Dinings SW3 — authentic izakaya restaurant in London, Chelsea — Editorial placeholder

About

Opened in 2017 in the mews of Lennox Gardens, Walton Street, Dinings SW3 is the Chelsea sister to the original Marylebone izakaya, led by Japanese chef-owner Masaki Sugisaki. Sugisaki, who has spent 25 years in London, fuses deep Japanese culinary discipline — classical technique, respect for fish, meticulous preparation — with European influences and British seasonal sourcing, including direct relationships with local fishermen. The restaurant's marble sushi bar, mezzanine dining room, and leafy courtyard terrace provide an elegant counterpoint to the basement intimacy of the original Dinings. Sugisaki's 'Gill to Tail' sustainability series has further cemented the restaurant's reputation for both craft and conscience.
