Dinings Harcourt Street is an intimate modern Japanese restaurant at 22 Harcourt Street in Marylebone. Chef-proprietors Tomonari Chiba and Keiji Fuku opened the original Dinings in 2006 after working at Nobu, choosing a quiet residential street for a relaxed alternative to a conventional fine-dining room.
The cooking respects Japanese foundations while drawing on modern European techniques and seasonal ingredients. Sushi and sashimi sit beside small plates such as seared Japanese wagyu, tempura, seafood carpaccio and double-cooked aubergine with miso, creating a menu designed for exploring several flavours and textures.
Compact finger foods are another signature, with combinations built around tuna, salmon, yellowtail, lobster, scallop or seasonal vegetables. An omakase experience allows the chef to select the day’s freshest ingredients, and sake pairing can be arranged for diners who want a guided progression.
The restaurant occupies the ground and basement floors of a converted Edwardian house, using concrete and wood to evoke the intimacy of a Japanese izakaya. Dinner is the main service, with limited lunch availability; guests should mention allergies when reserving and again when ordering because dishes may contain traces of nuts and other allergens.
