Food dilettantes need not apply
There are so many plants around the entrance of A Tes Souhaits you'd be forgiven for thinking this is one of those feminine restaurants where flowers and fancy frills take precedence over the food. The sight of the sous-chef squatting by the kitchen door plucking a wild fowl should disillusion you of...

Kinoji: A sanctuary of simple elegance
Kinoji lies well off the beaten track, on an unremarkable stretch of a nondescript avenue. But that only makes it easier to spot the bold, contemporary lines of the five-story architects' building, in which Kinoji occupies the basement level.

Taverna Rondino: Kamakura's most excellent cucina
Now that summer is finally past its punishing prime, it's time for the beach.

'Wabi-sabi' with a modern edge
Wasabiya epitomizes the very 1990s genre that has come to be known in Japanese as "dining bars." That means you can treat it as a restaurant, as an izakaya or even as a kind of designer drinking hold; it just depends on how hungry or thirsty you are.

An old street favorite makes good
Okonomiyaki: It's the ultimate street food, stomach-filling, easy to prepare and just as fast to consume.

Kokotei: Kamakura cuisine with a view
For most city folk, the best thing about Kamakura is the reassurance that it actually exists. We don't need to go there so often: It's enough to know that, less than an hour away down the JR tracks, there really are quiet backstreets to wander in, temples and monuments exuding a whiff of history, brine...

And this is where we head for whenever those cravings...
