A full raw bar of sashimi ceviche, traditional nigiri and cut rolls like the Samba London roll offer a thoroughly Latin spin. The main attraction in warmer weather, however, is one of the largest outdoor terraces in London with fire-pit, sexy lounge and cocktail bar second to none.Ī predominantly Latin-influenced menu of Peruvian and Brazilian specialties with an Asian edge begins with appetizers of corn tamales with broad bean succotash, calamari with fried plantain and rock shrimp tempura with black truffle vinaigrette. Heavy use of geometric accents compliments bold pop art murals on walls and mosaic tile floors that lead to a driftwood-inspired sushi bar. A dramatic space lined in terrazzo floors and colorful play on Lucite for walls and staircase frames an indoor bar and dining room under domed bamboo ceiling with walls of glass framing the London skyline. When a restaurant combines such qualities as an amazing location and 360 degree view over London with a high-quality food, you are with no doubts in good hands… When you add to that a great staff (our waitress was absolutely perfect: caring, kind and giving us always good advice), you can hardly hesitate… except maybe because of the prices (this restaurant is not at all cheap, but the food and location are worth it).A shining elevator entrance swoops guests to the top of Heron Tower and the exquisitely designed Sushisamba penned by architects Cetra Ruddy along the 38th and 39th floor rooftop. I love Mochi so much, the different textures made it a really yummy treat, but Im not overly-adventurous so I stuck to the simple flavours of Mango, Coconut. Sushi Samba is for sure a great experience I will remember for long. The graffiti installation is from Brazilian Street Artist Flip, and mixes all cultures from the SushiSamba’s concept. A SUSHISAMBA voucher is a perfect gift for a birthday, anniversary or holiday celebration. I like the choice for vibrant colors, contrasting with the darker colors from the furniture and floor.

We went up there with a panoramic glass elevator which provides a unique experience…especially for those suffering from vertigo like me! SushiSamba is located on the 38th floor at 110 Bishopsgate, and offers a 360 degree views of London. We could not go further because after 6 dishes we were full! But looking at other tables, we were almost tempted to try other ones… Amazing view over the city SushiSamba offers a really impressive cuisine with a rich mix of flavours and colors.Įven the sushis look like pieces of art (and especially for that I would love to come back!)…Īfter eating the sushis, we have tried the Seviche and Tiradito dishes with raw fishes, which were delicate with fresh vegetables and sometimes a delicious spicy sauce.Īs a large plate we chose the Moqueca Mista, combining a mix of fishes with coconut milk and chimichurri rice…which was delightful! An exquisite cuisine with a mix of 3 cultures This was described as a “culinary coup” in its early stages, but now the group has opened new restaurants in several countries (and is even about to open a new one in Covent Garden soon!). The choice of these 3 countries comes as a reminder of all the Japanese emigrants who settled in Peru and Brazil in the early 20th century and spread their cultures there, while taking into account new elements from the country they were integrating. The concept of SushiSamba’s cuisine is to mix elements from 3 countries: Japan, Brazil and Peru. SushiSamba first opened in 1999 in New York. We went there on a grey day, but the weather could not diminish our excitement to discover this new place!
