It's always good to see a breath of fresh air blown into one of our favourite restaurants, which is exactly what happened with the new Sumosan Twiga, opened by international restaurateur Janina Wolcow and former F1 boss Flavio Briatore to join their growing empire with venues in Moscow, Monaco and Dubai. For their newest, they've upped sticks from Mayfair's Albemarle St and opened shop on 65 Sloane Street - an address which has played host to a fair share of high-flying eateries - including Alain Ducasse, Jamie Oliver, Ian Pengelley (House of Ho) and Bjorn van der Horst (now at Kojawan) and most recently Azerbaijani restaurant Baku

omprising of a lounge, a restaurant and a bar, two chefs have been employed to prepare two separate cuisines, with Ferdinando Palomba looking after the Italian fare and Konstantin Tskhay the Japanese. Spacious, luxuriant interiors have been designed by Michele Bonane, with a monochromatic entrance giving way to a contemporary dining room which subtly amalgamates Asian and European design accents including stucco and wooden boiserie, dark wood and alabaster. 

We took our seats and readied ourselves for an onslaught of excellent Japanese cuisine. The first dish to arrive was an excellent truffle hamachi tiradito inlaid with black truffle and sliced so razor thin that it languidly curled around our chopsticks. We also enjoyed a plate of fat pink prawns spiked with wasabi and served with a delicate salsa of golden passion fruit. Rice 'pizza' was like a crunchy chirashi, the base layer of crisp rice topped with a medley of spiced salmon, cucumber and chilli garlic salsa. 

Anyone who visited the original restaurant will know that their sushi platter is required eating, especially the T&T Roll, a marriage of toro and truffle that takes no prisoners. For mains, choose from an excellent Alaskan black cod with miso which would put rivals at Nobu and Zuma to the test. We were exceptionally happy with our visit at Sumosan, and with the new nightclub on its way, it looks poised to remain one of the hottest openings in the area for years to come. 

 

Testimonials

I’ve been with Innerplace pretty much since they started which is over 21 years now. Whilst I have access to other concierges through work and credit cards, Innerplace will always be my go to due to their incredible service, friendliness, expertise, knowledge and most of all their ability to get me a last minute booking at the most in demand restaurants in town, even when fully booked!

In the last few years they’ve really upped their game in terms of members parties and access to events which as well as being fun are also great networking opportunities. Tim has put together an incredible team and its always a pleasure to speak with them over email, phone and also when I meet them in person.

Most recently I asked them to find me a venue for our work summer drinks as I wasn’t able to find anything within budget or with the required flexibility on numbers, food and drink. They found me an incredible venue which ticked all the boxes and they did all the leg work keeping me up to date and well informed.

Keep up the great work!

Testimonials

The service I have received from Innerplace has been superb every time, not just dinner or club reservations but also gigs, events and other lifestyle requests... In conjunction with the regular parties that you host I believe the membership is great value for money. Even helping me with a recent weekend trip to New York, which was exceptional. Everything ran like clockwork making my life a lot easier than it otherwise it would have been. A truly great service.
