Within Holland Park urban legend ‘The Supermarket of Dreams’ owner Chris d’Sylva (also of Dorian, see also) has installed chef Yuji Shimokawa to run this evening-only pop-up capitalising on the tremendous produce in the store to create a so-now menu of sushi, sashimi, tempura dishes (like venison or quail) and steamed fish and lobster. The venue also hosts the ‘Tuna Fight Club’ – a regular £250 per person night that’s the subject of columns in places like the NY Times: “you watch a giant (about 230kg on the night I went) tuna fish get butchered and eat bits of it as they go”. (To apply for tickets, you now first have to have eaten either at Urchin or Dorian). All feedback so far in our annual diners’ poll says it’s an “exceptional all-round” experience.

For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
