ITO Restaurant always seeks out novel ideas. On its summer menu, the Smoked Salmon with Avocado Rolls is a must-try. Fresh avocado is wrapped in soft and delicate smoked salmon, and the shredded green apple hidden inside brings a touch of lightness and surprise. The Sea Urchin Ikura with Chopped Tuna is another highlight that each ingredient complements each other with different textures. Layers of seafood are sandwiched with thin, crispy shells, making the perfect balance of fresh and sweet midsummer delights.

Mexican cuisine restaurant chain Q Mex Bar & Grill is treating diners to a delectable array of summer specials.
