Eat 69

The robata charcoal grill is the anchor of this Japanese restaurant sitting above the Japan House cultural centre on Kensington High Street. Counter seats face an open kitchen where skewers of chicken thigh and miso pork belly take their turn over the coals alongside an extensive sushi selection. At lunch, the hakozen box covers most bases neatly. The room is stylish and reliably buzzing, which for Kensington is saying something.
