Engawa

Set within the heart of Piccadilly, Engawa is one of London’s most authentic and traditional Japanese restaurants, specializing in the delicacy of Kobe beef alongside a stunning selection of fresh sushi and sashimi. One of just a handful of Japanese restaurants in London to offer Kobe – the most exclusive beef in the world often called the ‘caviar of meat – the only UK restaurant to import the entire Kobecow and as such can offer a wide range of cuts including sirloin, rump, fillet, rib-eye and oyster blade steaks as well as a creative selection of sushi, sashimi and sake.

Engawa's meticulously designed Japanese bolthole also gives good sushi from its bijou premises on Ham Yard. You can enjoy pretty nine-piece platters of humming fresh nigiri (with soup) as part of the omakase menu or pick from the carte, which also includes various vegetarian sushi, served in a swish room dominated by an ornate chandelier decorated with hand-stenciled calligraphy, it’s all very serene ’n’ clean.
