UMU Mayfair is an intimate Japanese restaurant at 14–16 Bruton Place. Hidden away on a quiet Mayfair mews, it offers a calm and precise dining experience where Japanese tradition, seasonal ingredients and highly detailed service guide the meal from the first course to the last.
Kaiseki principles shape the cooking, with each dish designed around the character of its ingredients and its place within the season. Preparation, texture, temperature and presentation are considered together, allowing fish, vegetables and carefully sourced produce to appear in a sequence that feels balanced rather than heavy.
Sushi and sashimi display the kitchen’s knife work and attention to quality, while grilled dishes, broths and wagyu provide deeper flavours across the wider menu. Ingredients sourced from Japan are complemented by carefully selected British produce, creating a thoughtful connection between the restaurant’s Mayfair setting and its culinary roots.
Sake is chosen to support the progression of the food, with wine and other drinks available for guests who prefer a different pairing. Counter seating offers a closer view of the preparation, while the serene dining room and private options make UMU particularly suited to focused meals and special occasions.
Address: 14–16 Bruton Place, Mayfair, London W1J 6LX, United Kingdom
