About Soseki
Japanophiles looking for a tranquil retreat in the heart of London need look no further than Soseki, located in the shade of the Gherkin tower. In contrast to the contemporary architecture it is surrounded by, this restaurant is a visually hypnotic evocation of a Taisho-period teahouse, and the vintage vibe is exemplified by the 1920s antique furniture, kimono tables, intricate lacquered screens and floral gold ceilings. There is no conventional menu here; instead the chef's will prepare a series of courses based on the best fresh ingredients that day. There is also a sushi bar inside Soseki, and the bar – which features stunning views of the Gherkin – serves a superb variety of wine, sake and beer.
Opening hours:
Mon 11:45am - 2:30pmTues - Fri 11:45am - 2:30pm & 6pm - 9:30pm
The restaurant is named after one of Japan's most famous novelists, Natsume Soseki.

After seeing this rated as a 9 with no reviews I still decided to give it a go. Great location and very well done with the interior. Food was great except for a few dishes which did not seem to be quite as fresh as you'd expect as they claim everything is bought fresh daily. I would still recommend this place at present especially if you are looking for a nice romantic meal.Review
