The physical outpost of Time Out Tokyo’s online empire brings a dash of cosmopolitan class to the Ebisu area – and it’s a great hangout, too. Housed in the upstairs floor of key live venue Liquidroom, Time Out Café & Diner offers an ideal spot for lazy lunches, coffee sessions and meetings alike. The interior is a pitch-perfect imitation of a New York loft eatery, with skylights nestled in the exposed ceilings, and a mixture of armchairs and more conventional seating, complete with a large central table that's ideal for bigger gatherings.
Order up some international grub from the open-plan kitchen – specialities include the hearty pastrami sandwich and the mouth-watering Yatsugatake Premium Burger – and browse the library of Time Out books and magazines from around the globe. Alternatively, knock back a cappuccino, Chimay beer or cocktail, then check out the latest exhibition in the adjacent Kata gallery. And did we mention that we also have free wifi? We're nice like that.
