SACHI was already one of the best restaurants in Belgravia, but now it quite literally looks down on all the others.
After opening in the basement of the Grade-II listed wonder that is the Pantechnicon back in ’21, it has now been elevated to the two very top floors, with a rooftop view out over half of West London. And as a nice little housewarming gift, they’re offering Nudge Members (and up to three lucky guests) 50% off the food bill, from Sunday to Thursday, for the whole of December.
On that top floor, you’ll first find the bar, as the space opens out into a welcoming cocktail lounge that sets the tone for the meal to come. It all feels deeply serene and sophisticated. Warm lighting creates a moody atmosphere, while rich wood tones, textured walls, and refined, minimalist decor lend it a sense of understated luxury.
And so to the food. The fish, line-caught in British waters, is assembled into sushi, sashimi, and maki platters, including melt-on-the-tongue wagyu laid down on a bed of baby cress and kissed with sweet smoked soy. There’s also a robata grill scorching the likes of Hokkaido scallops with foie gras and crispy leeks. And to finish, there’s a veritably delectable bowl of chestnut ice cream loaded with candied pecans and drizzled in honey caramel sauce.
The cocktails going with all of this are rather inventive, too. The bar is stocked with one of the city’s most extensive Japanese whisky collections, and they show them off quite well in their signature drinks, which are all named as numbers from one to ten in Japanese (Ichi, Ni, San, etc.). Then there are the ‘Proverbial Spirits’ which are all named for zen-like proverbs, including the Bird Leaves The Water Undisturbed (which blends Toki, Aperol, Chinotto Umeshu, and Sudachi) and the Ignorance Is Bliss, whose ingredients are listed as “What you don’t know cannot hurt you”. Brilliant.
As you might expect, SACHI has an extensive sake list to go with it all, helpfully arranged by flavour profile – but you might want to leave it to the sake sommelier.
Thankfully, they’re nice enough not to look down on you.
NOTE: SACHI is open every day for lunch and dinner. You can find out more, and book at the SACHI website.
