To have the complete Chaco Bar experience one must surrender all inhibitions at the fabric-draped door.

Behind a monochrome shopfront is Kazuki's, an oasis of minimalist, mustard-carpeted calm, where Japanese and European flavours are fused brilliantly.

The Japanese notion of "ichigyo zammai" – doing one thing excessively well – is on vivid display at this backstreet Richmond sushi temple.

The elegantly refreshed Provenance has never shone brighter, promising diners a riot of colour, slow food and ceramics.

A space that channels Tokyo's jumble of cheap grills and thrills, with a dash of Korea and kitsch.

An extensive drinks offering and clockwork service equals a leisurely dining experience at this Japanese diner.
