Sexy Fish Restaurant Review

London’s latest restaurant hotspot arrives on Berkeley Square in Mayfair: Sexy Fish.

Not content with already having some of London’s best restaurants as part of the family, (The Ivy, Scott’s, 34…) Caprice Holdings has recently launched London’s latest hotspot on Berkeley Square: Sexy Fish.

Sexy Fish is a pan-Asian restaurant that specialises in Fish and Seafood, both on and off the menu.

Sexy Fish in MayfairDesigned by Martin Brudnizki, the lavish interiors feature pieces of art from some of the most celebrated contemporary artists in the world.

Frank Gehry fish lamps hover over the bar; Damien Hirst designed bronze-cast mermaids with blue patina sit on either corner of the bar; and a Frank Gehry designed 13 ft crocodile dominates the back wall of the restaurant.

Due to an unfortunate accident in the kitchen, some of the items were off menu (kudos to the fabulous staff for dealing with what must have been a nightmare so efficiently and professionally), but I’ll be back to try the rock lobster and prawn tempura dishes.

Desserts were a real surprise, especially the matcha and ginger marble cake and a perfectly balanced white and dark chocolate tofu dessert.

Sexy Fish won’t be to everyone’s taste – the extravagant interior is a real feast for the senses – but for those wanting a fun night out in glamorous surroundings enjoying excellent pan-Asian cuisine, there’s nowhere better than Sexy Fish right now.

Sexy Fish is open until 2am, with a resident DJ from Thursday to Saturday.
