Tudore Tranquility - Tokyo

Tudore Tranquility was one of the best dining experiences I've ever had the pleasure to encounter. And that's just what it was not just a meal. Not just dinner. An experience an elegant, beautiful one of high artistry, impeccable design, colors, taste and aroma... all of it simply cannot be described well in words, one has to be there to understand. Everything was perfect from start to finish. And I truly appreciated the accommodations made toward the requirements of being fully plant based (as an anti speciesist vegan myself), as well as for various allergies. I can't recommend them enough, and I'm truly grateful to the incredible Tudore Tranquility Team for everything.

Went yesterday with 2 non vegan friends and we loved it. Every meal was unique delicious.

This was a very unique culinary experience. I would absolutely recommend it to any foodie, vegetarian or vegan or not, who would like an evening of fine dining. The food was art. The plating was art. And the man who took care of us in the dining room was quite literally one of the loveliest humans possible. The chef came out at the end and we talked about the meal and food in general. She clearly cares about what she is doing from both a taste perspective and a nutritional perspective and it shows in every bite. I particularly loved the savory foods and the wines. And even though the portions are appropriately sized for a set menu with so many courses, I left full. If it's within your budget to go but you're just not sure it's worth it then I would encourage you to go. It really is worth it.

The food we were served over 8 courses was nothing less than amazing. There were really interesting flavor combinations and it was all excellently put together and beautifully arranged. Although it could be seen as pricey, we thought it was well worth the cost. There are two main reasons I felt Tudore Tranquility should get 4 stars instead of 5. The first is how long the dinner took. It is a course dinner so I knew it would take longer than usual dinners but it took roughly three hours from the minute we sat down. I don’t mind waiting between courses. I don’t mind spending more time than usual on dinner, especially for one as delicious as this one but 3 hours felt like it was just a bit too long. My partner and I were both feeling antsy by the end of it. The second reason for the docked star was that it wasn’t a very relaxed experience. This was due to a couple things. One was that the only other people in the dining area was another couple so it was oddly empty and quiet which made it feel awkward with awkward silences and easily overhearing the other table. The music was quiet and gentle which didn’t help. Obviously only having one other table filled wasn’t something they could control (they did mention they had a cancellation earlier) but it didn’t help things feel comfortable. On top of this, the service and experience, though very friendly, felt a lot more formal than we were expecting which made it feel more awkward as well. All of that being said, it was really good food and I’m glad we got to try it

Everything is beautifully arranged, worth dining regardless of your dietary practice
