Taku

Taku, a 16-seat Omakase restaurant located in the heart of London's Mayfair, embodies the seamless fusion of culinary artistry and refined design. Completed in November 2022 under the direction of Michelin-starred chef Takuya Watanabe, our design approach was inspired by traditional Japanese aesthetics combined with contemporary minimalism. Within just four months, Taku earned a Michelin One Star rating, a testament to the exceptional dining experience it offers.

Our design philosophy for Taku focuses on creating a serene and elegant environment that enhances the culinary journey without overshadowing it. We utilised natural finishes such as wood and stone to evoke a sense of warmth and tranquillity, reflecting the essence of Japanese simplicity and elegance. Soft, indirect lighting along the walls creates a gentle glow, while strategic spotlights above each dining area highlight the exquisite dishes prepared by Chef Watanabe, ensuring an immersive and intimate dining experience.

The spatial design of Taku is intentionally minimalistic, allowing the food to remain the focal point. Our clean and uncluttered layout reflects simplicity and functionality, creating a dynamic yet peaceful setting that evolves with the progression of the meal.
