Three Cafés, Three Experiences

The National Art Center, Tokyo has three cafés, each named after its unique interior layout and design. Salon de Thé Rond is a circular tea room situated at the top of our inverted cone-shaped atrium, directly in front of the second-floor exhibition rooms. This makes it a perfect place for visitors to experience an extraordinary space while discussing their impressions of one of NACT’s exhibitions or events. Café Coquille (the French word for “shell”) is an ideal place to relax, enveloped by the light that ripples like a shell as it streams through the glass curtain wall. This area also takes advantage of our 21-meter-high atrium space. Adjacent to the basement museum store is our Cafeteria Carré (the French word for “square”). This is a cafeteria-style restaurant where you can enjoy such casual dishes as hashed beef, pasta, soups, etc., just right for a light meal, a quick snack, or dessert. We are looking forward to seeing you at one of our three cafés, your selection based on your mood and purpose.
