SUSHISAMBA Covent Garden occupies Opera Terrace at the top of the historic Market Building. An Eric Parry designed glass roof, a bar beneath a living canopy and broad views across the piazza give the restaurant a dramatic setting above one of London’s busiest destinations.

The menu brings together Japanese, Brazilian and Peruvian traditions, reflecting the movement of Japanese communities to South America. Sushi, sashimi, tempura, ceviche and anticuchos allow diners to move between delicate raw preparations and strongly seasoned small plates.

A fiery robata grill cooks meat, fish and vegetables, while Brazilian churrasco and moqueca add substantial dishes for sharing. The open kitchen and energetic sushi bar make the preparation part of the experience, with plant based choices available alongside seafood and grilled meats.

Cocktails, sake, wine and late evening music support the restaurant’s lively atmosphere from lunch into the night. A piazza terrace, private dining room, hidden bar and flexible event spaces make the Covent Garden location suitable for celebrations as well as individual bookings.
