antique furniture and unobtrusive lighting leaving a relatively calm impression. You can easily imagine kicking back with a glass of wine or a cocktail here while listening to well-curated tunes from all genres. Check out the guest DJ at their weekly 'Friday Lounge' parties too.
