A comfortable and atmospheric dining experience awaits at Vicky's, a newly opened contemporary brasserie at the Hyatt Regency Tokyo.

Vicky's goes well beyond being a French bistro, although it can be that too. Chef Minoru Otaki pours his culinary heart into procuring fresh ingredients from local farms and fish stores across the country for lunch menus (¥3,500 or ¥4,500, served from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.) that include creations such as Hokkaido scallops and vegetables from the Noto Peninsula served pot-au-feu style. Afternoon tea (¥4,500; served 2:30 to 5 p.m.) is a sensory feast with free-flow tea and coffee along with bite-sized morsels pleasing to both the eyes and palate.

Vicky's bar tables and regular seating make a perfect backdrop for sharing snacks, finger food and craft beer, while other evening offerings see hot and cold appetizers bolstered by protein-heavy mains. Dinner is available as a set menu (¥5,000) or a la carte and served from 5:30 to 11 p.m. Vicky's wine list emphasizes French, European and New World varietals, with many of the prestige labels available by the glass.
