Nobu London
With De Niro as a backer, Boris Becker frolicking in the cupboards and stars of Kate Moss's calibre regularly occupying its VIP tables, it's easy to forget that Nobu London is a world class restaurant, and not just a celebrity safe house with food. Mark Edwards, Group Executive Chef and currently manning the pass on a daily basis, ensures that even in its 11th year, Nobuyuki Matsuhisa's restaurant continues to lead the way in new wave Japanese cooking. New dishes, such as Wagyu and foie gras gyoza, ponzu and daikon oroshi, are just as tempting as that iconic black cod.
