The Raglan Hotel in Muswell Hill has turned its front bar into the very stylish and contemporary Sushi 101, bringing about some much needed freshness in the hitherto lacklustre dining options in the area. Bold red and black colours grace the walls while cream leather banquettes create just the right contrast to lend an air of sophistication and elegance to elevate the dining experience admirably.

Typical sashimi and nigiri coexist peacefully alongside some innovative additions to the menu such as grilled baby lamb chops with miso sauce or the dragon roll with barbequed eel and avocado. Thin slices of turbot and fresh morsels of fatty tuna and yellowtail nigiri vie for your attention alongside pan fried wasabi scallops and futi maki rolls. The tangy lemon grass crème brûlée has a sweet and lingering taste and their concise selection of wines, sake and some Japanese beers help ease along a remarkable meal.
