chanfe Tokyo

Voted Japan’s Top 10 Italian Restaurant

A DESTINATION

Since we opened our doors in January 2023, we've proudly claimed the title of Japan's #1 wine bar and established ourselves as one of Tokyo's top Italian restaurants. Featured in leading magazines, we're now preparing to launch our second location this year.

Palatable

We meticulously craft every dish with utmost attention to detail, ensuring an unparalleled dining experience.

CRAFTED IN THE KITCHEN

Dining at a restaurant is something we all enjoy.

While it's expected that the food should taste good, if ordinary dishes are simply presented in an ordinary way, is there really a need to open a new restaurant?

If we're going to do something, we want to express ideas that no one else is exploring and create something uniquely our own.

With this mindset, we dedicate ourselves to cooking every day, continuously embracing new challenges.

BEAUTIFUL WINE IN CUTE GLASS

A carefully curated wine list from the owner who established a thriving restaurant in Los Angeles, so successful that Napa and Sonoma wineries come directly to pitch their wines.

Enjoy a selection of wines that pair perfectly with our dishes, as well as bold wines that are delightful on their own.

With our course menus, we invite both wine enthusiasts and novices to experience a blissful moment and deepen their love for wine through our diverse and exquisite offerings.

CHANFE TOKYO

The name "Chanfe Tokyo" doesn’t carry a specific meaning.

We hope it will become a place where we create new stories together with our guests and simply enjoy delightful times.

We look forward to the day when this seemingly meaningless name will come to hold significance for both us and our customers.
