Nobu - Old Park Lane
Metropolitan Hotel, 19 Old Park Lane, London, W1K 1LB
Located in the stylish Metropolitan Hotel on Old Park Lane is Nobu, a restaurant that, even after several years of being at the top of London's most popular restaurant list, still remains as trendy and packed as ever. This is definitely a place where it's essential to book well in advance as it is always seems to be full, often with film stars, models and rock stars, and you might even find Boris Becker in a broom cupboard! Though it might be better not to disturb him if you do; give him a minute or so. The food is new-wave Japanese of the highest quality, created in America originally by owner Nobu Matsuhisa, accompanied by some of the highest prices, with their speciality of 'black cod' now appearing on menus all over, imitation is after all the sincerest form of flattery, but everyone seems to agree the experience is well worth it.Located in the stylish Metropolitan Hotel on Old Park Lane is Nobu, a restaurant that, even after several years of being at the top of London's most popular restaurant list, still remains as trendy and packed as ever.

REVIEWS OF Nobu - Old Park Lane
Andrew Yale (20 June 2009)
I found the quality of the food was very high and not over cooked. The service was tops at lunch time and they looked after my brother's children. Yes, a special time.
Walter Adamson (2 June 2006)
Worth a visit, and again and again. Unlike so many cafes posing as restaurants and cooks posing as chefs this outfit really deliver tasty fresh food prepared with Japanese care and knowledge.
Although I found it a kind of weird total experience as when I glanced ahead I saw seven Japanese chefs behind the sushi bar and when I looked to the side or was served there were staff of all nationalities on the floor - but none Japanese that I noticed. So it is not a Japanese restaurant experience, but it is a Japanese food experience in the sense of having the classics with all their care and attention, and the extensions.
For value try the lunchtime bento box, with green tea, and for a not inexpensive fusion finish a double espresso. I thought that it was good value especially compared to similar prices elsewhere for second rate food. This is worth every penny, in my opinion. Will definitely go again.
