Nobu (at The Metropolitan Hotel)

21st March 2011 by Richard Bagnold Leave a Comment

Sister restaurant to Nobu Berkley Street and also Michelin starred at time of visit - decorative food with pleasing results in a stylish setting but not suitable for note-worthy occasions

The menu is virtually identical to its sister restaurant on Berkley Street, however the loss of the Michelin star this year for both will no doubt be quite a blow to the group.  The Michelin guide is quite an unpredictable beast at times, however Nobu must have simply dropped their standards overall to earn this demotion.  This Nobu remains a lovely address at the Metropolitan Hotel, even if it is bizarrely not-straight forward to get to, but its alluring view of the Park makes it a very plesant setting.  A rather quiet affair as an atmosphere and with its apparent drop in food standards, I would only really have need to go to the Berkley Street venue now that I have done the Metropolitan hotel and don’t need to do again.

About Me

meMy hobby-turned-passion began to evolve during my assignments to London where I was fortunate enough to be able to explore all the Michelin starred restaurants in my spare time and as a result, I gradually built up a catalogue of all these venues.
