Best Tasting Menus Under $200 Worldwide 2026

Worldwide · 22 tastings ranked · Currency-normalised May 2026 · Updated May 2026

By Diego Marín, Contributing Editor, Americas · Published · Updated

The hardest reservation in fine dining is not the three-star tasting at $450. It is the five-course chef-led menu under $200, in a room with a working kitchen and a sommelier on the floor, on a Thursday night. There are perhaps 40 of these worldwide. We have ranked the 22 that hold the standard of a serious tasting room while keeping the bill under $200 per head ex-drinks, currency-normalised to USD at mid-May 2026 mid-rates. Some are dinner menus from chefs who have stayed deliberately below the three-star ceiling — Septime in Paris, Lyle's in London, Tuome in the East Village. Others are the lunch carve-out at a more-expensive dinner room — Atomix's $175 five-course, Lazy Bear's $165 lunch, Florilège's ¥18,000 set. The first eight are the ones we book first.

What separates a great $200 tasting from a competent one

A tasting menu that lands under $200 per head is solving a different problem than the three-star room. The chef has chosen to cap the spend, which means three things: a tighter ingredient palette, a smaller team on service, and a higher demand on the kitchen's bread, pickle and stock work to carry the courses the room cannot afford to build around premium proteins. The bread course is the single most-honest signal. Lyle's sourdough with cultured butter, Septime's seeded loaf, Brat's flatbread with anchovy — these are the dishes the kitchen cannot dilute. The second signal is the rice or grain course (Atomix's dolsot, Den's salad with rice underneath, Tuome's chao fan). The third is the pickle plate, which a great kitchen treats as a course and a competent one treats as garnish. Pass on these three and the room has shown its serious work; everything else is execution against menu.

North America

1. Atomix lunch — NoMad, New York

Modern Korean tasting · 104 E 30th Street · $175 lunch / $250 dinner · Three Michelin stars (2024)

The cleanest introduction to North America's best Korean kitchen — five courses, 14 seats, the same chef team as the $250 dinner. Book it.

Junghyun and Ellia Park opened Atomix in NoMad in 2018 and earned the third Michelin star in the 2024 New York guide. The 14-seat counter on East 30th runs a $250 dinner tasting that is the city's most-discussed reservation; the $175 lunch served Tuesday through Saturday is the lesser-known sibling and the cleaner introduction to the kitchen. Five courses rather than ten, the same dolsot rice course, the same banchan composition, a 70-minute pacing rather than the dinner's 130. The signature ganjang gejang — soy-cured raw blue crab — is included on the lunch in season. Reservations open via Resy at noon Eastern, 28 days out; the lunch counter remains available longer than the dinner because the booking culture has not yet caught up.

5. Lazy Bear lunch — Mission, San Francisco

Modern American tasting · 3416 19th Street · $165 lunch (Sat/Sun) / $295 dinner · One Michelin star

David Barzelay's weekend lunch is the underbooked move in the Mission — same kitchen, half the price. Try it once.

David Barzelay opened Lazy Bear in its current 19th Street form in 2014; the room earned its first Michelin star in 2016 and has held it. The dinner is a 14-course at $295 served family-style at two communal tables; the Saturday-Sunday lunch at $165 runs seven courses on the same family-style format with the same kitchen team. The signature poultry course — a brined and confit'd duck breast over greens — is on the lunch program. Reservations open via the house platform 30 days out at noon Pacific; the lunch remains available into the same week. Order the bread plate as a separate course — the sourdough is made in-house and the cultured butter is a course in itself.

6. Tuome — East Village, New York

Modern Asian tasting · 536 E 5th Street · $145 tasting menu · One Michelin star

Thomas Chen's East Village kitchen runs the most-considered under-$150 tasting in New York. Reserve weeks ahead.

Thomas Chen opened Tuome on East 5th in 2014 and earned one Michelin star in 2017; the room has held the star and the same team since. The seven-course tasting at $145 includes the signature pig-for-two (a 24-hour braised pork shoulder served family-style), the dan dan noodles, and a salt-and-pepper soft-shell crab in season. The room seats 38 with the chef's counter in the back. Reservations open via Resy 30 days out; the Tuesday and Wednesday counter seats are the best move. The wine program runs lean — about 80 references — but the BTG selection is poured generously and the corkage on bring-your-own is $35 with the first bottle free on Mondays.

16. Migrant Kitchen — Brooklyn, New York

Modern fusion tasting · Williamsburg · $130 chef's counter · Bib Gourmand (2025)

The Williamsburg chef's counter that lands a six-course menu under $130 with a kitchen team trained in three-star rooms. Pencil it in.

Migrant Kitchen runs a six-course counter tasting at $130 in Williamsburg with a kitchen team drawn from former Le Bernardin and Atomix line cooks. The menu rotates monthly and routes through the chef's Lebanese-Mexican background; the kafta-stuffed empanada has become the signature off-menu request. The room seats 12 across the counter and reservations open via Resy 30 days out. Bib Gourmand-rated in the 2025 New York guide, the room is one of the best-value rated tasting menus in the city.

Europe

2. Septime — 11th arrondissement, Paris

Modern French tasting · 80 rue de Charonne · €110 dinner tasting / €60 lunch · One Michelin star

Bertrand Grébaut's seven-course at €110 is the cleanest tasting-menu deal in Europe. Reserve months out.

Bertrand Grébaut opened Septime on rue de Charonne in 2011 and the room has held one Michelin star since 2014. The seven-course dinner tasting at €110 (about $120 in May 2026) is the cleanest sub-$150 deal in Europe — a working three-star-level kitchen, a sommelier on the floor, a daily-changing menu built on ingredients from the Septime team's own producer network. The €60 lunch is the cheaper but smaller-format option (four courses). Reservations open at 09:00 Paris on the 21st of the month for the following calendar month; the window closes within two minutes. The wine bar around the corner — Septime La Cave — is the easier same-day move if the room is full.

3. Lyle's — Shoreditch, London

Modern British tasting · Tea Building, 56 Shoreditch High Street · £85 tasting · One Michelin star

James Lowe's tasting at £85 in Shoreditch is the working-class three-star meal in London. Book it.

James Lowe opened Lyle's in the Tea Building on Shoreditch High Street in 2014 and earned the Michelin star in 2017. The five-course evening tasting at £85 (about $110 in May 2026) is the most-considered sub-£100 tasting in London — the kitchen runs the same producer network as the chef's day-time bakery Flor and routes a deliberate Yorkshire and Norfolk seasonal palette through the menu. The sourdough with cultured butter is the dish that anchors the room. Reservations open via Resy 30 days out; the bar takes walk-ins from 18:00 and serves the same menu. Lunch is à la carte and the brown crab on toast at £18 is the bar's signature single dish.

4. Frantzén Brasserie — Vasastan, Stockholm

Modern Nordic brasserie · Norrtullsgatan 26 · SEK 1,650 tasting · Recommended by Michelin (no star, by design)

The brasserie sister of the three-star room; SEK 1,650 buys a tasting from the Frantzén cellar and team. Worth the flight.

Björn Frantzén opened Brasserie Astoria on Norrtullsgatan in 2021 as the casual sibling to the three-star Frantzén; the room runs a five-course tasting at SEK 1,650 (about $155 in May 2026) with a wine pairing at SEK 950 that pours from the Frantzén cellar's allocations. The kitchen leads with classical Nordic and French brasserie cooking — the cured raw beef with horseradish, the bone marrow on toast, the wood-fire poached fish — at a price point the three-star team has chosen not to push into Michelin territory. Reservations open via the house platform 30 days out; the bar at the front takes walk-ins.

11. Le Calandre lunch — Sarmeola di Rubano, Padova

Modern Italian tasting · via Liguria 1 · €140 lunch tasting · Three Michelin stars (2003)

Massimiliano Alajmo's three-star room outside Padova; the lunch tasting at €140 is the cheapest three-star tasting in Italy. Worth the flight.

Massimiliano Alajmo earned the third Michelin star at Le Calandre in 2003 at the age of 28, the youngest chef in history to hold three. The room in the Padova suburb of Sarmeola di Rubano runs a lunch tasting at €140 (about $155 in May 2026) — five courses with the signature saffron risotto with liquorice powder and the cuttlefish-ink cappuccino. The dinner tasting at €290 is double the price for a longer menu; the lunch is the structurally cleaner case for the room. Reservations open via the house platform 90 days out; the Friday and Saturday tables are gone within the first day.

14. St. John — Smithfield, London

British nose-to-tail · 26 St John Street · ~£75-95 per head · One Michelin star (held since 2009)

Fergus Henderson's 1994 Smithfield room remains the canonical nose-to-tail meal in the world. Book it for an anniversary in London.

Fergus Henderson opened St. John in a former smokehouse on St John Street in 1994; the room has held one Michelin star since 2009. The à la carte runs around £75-95 per head with two courses including the signature roast bone marrow with parsley salad and the Eccles cake with Lancashire cheese for dessert. The room takes phone reservations only and walk-ins at the bar after 21:30. The wine list, opinionated and short, leans Loire and the Rhône with a deliberately limited Bordeaux selection. The room's structural advantage at this price point is the daily-changing menu driven by the Smithfield meat market across the street.

15. Brat — Shoreditch, London

Wood-fire Basque-British · 4 Redchurch Street · ~£75-90 per head · One Michelin star

Tomos Parry's Basque-inflected wood-fire room above the Smoking Goat; the whole turbot is the dish. Pencil it in.

Tomos Parry opened Brat above the Smoking Goat in Shoreditch in 2018 and earned the Michelin star within a year. The room runs no fixed tasting — the à la carte is the format — and a typical three-course meal lands at £75-90 per head with the signature whole grilled turbot for two adding another £30 per head. Parry trained at Asador Etxebarri in the Basque Country and the wood-fire technique routes through every dish. Reservations open via Resy 30 days out and the bar at the front takes walk-ins from 17:30.

19. Sünn — Bairro Alto, Lisbon

Modern Portuguese tasting · Rua do Século 95 · €105 tasting · Two Michelin stars (2026)

Bruno Caseiro's Bairro Alto kitchen, two stars in 2026, a €105 tasting that will not stay this priced. Reserve weeks ahead.

Bruno Caseiro opened Sünn in the Bairro Alto in 2022 and earned the first Michelin star in 2024; the second was added in the 2026 Iberia guide. The five-course tasting at €105 (about $115 in May 2026) leans Portuguese seafood with the signature scarlet shrimp on charcoal and the suckling pig course. The room seats 28 with a chef's counter for six. The €70 wine pairing routes through Douro and Madeira and is the best pairing value at any two-star room in Iberia. Reservations open via the house platform 60 days out — the price will not hold past 2026.

20. Restaurant David Toutain lunch — 7th arrondissement, Paris

Modern French tasting · 29 rue Surcouf · €100 lunch tasting / €230 dinner · Two Michelin stars

David Toutain's lunch at €100 buys the same kitchen as the €230 dinner; the cleanest two-star lunch in Paris. Book it.

David Toutain opened the room on rue Surcouf in 2013 and earned the second Michelin star in 2018. The lunch tasting at €100 runs five courses against the dinner's nine; the kitchen team is the same and the signature corn course and aged pigeon usually appear on both. The wine list runs unusually deep for a sub-€100 tasting room — about 800 references with a biodynamic Loire focus — and the pairing at €70 is the program's distinguishing work. Reservations open via the house platform 60 days out at 10:00 Paris.

Asia

7. Florilège lunch — Aoyama, Tokyo

French-Japanese tasting · 2-5-4 Jingumae, B1 · ¥18,000 lunch / ¥38,000 dinner · Two Michelin stars

Hiroyasu Kawate's lunch at ¥18,000 is the cleanest entry to one of Tokyo's best modern-French rooms. Worth the trip.

Hiroyasu Kawate opened Florilège in Aoyama in 2009 and earned the second Michelin star in 2017; the room moved to its current basement space on Jingumae in 2022. The lunch tasting at ¥18,000 (about $130 in May 2026) runs five courses against the dinner's eight — the signature aged-beef course with the same producer-network supply chain, the trout from Hokkaido. The lunch sake-and-wine pairing at ¥10,000 is the most-considered Japanese-French pairing in the city. Reservations open via the house platform 60 days out at 09:00 JST.

8. Den lunch — Jingumae, Tokyo

Modern Japanese tasting · 2-3-18 Jingumae · ¥18,000 lunch / ¥38,000 dinner · Two Michelin stars

Zaiyu Hasegawa's lunch at ¥18,000 is the cleanest Den experience; the DFC and the garden salad are on the menu. Try it once.

Zaiyu Hasegawa moved Den from Jimbocho to Jingumae in 2017 and the room has held two Michelin stars since 2018. The lunch tasting at ¥18,000 (about $130 in May 2026) runs six courses including the famous DFC (Den fried chicken) and the garden salad with cured vegetables, which the room treats as a course in itself. The wine list is short and house-poured and the lunch is the cleaner case for the room over the longer dinner. Reservations open via the house platform 60 days out at noon JST.

12. Sushi Tokami — Ginza, Tokyo

Edomae sushi tasting · 8-2-10 Ginza · ¥16,500 omakase · One Michelin star

Hiroyuki Sato's Ginza counter; the aged-tuna program is the most-considered value omakase in central Tokyo. Reserve weeks ahead.

Hiroyuki Sato runs Sushi Tokami on Ginza 8-chome and the room earned one Michelin star in 2014; the kitchen specialises in aged tuna with a curing program that runs from three days to two weeks for different cuts. The ¥16,500 omakase (about $115 in May 2026) covers 18 pieces and a hand roll closer; the same chef works the counter at lunch and dinner. The seven-seat counter takes phone reservations 60 days out and the morning Sato cures the day's nigiri at 04:00 is the practical reason the room runs only one seating at lunch.

13. Asador Etxebarri lunch — Axpe, Bizkaia

Wood-fire Basque tasting · Plaza San Juan 1, Axpe · €264 tasting (the only menu) · One Michelin star, World's 50 Best #1 in 2023

Bittor Arginzoniz's wood-fire room in the Atxondo valley; the only menu is €264 and the bookings list is six months long. Fly in for it once.

Bittor Arginzoniz has run Asador Etxebarri in the Atxondo valley since 1990 and the room earned the World's 50 Best top ranking in 2023. The tasting at €264 (about $290 — slightly above the $200 cap but included as the closest justifiable price-tier exception and one of the most-recommended single meals on the list) runs ten courses entirely cooked over charcoal grilled to Arginzoniz's specific technique. The signature smoked milk ice cream and the cured chistorra sausage are the canonical dishes. Reservations open via Resy six months out at 18:00 CET; the Saturday lunch sittings are gone within an hour.

Latin America

9. Maido lunch — Miraflores, Lima

Nikkei tasting · calle San Martín 399 · PEN 580 lunch / PEN 920 dinner · One Michelin star, World's 50 Best #1 in 2024

Mitsuharu Tsumura's Nikkei lunch at PEN 580 is the cheapest entry to a World's 50 Best #1 room. Try it once.

Mitsuharu Tsumura opened Maido in Miraflores in 2009 and the room earned the World's 50 Best top ranking in 2024. The Nikkei tasting at PEN 580 (about $155 in May 2026) at lunch runs seven courses against the dinner's twelve — the signature amazonia course with paiche fish from the Peruvian rainforest is on both, but the lunch's tighter pacing makes the kitchen's restraint more legible. Reservations open via the house platform 60 days out at 10:00 PET; the Saturday lunch sittings hold the longest.

10. Quintonil lunch — Polanco, Mexico City

Modern Mexican tasting · Av. Isaac Newton 55 · MXN 2,950 lunch / MXN 4,200 dinner · Two Michelin stars, World's 50 Best #3 in 2024

Jorge Vallejo's lunch at MXN 2,950 is the cleanest entry to one of the top three rooms in Latin America. Pencil it in.

Jorge Vallejo and Alejandra Flores opened Quintonil in Polanco in 2012; the room earned two Michelin stars in the 2024 Mexico guide and ranked World's 50 Best #3 in the 2024 list. The lunch tasting at MXN 2,950 (about $165 in May 2026) runs six courses against the dinner's twelve — the signature charred avocado with escamoles (ant larvae) and the masa-and-mushroom course are on both. Reservations open via the house platform 60 days out.

18. Pujol lunch — Polanco, Mexico City

Modern Mexican tasting · Tennyson 133 · MXN 3,150 lunch / MXN 4,500 dinner · Two Michelin stars (2024)

Enrique Olvera's lunch tasting at MXN 3,150 includes the mole madre — the only dish in the world aged 2,500-plus days. Worth the flight.

Enrique Olvera opened Pujol in 2000 and the current Tennyson 133 location in 2017; the room earned two Michelin stars in the 2024 Mexico guide. The lunch tasting at MXN 3,150 (about $175 in May 2026) includes the mole madre — Olvera's continuously-aged mole, served alongside a younger mole nuevo, with the aged version reportedly past 2,500 days of feeding. The mezcal-and-natural-wine pairing at MXN 1,800 is the most-considered Mexican-spirit pairing at any tasting room. Reservations open via the house platform 60 days out.

21. Boragó lunch — Vitacura, Santiago

Modern Chilean tasting · San Josemaría Escrivá de Balaguer 5970 · CLP 95,000 lunch · World's 50 Best Latin America

Rodolfo Guzmán's foraged Chilean tasting; the lunch at CLP 95,000 buys 14 courses of Patagonian ingredient. Reserve weeks ahead.

Rodolfo Guzmán opened Boragó in Santiago in 2006 and the room has appeared in Latin America's 50 Best since the inaugural 2013 list. The lunch tasting at CLP 95,000 (about $110 in May 2026) runs 14 courses built around foraged ingredients from Patagonia, the Atacama, and the Andes — sea-urchin emulsion, fresh-water crayfish from the Cachapoal river, Mapuche heritage grains. The room seats 40 across two floors. Reservations open via the house platform 30 days out.

Oceania

17. Mejico — Sydney CBD, Sydney

Modern Mexican tasting · 105 Pitt Street · AUD 195 tasting · Two-hat Sydney

The two-hat Sydney room running an AUD 195 tasting through 100-plus mezcals and aged tequilas. Pencil it in.

Mejico on Pitt Street in central Sydney runs an eight-course Mexican tasting at AUD 195 (about $130 in May 2026) with a mezcal-and-natural-wine flight at AUD 95. The kitchen is led by executive chef Mauricio Terraza and the program runs through 100-plus mezcals and tequilas — the largest agave-spirit cellar in Australia. The signature smoked ceviche and the cabrito (kid goat) are on the tasting. Reservations open via the house platform 30 days out.

Africa

22. The Test Kitchen lunch — Woodstock, Cape Town

Modern South African tasting · The Old Biscuit Mill, 375 Albert Road · ZAR 2,950 lunch · World's 50 Best Africa

Luke Dale-Roberts' Woodstock kitchen; the lunch tasting at ZAR 2,950 is the cheapest top-50 African room. Worth the flight.

Luke Dale-Roberts opened The Test Kitchen in the Old Biscuit Mill in Woodstock in 2010; the room has ranked in Latin America's, Asia's and Africa's 50 Best lists since 2013. The lunch tasting at ZAR 2,950 (about $160 in May 2026) runs eight courses against the dinner's twelve, with the signature beetroot tartare and the kingklip with broth. The room reopened in 2024 after the post-pandemic hiatus; Dale-Roberts works the floor most lunches. Reservations open via the house platform 60 days out.

Avoid for this list

Eleven Madison Park lunch service (New York). EMP closed the lunch service in 2022 and has not reopened it; the room operates only at dinner with a single $375 tasting. Anyone routed to "EMP lunch" by an older listicle is being sent to a service that has not existed for four years. The Atomix lunch at $175 is the closest substitute in the same neighbourhood tier.

Single-Michelin-star rooms charging over $250 for a basic five-course tasting (New York and Los Angeles). A growing class of one-Michelin-star rooms in the major American markets now prices the basic chef's tasting at $275-$325 without the cellar, room or service to justify the spend. Lyle's at £85 and Septime at €110 deliver more kitchen ambition for less than half the price. Specific examples redacted; the pattern is in the Resy-driven Lower East Side and Hollywood new-opening tier.

Asador Etxebarri for a quick lunch (Axpe). The €264 tasting is the only menu and it is the case for the room. The detour from Bilbao is 50 minutes each way; the lunch sittings run three hours; the Atxondo valley's two bars are part of the experience and any traveller booking Etxebarri as a tight-window stop will undersell the day. Block the full afternoon or pick a different Basque grill.

Reservation strategy for under-$200 tastings

The under-$200 tier rewards different reservation tactics than the three-star rooms. Septime, Atomix and Florilège open at fixed times on fixed dates (the 21st of the month for Septime; 28 days out for Atomix; 60 days out for Florilège) and the windows close in minutes — set a calendar alarm five minutes before the release. Lyle's, Tuome, Brat and Migrant Kitchen run rolling 30-day windows on Resy and weekday seats remain into the same week. St. John takes phone reservations only and the bar after 21:30 is the walk-in move. For Asian rooms, the morning local-time release at 09:00 or 10:00 is the cleanest window — Florilège opens at 09:00 JST 60 days out and the seven-seat counter is gone within an hour.

The lunch carve-out tactic — booking the cheaper midday menu at a more-expensive dinner room — works best at Atomix, Lazy Bear, Florilège, Den, Maido, Quintonil and Pujol. The room operates at half capacity at lunch, the booking culture has not yet caught up, and the kitchen team is the same. The Saturday lunch at Maido and the Tuesday lunch at Atomix are the underbooked moves in May and October 2026.

FAQ

What counts as a tasting menu under $200 in 2026?

Per person, excluding drinks, service and taxes, currency-converted at the mid-May 2026 FX. The cap catches Septime at €110, Lyle's at £85, Atomix's lunch at $175, Frantzén Brasserie at SEK 1,650 and Florilège's lunch at ¥18,000 — all of which land between $130 and $190 in USD terms. Wine pairing is excluded from the cap; service and VAT add another 15-25% in most cities outside the United States, where service is usually 20-22% on the pre-tax bill.

Are these the lunch menus or the dinner menus?

Both. About half the list is dinner-only (Septime, Lyle's, Tuome) where the chef runs a single price point. The other half is a lunch carve-out at a more-expensive dinner room — Atomix, Lazy Bear, Florilège, Den, Maido, Quintonil, Pujol, Le Calandre. The lunch tasting at these rooms typically runs five to seven courses against the dinner's ten to fifteen and is often where the chef tests new dishes.

How does Atomix's $175 lunch compare to the $250 dinner?

The lunch is the more-considered single sitting. Junghyun and Ellia Park run a five-course lunch at $175 with the same kitchen team, the same rice course, and a 70-minute window rather than the dinner's 130-minute tasting. The room runs at half occupancy at lunch — the second seating starts at 13:30 — and the counter sound level is lower. For a first visit, the lunch is the cleaner introduction to the kitchen's range.

Which of these are easiest to book?

Lyle's takes walk-ins at the bar and the dining-room reservation window is 30 days out via Resy; weekday seats remain into the same week. St. John in Smithfield runs a phone-only reservation system and walk-ins at the bar after 21:30; the chop and the bone marrow are the dishes. Tuome in the East Village runs a same-day text-message confirmation list. Septime is the hardest — release at 09:00 Paris on the 21st of the month for the following month.

Is a wine pairing worth the spend at these price points?

Usually no. The pairing at most of these rooms doubles the per-head spend and at the under-$200 tier the wine programs are not deep enough to justify the markup. The exception is Frantzén Brasserie, where the SEK 950 pairing pours through the Frantzén cellar's allocations at a brasserie price; and Florilège, where the ¥10,000 sake-and-wine pairing runs a Japanese-French structure no other room replicates. For the others, order two glasses by the glass and a bottle of house red.

Which under-$200 tasting will hold three Michelin stars within two years?

Sünn in Lisbon is the closest. Chef Bruno Caseiro opened the room in 2022, earned one Michelin star in the 2024 Iberia guide and the second was added in 2026. The €105 tasting at five courses is structurally below where the kitchen will price within two years. Frantzén Brasserie's parent room already holds three; the brasserie itself will not be promoted because the operation deliberately runs at a different price point. The other contenders are David Toutain (two stars, the third has been close since 2021) and Lazy Bear (one Michelin star in San Francisco, the second is a 2027 candidate).

Do any of these rooms run a no-reservation walk-in policy?

St. John in London takes walk-ins at the bar after 21:30 nightly and at lunch from 12:00; the kitchen serves the full menu including the famous roast bone marrow. Lyle's bar takes walk-ins until 22:30. Asador Etxebarri in Axpe runs no walk-ins (reserve six months out via Resy) but the village's two-bar drinking circuit before lunch is the social half of the experience. Brat London takes walk-ins on the ground-floor bar.

What's the best under-$200 tasting in Asia?

Den's lunch at ¥18,000 (~$120) is the cleanest answer — Zaiyu Hasegawa's full creative range, including the DFC (Den fried chicken) and the salad with the chef's signature garden vegetables. Florilège's lunch at ¥18,000 is the more-structured French-Japanese tasting. Sushi Tokami in Ginza at ¥16,500 is the most-considered sub-$200 sushi tasting in Tokyo — 18 pieces with the aged-tuna specialism that defines the room.
