246 Common is an outdoor mobile/trailer food court/farmer’s market community in the middle of Aoyama/Omotesando. They have over 20 or so very small shops which range from flower & clothing shops to bakeries, restaurants or drinks/snacks. If you’re not paying attention, you could easily miss this little gem in the middle of the busy city. Everything at 246 Common is located outdoors but there are two tents with heaters inside as well if you plan to dine here. If you’re ever in this area, I recommend checking it out.

This is what we snacked on when we came here :)

This popular cafe is shockingly crowded for being in the most random spot… I’m really not sure how people know about this place on the fifth floor of an unassuming building at the end of a small side street? Perhaps there’s a lot of Yoshitomo Nara fans because this cafe is designed by him. Yoshitomo Nara is a famous pop artist from Japan who has had exhibits in places such as MoMA in NY and Moca in LA. This place was recommended to us by a friend so we decided to check it out since we were in the area.

As soon as you walk in, it’s filled with Yoshitomo’s work and there is a small cottage in the center that has many of his artwork pieces inside. The food was pretty good and we saw many couples and friends who were there to enjoy the afternoon. My only wish is that they differentiated the smoking and non-smoking sections a little better. A quiet neighborhood place to take a break from shopping in the hustle and bustle of Omotesando.

Been wanting to try this restaurant for a while now and had a nice meal with some friends for lunch. CICADA serves mediterranean food which you don’t really get in Tokyo. I’ve been craving for some good hummus and I finally got it.

All of us got the 2900yen lunch course which comes with Tapas/Mezze/Soup + Main Dish + Dessert + Cafe. Everything we had was delicious — but too much food! Will be ordering the regular lunches instead of the lunch course next time :) The desserts however were just ok.

PS: CICADA is owned by the same group as Breadworkds in Tennozu Isle.
