Our restaurant is located just a 1-minute walk from Akasaka-Mitsuke Station. The interior is stylish and has a calm atmosphere, with a live kitchen right in front of you where they prepare the best Japanese beef of the day for charcoal-grilled steaks and creative Italian dishes. It's a great place for dates, anniversaries, or girls' nights out. The must-try dish is the grilled steak! I also highly recommend trying the pasta topped with hamburger steak. Here are the dishes we ordered: - Domestic beef carpaccio with yuzu pepper sauce ¥1,480 - Japanese beef hormone and mushroom ajillo ¥1,280 - Baguette ¥280 x 2 - Domestic beef sirloin ¥2,180 - Iwate Prefecture's Mezawa beef A5 lamp ¥3,480 - Marco's meat spaghetti ¥1,980 - Asahi Jukusen beer ¥880 x 2 - Homemade lemonade ¥580 Total: ¥13,300 + 10% service charge. The most impressive dish was the Iwate Prefecture's Mezawa beef A5 lamp. The meat was incredibly tender and juicy, with a rich flavor that fills your mouth and leaves you nodding in approval. It melts in your mouth, making you feel blissful. It's delicious with wasabi or garlic chips for added flavor, or simply with salt to savor the meat's natural taste. The Japanese beef hormone and mushroom ajillo was also delightful, with tender hormone and plenty of mushrooms simmered in oil. The meat spaghetti, a specialty of the house, featured chewy pasta with a strong texture that was truly delicious. Although the portions seemed small at first, they were actually quite satisfying. However, after finishing, I found myself wanting more of this addictive pasta. MEAT&GRILL MARCO is a meat lover's paradise! The dishes made with fresh Japanese beef are all delicious, and you can enjoy watching them being cooked in the live kitchen, making the counter seats a great choice. The friendly staff provide excellent service and explanations, making the experience even more enjoyable. It's a wonderful place to visit with friends or a loved one.

The second daughter often goes to MEAT&GRILLMARCO in Akasaka, which is always crowded. Despite being concerned about it getting even more crowded, as a blogger, she feels the urge to share good restaurants with everyone. Her husband, who is currently free due to being away for a conference, invited her out. They made a reservation, which turned out to be a good decision as the restaurant was very crowded. They had Asahi's Jukusen beer and adult white peach juice for drinks. The meat takes some time to cook, so it's recommended to order appetizers first. They had a Japanese beef Tataki Yukke style, which was topped with a sauce made with Sansho pepper. Mixing the runny egg yolk with the meat enhanced its sweetness. Underneath the meat, there were plenty of sliced onions. They also had Pilzner Urquell beer. The anchovy and leek ajillo with baguette bread was crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. The amount of anchovies was surprisingly large, blending well with the leeks. They also had Shiraz wine and adult grape juice. They ordered today's assorted Japanese beef with grilled vegetables, cooked medium rare. The meats were tender and easily fell apart with a fork. They were cooked without strong saltiness, highlighting the natural flavors of the ingredients. They were served with garlic chips, wasabi from Shizuoka, and whole grain mustard from Australia. The vegetables were all delicious. For dessert, they tried the famous Marco Meat Spa, which is served as a hamburger patty before the pasta to make it easier to eat a lot of meat. The sauce was demi-glace and the noodles were made using udon-making techniques, resulting in a chewy texture. The staff kindly shredded the meat in front of them. Despite being constantly full with no break between reservations, the staff always provided a fresh towel when going to the restroom, showing their thoughtful service. The food was excellent, and the customer service was exceptional, with the staff even seeing them off outside. It was a delightful dining experience from start to finish. A second branch is also planned to open, which is not surprising given their quality. They are looking forward to visiting the new location as well.

The interior of the store is stylish, beautiful, and calming. There are table seats and counter seats. You can relax quite comfortably even at the counter. The course is all about meat from start to finish! I enjoyed a variety of meats including prosciutto, pate, duck, mini burgers, and steak!

I made a last-minute online reservation and the restaurant was crowded. The food was delicious, well-presented, and the atmosphere was great. I was very satisfied. The customers included couples on a date and groups having office parties, so it seems like a place suitable for various occasions.

The meat at this restaurant for my friend's birthday celebration was amazing - so tender it melted in my mouth. The combination of potatoes and mentaiko in the ajillo was something I tried for the first time! The staff even helped us divide the salad. The restaurant is clean and has a great atmosphere. It's a bit pricey, so it's recommended to go with a few people or for special occasions.

I wanted to eat delicious meat, so after work, I went with my friends to the meat bar MEAT & GRILL MARCO, which is conveniently located just a 2.3-minute walk from Akasaka Mitsuke. The modern and stylish interior of the restaurant creates a comfortable and chic atmosphere. We were seated at the counter this time, where we could see the cooking happening right in front of us in the open kitchen, adding a live element to the dining experience. We ordered a la carte dishes, including Mori's hojicha tea, assorted appetizers, colorful vegetable bagna cauda, a selection of Japanese beef, Marco meat spaghetti, affogato, and seasonal coffee. The food was delicious and the staff's attention to detail, such as providing hot towels regularly, made the dining experience even more enjoyable. It's no wonder the restaurant was full by the time we left.

I was recommended a wonderful restaurant in the adult district of Akasaka Mitsuke. It's a city with many delicious dining options, but I never knew there was such a stylish and cozy place hidden away. The restaurant was already popular and quickly filled up. The atmosphere inside was also lovely. I visited with friends and we started with a toast at the counter, selecting Mr. Morita's hojicha tea. It had a great aroma and was easy to drink. Since it was our first time at the restaurant, we decided to try the daily appetizer assortment. The appetizer assortment included four items from the appetizer menu at a good price. The contents vary depending on the day. On this day, it included prosciutto, seasonal pickles, Marco's potato salad, and marinated semi-dried tomatoes and olives. The prosciutto was plentiful and delicious, the potato salad was smooth and tasty, and the pickles were colorful and stylish. The grilled meat was recommended, so we chose the wagyu beef. The wagyu beef assortment included Ibaraki Ichibo and Ishigaki beef Katasankaku, along with a colorful grilled vegetable assortment. It was served with Australian mustard, Shizuoka real wasabi, and garlic chips. The meat was seasoned and delicious on its own. The Katasankaku beef was lean and refreshing, while the Ichibo was juicy and tender with a melt-in-your-mouth texture. The grilled summer vegetables were also colorful and trendy. I highly recommend trying Marco's meat spa, which features chewy noodles specially ordered from a long-established udon shop in Awaji. The meatballs on top were served at the table, and the noodles were thick and chewy with a delicious sauce. For dessert, we enjoyed a freshly ground, aromatic coffee and coconut milk gelato. Every dish was surprisingly delicious, the service was excellent, and I became a big fan of the restaurant. They also serve lunch on weekends, so I definitely want to visit again.

Located on the second floor of a building right near Akasaka-Mitsuke Station, this restaurant offers a calm and moody atmosphere, perfect for a sophisticated hideaway experience. The open kitchen adds a lively touch, with counter seats for a close-up view and table seats for group gatherings. Reservations are a must as the place was fully booked even on a weeknight. The menu offers both courses and a la carte options. The must-order item is the grilled dishes, but before that, start with a refreshing white peach sparkling drink for a toast. = APPETIZER = - Seasonal pickles: A perfect balance of sourness and sweetness, great for refreshing the palate on a hot day. - Cherry shrimp and anchovy cabbage: Crispy cabbage with a savory aroma of cherry shrimp and anchovy, a delightful combination. - Colorful vegetable bagna cauda: A gentle bagna cauda sauce served with fresh vegetables, offering a variety of flavors to enjoy. - Japanese beef carpaccio with yuzu pepper sauce: Rare beef slices with a punchy yuzu pepper sauce, a perfect match of flavors. = Today's GRILL = - Assorted charcoal-grilled meats: A selection of Hokkaido Wagyu A5 rump, Ibaraki Rose Pork shoulder loin, and grilled vegetables, perfectly cooked with a crispy exterior and juicy interior. - Garlic chips, wasabi from Shizuoka, and Tasmanian mustard seeds complement the meats beautifully. = PASTA = - Marco's signature meat pasta: A unique dish where a hamburger is added to the pasta at the table, creating a rich and satisfying meal. = DESERT = - Coconut milk gelato and tropical fruit sorbet: A refreshing way to end the meal with coconut gelato and fruit sorbet.

We used this restaurant to celebrate the birthday of a junior who has been close since college and lives in Shirokane. The overall meat was delicious. The conversation got so lively that we ended up eating each course dish slowly, which we felt sorry for the restaurant. Despite being beautiful enough, the impact of going to Korea for plastic surgery was too strong. The prices are high, so I would like to use it again for special occasions like birthdays at Executive Dining.

Located on the way from Akasaka-Mitsuke Station to Hitotsugi Street, "MEAT & GRILL MARCO" was bustling with customers even on a weekday after the Obon holiday. Luckily, we had made a reservation in advance. The restaurant features an open kitchen style with a counter and tables surrounding the grilling area. We sat at the counter and started with a toast with sparkling wine. We ordered the grilled meat platter first, which takes time to cook. We also enjoyed dishes like "Domestic Beef Carpaccio with Yuzu Pepper Sauce" and "Anchovy Cabbage with Cherry Shrimp" while watching the meat being grilled in front of us. The carpaccio had a flavorful sauce with a nice kick, and the cabbage dish was a great accompaniment to drinks. We also tried the "Colorful Vegetable Bagna Cauda" and seasonal pickles for some variety. The highlight was the "Grilled Meat Platter" featuring Hokkaido Yuubetsu Wagyu A5 Lamp and Ibaraki Rose Pork Shoulder. Both meats were cooked perfectly and served with high-quality accompaniments like Aomori garlic chips and Tasmanian mustard seeds. We ended the meal with the signature "MEAT SPAGHETTI" with a whole hamburger patty on top, which was delicious and filling. We finished with a light dessert of "Coconut Gelato" and "Tropical Fruit Sorbet" to cool down. The selection of meat, dishes, and drinks at MEAT & GRILL MARCO was excellent, and the attentive staff made the dining experience even better. It's no wonder the restaurant was quickly filled up during the evening rush hour.

I visited "MEAT & GRILL MARCO" located in Akasaka Mitsuke on this day. It is on the 2nd floor, and there is an elevator available. Upon entering, I took a seat at a table. The warm wood and concrete walls give the place a stylish atmosphere. I started with a "Cheers Sparkling" for a toast. When asked about the steak doneness, I requested medium rare. The appetizers included potato salad, prosciutto, olive and tomato marinated, and a nut assortment finished with cherry chips. I could tell that each dish was carefully crafted. The potato salad was smooth and delicious, complemented by Tasmanian mustard. The smoked nuts alone could go well with 2-3 drinks, they were very tasty. Next, I ordered white wine, a French wine made from Sauvignon Blanc grapes, although the specific brand was not mentioned, it was refreshing and tasty. Then, I had a chilled fruit carrot potage, with a sweet carrot flavor perfect for summer. The Caesar salad had chunks of charcoal-grilled bacon, thick and juicy, with a smoky aroma, very delicious. The signature macaron burger had a crispy bun with a flavorful small hamburger patty, simple and tasty. It was slightly dry but had a sweet treat-like quality that I enjoyed. I then ordered red wine (Merlot) to go with the upcoming lamb steak. For the main course, I had a comparison of lamb and sirloin steaks. The lamb was tender with just the right amount of juicy fat, very delicious. Mixing mustard seeds and garlic chips added depth to the flavor. The sirloin was also tender and tasty, but due to age, the fat was strong, so I enjoyed it with wasabi and vegetables. The grilled vegetables were all flavorful and delicious. For pasta, I chose the lemon and cheese Genovese, perfect for summer. The thick noodles and Genovese sauce paired well and were delicious. For dessert, I had coconut gelato, which I enjoyed with a fragrant charcoal coffee. After paying the bill, I was escorted to the elevator. Although the restaurant focuses on meat, every dish was delicious, and I had a very satisfying dinner. The staff were all very hospitable, making it a great restaurant. Thank you for the meal.

Maruko's signature meat spaghetti comes with a whole hamburger on top, which the staff will break up and mix in for you. It's juicy and perfect for meat lovers. The appetizers and meat dishes were delicious, and the staff left a good impression. I definitely want to go back to this restaurant.

We made a reservation for two on a regular night and visited for the first time. The restaurant is located in a great location, very close to Akasaka Mitsuke Station and Akasaka Station. The interior is very stylish with an open kitchen. There are counter seats and table seats. It was almost full on a weekday night. Although it opened just last November, it is already a popular restaurant. We ordered a variety of items a la carte on this day. The menu has recommendations written on it, making it easy to choose. The signature menu of this restaurant, the charcoal-grilled dishes, lineup with the best items of the day. The price varies depending on the type and cut. On this day, we ordered the premium Wagyu assortment. It included Sendai beef A5 Ichibo, Saga beef A5 Katasankaku, and grilled vegetables, a super luxurious combination! We sat at the counter on this day, so we could enjoy the excitement of watching the charcoal grilling right in front of us. The slightly fragrant and juicy and tender meat was delicious! We could also choose the level of doneness when ordering, and it was perfect at medium rare. The vegetables were also sweet and delicious. We were satisfied. The mango and burrata caprese had very sweet seasonal mangoes, creamy burrata, and a contrast of olive oil and salt that was enjoyable. This is a must-order as well. The duck and balsamic salad, especially the duck, was very delicious. The Wagyu hormone and mushroom ajillo had the umami of the hormone soaked in olive oil and was heavenly when dipped in bread. The service was polite and the food was delicious. It's a great place for everyday use or for a date. There were many other menu items that caught our attention, so we definitely want to visit again.

This is a place where you can fulfill your desire for "I want to eat a lot of meat, but not at a yakiniku restaurant, I want a more stylish place with healthy vegetable dishes and creative dishes that look good." Located a 2-3 minute walk from Akasaka-mitsuke Station Exit 10, on the 2nd floor of a food and drink building, the small and stylish interior features concrete walls and woody decor. There are lively counter seats in front of the kitchen, calm sofa seats in the back, and table seats near the entrance where you can enjoy the view from the window, each with its own charm. The grilled meat dishes use high-quality ingredients regardless of origin. The menu for the day is printed and the staff will explain various options. We ordered based on their recommendations. - Domestic beef Tataki and Yukke-style: $18.80 Thinly sliced beef Tataki grilled extremely rare, mixed with sweet and savory sauce and egg yolk. The Yukke, which is more substantial than the usual finely chopped one, was also excellent, especially when wrapped in onions. - Assorted raw ham: $14.80 A combination of smoked ham made from leg meat and fatty Coppa ham, each with a different taste and aroma, served with Wagyu rillette on a baguette, making it a perfect dish to go with drinks. If you drink alcohol, you must order this! - Mango and Burrata Caprese: $24.80 The creamy and rich Burrata paired with ripe and sweet mango is a match made in heaven. The salami with a spicy and salty taste adds a nice touch. - Sirloin Grill (Yamagata Prefecture-produced Yonezawa beef A5): $52.80 We ordered the recommended medium rare. The balance of tender red meat and marbled fat melting in the mouth was excellent, as expected from Sirloin. The grilling was done well without any peculiarities. - Grilled vegetable platter: $9.80 Colorful vegetables such as paprika, green and yellow zucchini, baby corn, snap peas, and spiral beets, all crunchy and flavorful. This dish should definitely be ordered alongside the meat. - Summer lemon and cheese Genovese pasta: $15.80 Udon-like chewy pasta with a refreshing basil and lemon sauce, topped with chopped mozzarella for an extra kick. For drinks, we started with a toast of Asahi Jukusen beer, followed by Urquell, Peroni, and other favorite brands. We chose Urquell, a classic beer with a unique taste that is not often found in other restaurants, so it was a delight to have it again. We also enjoyed the recommended red wine and homemade lemonade sour. The staff were friendly and provided detailed explanations, making the conversation enjoyable. They even brought fresh towels when we returned from the restroom, and with such high-class service, the 10% service charge was well worth it.

I stopped by after a hobby stamp rally to find some delicious meat. The dishes I had are as follows: - Domestic beef tataki and yukhoe style (1880 yen): The yukhoe had a great texture and sweetness, very delicious. - Assorted raw ham (1480 yen): It included speck, coppa, and wagyu rillettes on bread. The ham had a good amount of fat and paired well with wine. - Mango and burrata caprese (2480 yen): Creamy and sweet, a great combination. - Sirloin grill (Yamagata-produced Miyazawa beef A5) (5280 yen): Served with powdered mustard and wasabi, the meat was juicy and melted in the mouth. - Grilled vegetable platter (980 yen): Colorful and flavorful, a delicious side dish. - Summer lemon and cheese Genovese pasta (1580 yen): Made with pasta specially ordered from a long-established udon shop, the flavor of lemon and cheese was unique. - Fig gelato (380 yen): A light dessert to end the meal.

I'm curious about what other dishes they have, so I would like to visit again, even outside of summer.

When I hear the name Marco, I immediately think of "Marco Polo" traveling 3,000 miles to find his mother, haha. Also, there's Marco from One Piece and the former Drifters pro mahjong player Marco. But setting that aside, this time I went on a quest to find delicious meat at "MEAT & GRILL MARCO," located just a 1-minute walk from Akasaka-Mitsuke Station, in a great location. The interior has a chic and sexy atmosphere that I really like. You can even watch the cooking process live from the counter seats, where they use charcoal for grilling. One of Marco's charms is their wide selection of drinks. They have two types of sparkling wine for toasting: Dry Sparkling and White Peach Sparkling. - Marco's Recommended Dish: Japanese Beef Carpaccio with Yuzu Pepper Sauce - Marco's Recommended Dish: Today's Assorted Wagyu Beef - Marco's Recommended Dish: Mentaiko Cream Pasta All the dishes were delicious, and the quality was top-notch. The pasta was a bit heavy but still very tasty. Overall, everything was so good that I couldn't even consider dessert because I was so full, haha. Whether you choose to enjoy Marco with a course menu or order a la carte like I did, you'll definitely have a great experience. Their menu is extensive, so it may take some time and multiple visits to fully explore Marco's potential.

I would like to include this restaurant in my rotation of places to eat for meat lovers. The pounded meat with a hint of garlic was exquisite, and you could really taste the juiciness of the meat. I forgot to take a picture, but the meat sauce pasta was outstandingly delicious. It had the best chewiness I've ever experienced in pasta, and I heard they incorporate udon-making techniques. The garlic shrimp was also to my liking. I've already decided that I will definitely order the mentaiko garlic shrimp next time because it was so delicious. If I had to nitpick, I would say that I wish they would serve more substantial chunks of meat.

Located on the second floor of a building on a street just a short walk from Akasaka-Mitsuke Station, this restaurant offers creative Italian cuisine and a meat bar. Despite its small size, the restaurant has both table seating and a counter where you can watch the open kitchen. The wooden tables and lighting create a stylish atmosphere. We started with a toast with sparkling wine and ordered the assorted appetizers, which included coppa, carrot and date salad, potato salad, and grilled vegetables. The well-balanced and delicious appetizers paired perfectly with the wine. The recommended dish, domestic beef tartare Yukke-style, was like a meat salad. The combination of crunchy onion slices, egg yolk, and thinly sliced meat was melt-in-your-mouth tender. For the main course, we had the daily selection of meats, which on that day included lamb from Maesawa and rose pork, along with a grilled vegetable assortment. The lamb, cooked slowly over charcoal, was tender and sweet, while the rose pork had a firm texture and a refreshing taste. We enjoyed trying different condiments like garlic chips, mustard, and wasabi with the meats. For dessert, we had Marco's meat spa, a signature dish where the finishing touches are done tableside. The juicy meat is shaped like a hamburger and grilled, then all the meat fat is mixed into the pasta. The chewy pasta was exceptional and left us wanting more. The Pinot Noir served with the meal was a delicious wine that paired perfectly. The restaurant was packed with diners, a testament to its popularity in the bustling Akasaka area.

Located just a 2-3 minute walk from Akasaka Mitsuke Station, MEAT&GRILL MARCO is a hidden gem on the second floor of a building. The interior is clean and cozy, with a spacious layout featuring both counter and table seating. We ordered a variety of dishes from the a la carte menu, including a sparkling wine to start. The appetizer platter was a delicious mix of coppa, potato salad, pickles, carrot slaw, and more. For the main course, we chose the daily charcoal-grilled assortment, which included A5 Wagyu beef from Maesawa, Rose Pork from Iwate, and grilled vegetables. The Wagyu beef was incredibly tender and juicy, with a perfect balance of sweetness. The Rose Pork was also tender and flavorful, without being too heavy. The grilled vegetables were fresh and had a nice smoky flavor. We also tried the Tataki Yukke-style Wagyu beef, which was served with plenty of crunchy onions and rich egg yolk. To finish, we had Marco's Meat Spa pasta, made with a unique, chewy udon-based pasta and a delicious meat sauce. Overall, the meal was satisfying and the portions were generous. We left feeling very full and content, already planning our next visit to try more dishes with a larger group.

The restaurant is small but has a nice atmosphere. The dishes are not traditional Italian, but creative and interesting. We had a course meal, as shown in the photos. Everything was delicious. Personally, I prefer meat with less fat, so the Japanese beef was a bit too fatty for me. I followed the recommendation and had it rare or medium rare, but I think medium or well-done would be fine too. We finished with coffee, but next time I plan to try their specialty green tea. Thank you for the meal.
