If you’re looking for an unforgettable night in Tokyo, stop scrolling and book a table at CÉ LA VI Tokyo immediately. First, let’s talk about the view. We were lucky enough to get seated at one of the outdoor tables overlooking Shibuya Crossing, and I spent so much time staring down at the crowds below that I nearly forgot I came to eat. Watching thousands of people cross the intersection at once is oddly mesmerizing. It’s like watching human Tetris being played in real time. The staff deserves a gold medal in hospitality. Not only were they incredibly friendly and professional, but they accommodated every request we made. We wanted an outdoor table, and they made it happen. We asked questions, requested adjustments, and generally behaved like tourists trying to maximize every second of our Tokyo experience—and they handled it all with a smile. The atmosphere is what happens when luxury, fun, and one of the greatest city views on Earth decide to throw a party together. At one point I looked around and realized I was sitting above the world’s busiest intersection, enjoying great service, incredible views, and wondering if I should cancel the rest of my sightseeing because I had already peaked. If you’re visiting Tokyo and want to feel like the main character in your own movie for a few hours, CÉ LA VI is the place. Just be warned: after sitting on that terrace overlooking Shibuya Crossing, every other rooftop bar in the world may seem a little disappointing. 10/10. Would happily stare at pedestrians from 17 floors up again.

Ce la vi located at Shibuya is great location of you want to see the entire shibuya street crossing from a height. Make reservations if possible as you might not get a table with a view. There is a table charge of 1000 yen per person which is not a cover charge. Yet is worth the view. Would recommend to sip on a drink and watch the busy shibuya crossing.

Amazing first night in Tokyo was spent at Ce La Vi!! Highly recommend. I wasn’t expecting to get to grill our own food on a rooftop overlooking Tokyo but it was such a fun start to the trip! Drinks were great, music on point, service was outstanding, view was incredible!

We booked the restaurant on Valentine’s Day. The atmosphere is brilliant. Koki is very helpful, he makes sure we enjoy every moment when we were there. We found a little rubber piece in the food. He immediately take the action and apologized us. We have a great time with a 7 course dinner. What a romantic place to be with your love.

Ambiance was great. Got a bit noisy with other tables that were quite loud. Food was good but a bit on the greasy end. I supposed that’s passable for bar food. All in all I prefer this venue as a club rather than for dining.
