NIJŪ

Unrivaled Sushi Delights in Elegant Comfort

Nijū, tucked away in Mayfair, is rapidly establishing itself as a culinary jewel among sushi aficionados. The atmosphere is both inviting and plush, evoking a blend of understated elegance and intimate warmth that's as refreshing as it is unpretentious. The chef's knowledge shines through every dish, infusing traditional offerings like nigiri with unique, subtle twists that surprise the palate without overwhelming it. The tomato tartare is a particular standout, bursting with flavors that mimic the meticulous artistry of the house’s acclaimed tuna tataki.

Dining at Nijū offers more than just excellent food; it's an experience enriched by attentive service that remains unintrusive yet personal. Choosing a seat at the chef's table not only promises a closer view of the culinary magic but also elevates a solo dining excursion into a vibrant exploration of texture and taste. Some might argue that the prices flirt at the higher end, indicative of Mayfair's culinary landscape, yet the quality on offer justifies the investment. From the exceptional pistachio olive cake to the commendable attentiveness of staff, Nijū captures the essence of what modern Japanese dining can be—a perfect symphony of flavor, ambiance, and sophisticated charm. — Audrey Al Dente
