When Nobu hit the London restaurant scene in the 1990's it made such a splash that the ripples still haven't come back to centre. As famous for celebrities shenanigans as for the food, Nobu is an outpost of a restaurant
empire stretching from LA to Miami to here. These days, you may still spot celebs at the next table in the modern, minimalist Japanese-inspired dining room overlooking Park Lane and leafy Hyde Park. But you're more likely to be in the company of a smartish anonymous clientele enjoying dishes that are a combination of Japanese classics, like sushi and miso soup, plus Nobu's own very original combinations.
