Umu Review

Billed as Britain's first Kyoto-style restaurant, Umu (the name means 'born of nature') specialises in high-art 'kaiseki' - ultra-formal, refined, meticulously choreographed dining that is as much about harmonius ritual as cuisine. It may be unique, but it's also one of the world's most expensive ways to eat: if you want the full-on Umu experience (including wine), it will cost you upwards of £250 a head!

The location for all of this is an eerily anonymous-looking building down a Mayfair side street.
