There's a few restaurants I've been to that I sort of forget about.... not because they were bad or I didn't like them, but I just get so swept up in all the new openings and going back to local favourites that they slip through the net. So when I woke up one morning at Wilderness Festival declaring that I needed raw fish for lunch, everyone looked at me like I was crazy. But it was all I wanted and what I was determined to have, so off we went in pursuit of sashimi. And we found it at Kurobuta's stall in the restaurant tent. And then I remembered really loving the food at Kurobuta proper in London, so I booked into their Marble Arch branch for dinner with Emily and off we went. I'd only previously been to the Chelsea restaurant, so it was nice to check out their Marble Arch one. It's lighter and brighter and we nabbed an outside table before working our way through as much food as we could eat. We nibbled on sake, lemon, butter and salt flamed edamame while we read through the quite long menu and sipped on delicious Made in Provence rose, a bottle of which had come free with our meal as I'd booked a table for before 7pm through OpenTable. Then our real food started coming, and apart from the first and last dish we had, everything else was spot on. The first dish wasn't bad, there just wasn't enough of it to really tell if I liked it. Salmon gravadlax and avocado tartare, dill mayo, rice crunchies and fresh yuzu zest was light, but at about one forkful each I couldn't tell you much more than that.
What’s better than All You Can Drink? All You Can Drink AND Eat. The Boozy Bunchers have become pretty spoiled with some great brunch options in London and are now keen for more than just a couple of hours of unlimited boozing, now we want unlimited food as well. So for Vicky’s birthday, we decided on Kurobuta in Marble Arch which does a ‘party brunch’ with an Australian/Japanese twist. For £35 you can have unlimited access to their buffet featuring steak, sushi, build your own ramen and unlimited beer or wine or brunch punch and a welcome cachaça cocktail. The welcome cocktail is best avoided, very sugary. For an additional £10, you can get prosecco instead of wine, which 4 of us opted for.
Brilliant restaurant! Great variety of interesting dishes.. Highly recommended. Had the aubergine, pork buns, artichoke chopsticks & yellowtail sashimi. All brilliant! Also some good wines, beers & sakes to choose from. Funky decor & very nice vibe. A Must do when in this part of London
