Description
Just two minutes from Finchley Road station, Yamatora brings an elegant twist to modern Japanese cuisine and is fast becoming one of Hampstead's most coveted dining destinations.
The menu is a feast of bold Japanese flavours, with over 90% of ingredients imported directly from Japan. Alongside exquisitely fresh sushi, standout dishes include the flaming wagyu nigiri, torched tableside, and kushiyaki skewers, grilled using a centuries-old Japanese technique that gives an unforgettable depth of flavour.
Whether you’re in the mood for a relaxed bottomless brunch, a curated tasting menu, or small plates to share, Yamatora delivers beautiful dishes in a sophisticated setting. Pair your meal with premium sake, international wines, Japanese craft beers, or inventive cocktails. Unwind on the hidden garden terrace (heated and covered during the winter months), or dine in the sleek main restaurant.
Yamatora also caters to private dining, corporate hire, and celebrations of all kinds, whether in the private suite or on the terrace. Full venue hire is also available for larger gatherings. Choose from seated set menus, canapé-style standing receptions, or work with the dedicated events team to create a custom menu. Drinks packages are also available and byob can be arranged, subject to a corkage fee.
