INÉ

INE, a remarkable addition to Hampstead's dining scene, offers an authentic Japanese culinary journey, particularly excelling in its omakase experience. Chef Meng, with a background from Hong Kong, masterfully crafts each dish, guiding patrons through a delicate array of seasonal offerings. The sushi counter, or kaunta seki, provides an engaging exploration of freshness and artistry as the chefs prepare courses before your eyes. Signature highlights include the otoro sashimi and scallop nigiri, along with fusion delicacies like hamachi nigiri with truffle soy sauce.

The restaurant melds traditional and modern aesthetics, while the sommelier enhances the experience with an impressive selection of sake and wine. Despite being on the pricier side, INE's exquisite execution and impeccable service make it a noteworthy destination.
