Festive Dinner from Le Pristine Tokyo at Hotel Toranomon Hills
By mid-December, Tokyo’s restaurants and hotels switch from their regular menus to once-a-year Christmas dinners built around wagyu, lobster, truffles and winter vegetables. Some places go all out with skyline views and Champagne pairings, others keep it relaxed with good wine and comforting holiday mains. We’ve gathered the year’s standout Christmas and holiday dinners across the city—from high-floor French dining and teppanyaki counters to Italian feasts and classic brasserie courses.
Most of these need reservations well in advance, especially the Christmas Eve and Christmas Day seatings, so think of this as your shortcut to choosing a spot. Whether you’re planning something fancy, something casual, or something with a view, these are the menus worth knowing about for 2025.
