Nobu

This week I was lucky enough to go to Nobu albeit taking clients with work. Being both a very famous restaurant, and Japanese (with a Peruvian slant), I'd been hoping to make it there one day. And all the better when is someone else is paying!  I can report that it lives up its reputation (and 1 Michelin star).

Our client, who has eaten at Nobu worldwide, expertly ordered for the table. I tried pretty much everything but was full by the time the pork belly and beef arrived. The yellowtail and salmon were the stand outs for me.


- yellowtail sashimi with jalepenos
- black cod
- anti-cucho peruvian style spicy salmon skewer
- softshell crab harumaki with creamy wasabi
- spicy tuna sushi
- tuna on crispy rice squares (not called this on the menu!)

For dessert I had 'Macana' which was a white chocolate mousse, pistachio charged sponge, mango cream and kalamanzi (citrus) sorbet.

The interior is contemporary and pared-back. We sat at a large table away from the windows but I expect the views over Hyde Park would be nice. Good service too but they are very strict with the seating time so don't be leave, and do be prepared to be moved along after your allotted two hours.
