Itsu - Chelsea

The Itsu logo easily sums up their concept; butterfly light food that doesn't make you feel guilty about an indulgence, served in stylish and bright surroundings where diners are made to feel welcome. The decor is modern, but it's not just about angles and planes, so there's a fine sense of warmth too, and across its various locations this Japanese restaurant is best known for its culinary achievements.

The menu packs in plenty of nutritional value and doesn't forgo on taste, so there are the delicious maki rolls, strips of salmon and avocado wrapped in rice and nori seaweed or the warm eel teriyaki hand roll. Tiger prawn tempura and crispy squid are some of the grilled dishes to be found here and the usual favourites, nigiri and sashimi are also plentiful. To round off, enjoy the chocolate mousse or the fresh fruit. Drinks at Itsu include wines, but it is the Asahi beer and sakes that continue to propel the drinking choices of guests.
