The neutral colours, open windows, and a design-enthusiasts haven, Fujiya 1935 is instantly welcoming, full of ambience, and a place that will have you wanting to return to time and time again. Serving a lunch or dinner tasting menu, chef Tetsuya Fujiwara aims to create 'a dining table of seasons and memories'. And we think he does just that. 

With only eight seats and two sittings, KAHALA is intimate and so world-renowned it's essential to book well in advance. Chef Yoshifumi Mori iconically blends Japanese tradition with an ode to French cuisine; the flavours are unimaginable, the presentation just phenomenal. A man of many talents, even the crockery you dine on is handcrafted by Mori. 

Though the cobbled streets of Italy may be geographically far, Ristorante Quintocanto makes la dolce vita feel incredibly close by. With a tasting menu ranging foie gras, to cutlassfish dumplings, to a pappardelle with a rich ragu sauce, head here for some seriously good food, and a fabulous ambience. 

Sushi Ohata makes a name for itself for many reasons, one of which is its creative use of vinegar. Unusual, perhaps, but once you've tasted the conncotions chef Ohata Masamichi creates you can fully understand why. Treating vinegar in the same way a sommelier would treat wine, be prepared for some top-notch sushi.
