Vampire Cafe, Ginza, Tokyo, Japan

The waitresses dress in Gothic French maid outfits and the waiters wear tuxedos. Each table comes with a bell, which you can ring for a “Vampire’s blood cocktail” or a cigarette.
All of the menu items have vampiric names, which you won’t be able to decipher if you can’t read kanji. The cuisine is best described as an Italian/French/Japanese mix. Vampire Café’s morbid motifs extend to the food presentation; an order marinated octopus suckers and smoked salmon comes in a little burial casket; “raw” spring rolls filed with tuna are arranged in a cross on a bed of thinly-sliced tomatoes.
Not all diners were sated by the experience. One reviewer complained that the duck and the herb-crust chicken both came with same miso-based “vampire” gravy and vegetables. Another said that the food is unexceptional and the portions are too small for the price, which can exceed $100 for two people.
