Mercedes-Benz Connection

Mercedes' new Roppongi flagship is a curious blend of bar, café and car showroom (complete with Herman Miller interior), just across the street from Tokyo Midtown's glistening towers. Sip espressos and lattes in the Downstairs Coffee café while gazing at luxurious vehicles that you'll probably never be able to afford, or head to the Upstairs bar/restaurant for lunchtime pastas or esoteric dinner options including 'avocado tortilla pizza' and brown rice risotto with raclette cheese. The drinks aren't quite as pricey as you might expect given the location, and with an open-air terrace and weekend DJ events lasting until 4am, this is one of Roppongi's most promising new hotspots.
