But while it, too, is “all very slick and fashionable”, it, too, charges “obscene prices albeit for decent food” and – lacking the high-rise glam of the Square Mile – can seem more “clinical” and “pleased with itself”. Its year-old WC2 sibling likewise has a superb setting on top of Covent Garden Market, overlooking the back of the Royal Opera House. (Gripes of an overly “sweet note” to dishes also crept in this year). But while it can offer an all-round “great experience” – not least “fabulous” funky, fusion fare – its “pretty-looking” dishes come at extragalactic prices and sceptics feel that “you can eat this style of cuisine better elsewhere” nowadays. “The lift ride up to the 39th floor is part of the fun”, when you visit the “amazing” City branch, in the Heron Tower, of this US-based chain (with siblings in Vegas and Miami): a Hollywood-esque scene, complete with a ritzy cocktail bar vertigo-inducing outside terrace and svelte dining room boasting “incredible views”. Its two-year-old WC2 sibling likewise has a superb setting on top of Covent Garden Market, overlooking the back of the Royal Opera House. Try the smoke and sweet Yuca Plantation combining yuca, sesame, sweet potato and smoke emulsion in a small plate disguised as ash and charcoal on the sushi front, go for the prettily presented Samba Covent Garden roll stuffed with soft shell crab, hamachi, yuzu tobiko, bonito flakes, avocado, asparagus and yuzu miso and tuck into pork belly that’s been cooked on the robata charcoal grill with butterscotch miso.* Based on a three course dinner, half a bottle of wine, coffee, cover charge, service and VAT. You’ll find many Sushisamba classics on the menu - from crispy lobster taquitos with avocado, aji amarillo, jalapeno, lime, maize and morano, to tuna ceviche with pomegranate leche de tigre, maiz morado, wasabi peas and basil, and the surprising octopus dish from the robata, in which tender charcoal grilled octopus sits on a crispy nori and rice boat with edible flowers, herbs and a smoky red pepper sauce - but you’ll also see a number of dishes that are unique to this location. From this vantage point on the market’s terrace, diners are afforded views over Covent Garden’s historic Piazza.
SUSHI SAMBA COVENT GARDEN MENU SERIES
The private dining room comes with its own balcony along with décor of wooden beams, copper curtains and Japanese screens, and a series of artists and craftsmen were brought in to create bespoke pieces for the entire space. True to the Sushisamba aesthetic but with a greater focus on the South American rain forest, the Oscar Niemeyer-designed space pairs black and white marble floors with a ‘living ceiling’ of lush South American and Japanese plants, a cocktail bar, open-kitchen framed by Japanese lanterns, and circular sushi bar with counter seating under an abstract Japanese fan ceiling. The newest addition has been a highly anticipated arrival for the vibrant restaurant brand known for fusing Japanese, Brazilian and Peruvian culture and cuisine, with a prime spot on the Opera Terrace of Covent Garden’s Grade II-listed Market Building.Īccessed through a doorway on an outside corner of the Market Building, the restaurant entrance lies at the top of an orange marble spiral staircase featuring a Japanese mythology-inspired mural. You can always try perfectly cooked tempura rolls, shrimp tempura and prawns at this place. Discover new dishes of the menu with Japanese cuisine in the comfort of SUSHISAMBA. On November 1 st, Sushisamba began welcoming guests in to its newest location, Sushisamba Covent Garden, adding to the brand’s existing locations in Miami, Las Vegas, Amsterdam, and the 40 th floor of the Heron Tower in London.
