Date night in Covent Garden: sushi sets for two

Covent Garden is full of places to eat, but a date night needs a little more: a calmer room, food worth sharing and a table where you can actually talk. Akatuki sits on Great Queen Street, a short walk from the Piazza and away from the busiest crowds.

Sets made for two

Our sushi counter has three sets built to share:

• Akatuki Sashimi Set for Two — 21 pieces of sashimi — £56.40
• Nigiri & Sashimi Set for Two — 10 pieces of sashimi and 16 pieces of nigiri — £65.80
• Deluxe Sushi & Sashimi Set for Two — 18 pieces of sashimi, 10 pieces of nigiri and the Akatuki Roll — £99.00

Each set is priced for the table, not per person.

Something to linger over

If you want a centrepiece, the A5 Japanese Wagyu Ribeye (150g) at £86.80 is served on a hot stone. Other dishes that suit a slower dinner include Yuzu Saikyo Cod (£28.50), black cod in yuzu and white miso; Scallops Shizuku (£29.50), butter-seared with pesto mayo; and the Wasabi-Infused Lobster (£39.90), a butter-seared half lobster with wasabi and honey sauce.

For something to remember, our Akatuki Roll (£28.90) — purple rice, asparagus, fried prawn, minced crab and gold leaf — is our signature roll.

Before or after a show

We are a few minutes from the Royal Opera House and Theatre Royal Drury Lane, so dinner fits easily around a performance. Mention the time of your show when you book and we will keep the pace right.
