In the mood for sushi, cocktails and dancing?

I am a serious sushi girl. I find it the perfect way to start the evening but there better be some delicious cocktails and some even better music with my tuna sashimi.

My five favourite places in London for sushi, cocktails and dancing.


Nobu
It has one of the best bars in London and add the superb food and terrific music your in for a wonderful start to the evening. There is always a good crowd and it’s just road the corner from Cuckoo and The Burlington Club! And the cocktails, well they are divine. Lychee Martinis all the way.
15 Berkley Street, London


Zuma
This place is always buzzing with a packed bar and a heavy reservation list. The food is as sophisticated as the Knightsbridge crowd. The atmosphere and decor is fantastic. The private table at the back are ideal for a party with plenty of Wagyu no sumibiaki (Wagyu beef and wasabi) and Ise ebi (Lobster tempura with spicy ponzu) and lots of Zumanuka cocktail. Delicious.
5 Raphael Street, London


Roka
The sister to Zuma this place has a similar menu but it’s the bar down starts, Shochu, which is the place to be. Hidden away one can enjoy some chilli edamame and soft shell crab on lounge tables round the bar. The perfect place if you have people joining you for after dinner drinks. And as for the drinks well try the Lipstick Rose or the Green Tea Pear Bellini.
37 Charlotte Street, London

Nozomi
A late dinner is the thing to do here because the bar gets going around 11pm. And by going I mean really going. The cocktails start pouring; the music starts pounding and the dancing starts getting a little crazy. Oh and the sushi’s not bad either.
15 Beauchamp Place, London
