French restaurant Monolith, located just off Aoyama-dori —the road leading from Shibuya to Omotesando— a perfect venue for welcoming matured guests. When you go through the entrance door, you will see a short corridor leading you into the dining hall and away from the hustle and bustle of the street. The restaurant interior features moderate colors, providing the atmosphere of a French family-run restaurant.

Chef Ishii is a veteran chef with a brilliant track record, having won the second prize at Le Tetangier Concours Japon two years in a row and being selected as a "great restaurant" by the international gourmet guide.Chef Ishii focuses on creating course menus featuring dishes that incorporate an abundance of seasonal vegetables. Amongst these, his monthly menu Menu Neo Monolith showcases many Japanese ingredients with dishes full of seasonal specialties from Japan, attracting many regular guests who look forward to a new experience.
