New York Grill
You may not be staying at the Park Hyatt, but don’t let that stop you from ascending to the 52nd floor to swoon over the stunning views of the city below. Prices may be as high as the altitude, but where else can you splurge on a romantic, sumptuous supper enhanced by sparkling night-time lights and live jazz? And in case everything looks familiar, the adjacent New York Grill & Bar was where Bill Murray drank glass upon glass of Suntory whiskey in Sofia Coppola’s Lost in Translation. Reservations are advised, especially on weekends and for brunch.

Wakkoku
If you're a carnivore, you'll want to try a bit of Kōbe's famous beef, and you'll find it cheaper and better here than overseas. Our favourite Kōbe beef place is this relatively approachable spot below the Crowne Plaza Kōbe. The steaks here are among the best we've had anywhere. We particularly like the way they 'introduce' your steak to you before they prepare it.
It's on the 3rd floor of the Avenue shopping centre at the base of the hotel, just outside the south elevator bank. There is no English sign - look for the black and grey marble exterior.

Sandaya Honten
If the New York Grill is glitzy and Western, Sandaya delivers wagyū (Japanese beef) in a humbler Japanese style, though you still get both the steak and the sizzle. Slices of beef arrive on a teppan (hot steel plate) piled high with onions and other veggies that cook while your steak does. Eat it with chopsticks while a live koto or piano player entertains. Meals come with soup, salad, rice, dessert and coffee. Our only disappointment: the limited wine selection.

Seryna
Seryna is the go-to stalwart for those wishing to try Kōbe (Wagyū) beef. With several eateries under its roof, you can try shabu-shabu (pieces of thinly sliced beef cooked quickly with vegetables in boiling water and then dipped in sauce) and sukiyaki (sliced meat simmered with vegetables and sauce), or opt for a slab of steak and teppan-yaki (table-top grilling). The restaurant surrounds a pretty rock garden. It has an English sign and menu.

Wakkoqu
A more elegant spot to try Kōbe beef, on the 3rd floor of the Oriental Avenue shopping centre (アベニュー) at the base of the Crowne Plaza Kōbe hotel, just outside the elevator bank on the south side. The name 'Wakkoqu' is written in English on the menu displayed outside (and the menu is partially translated into English).

Misono
If you're a carnivore, you probably want to sample some of Kōbe's famous beef. One of the more approachable spots to try these heavenly steaks is at Misono, which occupies two of the upper floors of a building not far from Sannomiya Station. The restaurant isn't particularly luxurious, but the steaks are good and you can enjoy a bit of a view as you dine. There's an English sign at street level.
