Cooling nighttime breezes, free-flowing sparkling wine and gourmet barbecue fare at low prices—all that’s on offer at the Grand Hyatt Tokyo this summer. The “La Terrace Provence BBQ” promotion takes place nightly through September 30 on the newly renovated outdoor patio at the hotel’s French Kitchen restaurant (http://tokyo.grand.hyatt.com; 03-4333-8781). For just ¥4,800, diners can enjoy unlimited sparkling wine and a generous meal—an amuse bouche platter, soup of the day, mesclun salad, homemade bread and a barbecue plate featuring top-shelf meat, seafood and vegetables, all cooked by The French Kitchen’s chefs on an outdoor grill. For an additional ¥4,800, high rollers can upgrade to all-you-can-drink G.H. Mumm Cordon Rouge champagne.
