Tucked away in the heart of Soho, Maki Nori is an intimate celebration of Japanese tradition and modern craftsmanship. The space features a rich, "earthy aesthetic" inspired by nature, centered around a sleek counter where guests can experience the theater of hand-rolled sushi. The vibe is refined and highly focused, governed by the "15-second rule"—nori is served at its peak crunch and meant to be enjoyed immediately. The atmosphere is soulful and intentional, emphasizing premium sourcing like A5 wagyu and first-crop Ariake nori, with many elements—from dry-aged fish to plum wine—crafted in-house. It is a stylish, modern dining sanctuary designed for those who appreciate the intersection of culinary excellence and minimalist Japanese design.

Birmingham
The wide range of flavors was perfect. Each restaurant we visited had its unique charm, and the warm welcome from the staff made the day even more enjoyable. I discovered so many new restaurants! I can't wait to return.
Liverpool
My partner and I booked on to the Castle street restaurant tour in Liverpool and it was possibly our favourite date we have ever been on! It was well organised, good value for money and a great opportunity to try new restaurants around our city which we have since visited regularly. I would definitely like to try one of the other tours.
Glasgow
Fantastic day out in Glasgow on the Restaurant Tour. We had not expected the portions to be so generous, full size mains, and what a nice surprise for the matched wines to be equally generous, and in most cases of a very high quality! It was good to have the restaurants spaced out enough to walk off the meal before digging into the next one! And all the venues were beautifully appointed, the ambiance just perfect for not one but six meals fit for a couple of princesses!!
Milton Keynes
A fun, surprising and affordable outing to do (especially with friends). It's a really good concept with the right balance of eating, drinking, chatting and still moving. Conclusion: Well organised, delicious dishes with fine wines.

We had a great day. Every restaurant was very friendly and very well organised. Just trying a sample of their delicious meals is enough to make us want to visit them again. The variety in the dishes was brilliant, from Indian tapas, sliders, Spanish, Vietnamese, pizza and cheese & crackers, we had it all, together with the lovely drink accompaniments. Would highly recommend to anyone, great value for money.

Can't wait to do this again! And will look out for ones in other cities. Such a great way to try new restaurants and explore the city.
Liverpool
All enthusiastic entrepreneurs with a passion for wine and food! It's nice to give as a gift and it's really fun. The service at 1 restaurant was not quite great, so that was a bit of a shame, but the other 5 were perfect.
