Ginza St.James's, Small Private Dining Room

I booked an afternoon tea for my husband for his birthday and we were both pleasantly surprised by the quality as we have done quite few in London already. The staff is really professional and well presented and helpful. The table was downstairs and the decoration was simple but nice. There were some Japanese vibes but more modern than traditional. There was enough space between the tables and we could sit next to each other on the couch which was nice. I had told the staff few times before coming that I was pregnant and I was really pleased to see they prepares accordingly. Some restaurant don't pay attention or just tell you that you won't get this or this or apply the restrictions to everyone. Instead they cooked all the raw items for me so I could still experience it and my husband got the usual. Food wise it took a bit of time to come but it was worth it. All food had a japanese spin and new flavors to taste which was great. The crepe were our favorite and so tasty. Loved the chicken karaoke and the maki. My husband enjoyed the wagyu even if it was quite intense! And... the desserts were also very diverse and interesting. The bun with cream and strawberry was delicious and matcha cake, miso financier perfect! It was a bit more adventurous to try the truffle mushroom and the tofu panacotta. The teas were good but just to note you could only try one each. You can't try several ones but that didn't bother me. At the end there is a matcha offered as well. Price wise, I find it very good for the quality which means that I will definitely come back!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Ginza restaurant and was thoroughly impressed with the set menus offered. The variety of dishes included in each menu allowed me to sample a wide range of traditional Japanese cuisine, all expertly prepared and presented. One standout dish was the octopus, which was tender and flavorful, perfectly cooked to bring out the natural sweetness of the meat. The croquettes were crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, a delightful contrast of textures that left me craving more. The sashimi sushi roll was a work of art, each piece melted in my mouth, bursting with the delicate flavors of the sea. The set menus at Ginza restaurant are a fantastic way to experience the best of Japanese cuisine in one sitting. The attention to detail in each dish, from the presentation to the flavors, is truly exceptional.All the food was perfectly pared with white wine from all over the world. I will be back soon
