€€fish
The name of this restaurant in the well-heeled Westend district is a Proto-Indo-European word meaning "fish", so it will come as no surprise that the cuisine is fish- and seafood-driven. The chef-patron spent time in Asia (including Singapore and Japan), before setting up shop here, and influences from his travels are reflected in "hamachi, wasabi, kosho, radish" and "octopus, mussel, curry, coconut, chilli, egg", for instance. The dishes are clearly structured and harmonious in taste, with interesting flavour combinations. There are also a few smaller plates, including oysters or sardines. Th

Since opening in 2009, this has been a go-to classic in the city's financial hub. Somewhat hidden away, this elegant and stylish restaurant is accessible via a courtyard. The interior, done out in dark tones with dimmed lighting, smacks of the Far East (the terracotta warriors are eye-catching). The atmosphere is lively, and contemporary music provides the acoustic backdrop. The menu includes a wide selection of pan-Asian dishes ranging from sushi and sashimi to classic curries and robata grill specialities. Dishes such as velveted black pepper beef or char siu chicken are especially tempting.
