Roppongi 六本木 - Wolfgang Puck's Cafe - Restaurant

Anyone who has ever watched the Academy Awards, or visited his restaurant Spago in California has heard of the Austrian chef Wolfgang Puck.

He is a culinary powerhouse and given credit for revolutionizing American cuisine - more specifically California cuisine.

Now Tokyo has 2 locations one in Roppongi and another more casual outlet located in Shinjuku - and he is not stopping there...with plans to significantly increase his presence with a 10 year goal to open an additional 90+ other restaurants.

The restaurant was very modern, and crowded with expats with their families, tourists and locals, so I ate at the bar counter. The menu was varied and included Puck's famous pizza options -the Salmon Pizza was delicious. I also enjoyed the Shrimp Pad Thai, which was quite good and the portion size was just right. The service was good and the staff were attentive without being overly so.

All the best....Mark
