What to know

TEIEN Restaurant comodo is an Italian restaurant next to the Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum in Shirokanedai, serving pasta and European dishes in a dining room with museum-grade glass windows that look onto the garden. Creator @tokyoretreat_life.trip lists Comodo in Shirokanedai among its ten garden cafes, pointing to the view of the plants around it rather than the food alone. The carbonara pasta is the specialty. Comodo also offers special courses tied to museum exhibitions, so the menu can change with the art on display. Japanese diners rate the restaurant at 3.47/5, a moderate reception. Lunch fills quickly, so reserve in advance. Visit after the museum or the gardens, noting that garden entry may require a separate fee. The restaurant is open Tuesday through Sunday, closed Mondays, with lunch, afternoon, and dinner sessions.
