Yumè Nippon Restaurant In Olbia

17/04/2026: We hosted several business meetings this week across both the Asian and Italian restaurants, and once again, the experience was outstanding. This remains my absolute favourite restaurant in Mayfair, the food never fails to impress clients, and the service is consistently exceptional. A special thank you to Olga and Natasha at front of house. Despite only seeing us every six months or so, they always remember us and make us feel genuinely valued. On this visit, I rather clumsily dropped my knife onto my cream blazer, leaving a balsamic vinegar stain, but these wonderful ladies calmly stepped in and worked their magic. Truly amazing. Our thanks also to Milan in the Asian restaurant and Antonella in the Italian—both were impeccable. Nothing was too much trouble, and their attention to detail made the experience seamless from start to finish. The food itself is exquisite. Personally, I lean towards the Asian side, but that’s simply a matter of taste, both are exceptional in their own way.

15/04/2026: We visited the Japanese restaurant at Novikov in Mayfair. The concept of having two different cuisines in separate but closely connected dining rooms works very well, and the Japanese side in particular really stands out. The food was fantastic. Everything we tried was of very high quality, beautifully prepared and full of flavor. Service was also excellent, attentive and professional throughout the evening. Prices are on the higher side, but in this case they are absolutely justified by the quality of the food and the overall experience. The only small detail that slightly affected comfort were the chairs, which are quite hard and minimalist. While this may be intentional to create a more traditional Japanese feel, I personally would have preferred a bit more seating comfort. We were walk-ins and were able to get a table, but in general I would recommend making a reservation in advance. Overall, it is an excellent restaurant and definitely worth visiting.
