Lovely, fancy and expensive French/European restaurant. A la carte may be expensive, but lunch set menu is excellent value for money at ¥98, which includes a glass of wine.

Din Tai Fung
Expensive but delicious Shanghai-style dumplings. Second floor is non-smoking.
Pure Lotus Vegetarian Restaurant
Upscale vegetarian restaurant. Setting and presentation is beautiful. In the tradition of Chinese vegetarianism, many of the dishes are typical dishes made with "mock" meat tofu. Try the mock Beijing duck. There's a second location inside Holiday Inn Lido Hotel.
Shintori
Shintori is an exquisite Japanese restaurant which is almost impossible to find. Once you do find your way in, one can't help but be wowed when entering the main dining area. The food at Shintori is unquestionably good, but be prepared to pay a little more here.
