The Araki

The Araki is widely regarded as one of London's most elite restaurants, with just 10 seats every seating. The Araki's chef's table is more readily compared to an immersive theatre experience than a dinner, with doors sealed 30 minutes after booking time to avoid any interruption.

The Araki encourages its visitors to put their trust – and their palates – in the hands of head chef Marty Lau, who uses a renowned 200-year-old sushi method originating in Tokyo. Guests are escorted through a unique selection of fresh Japanese meals that utilize local products, with all dishes made and presented right in front of their eyes. While the culinary menu is diverse, customers should be aware that the wine selection is restricted. Of course, the degree of exclusivity at The Araki justifies a large bill, with the legendary set meal costing $400. For those who love Japanese food, this restaurant is a perfect destination.

Price: Around $400 per person
