What the guides say

Michelin Guide

Restaurant James Sommerin, Michelin star restaurants, Michelin Guide 2018

The restaurant's catch phrase, 'Sushi in the Clouds,' like The Rotunda, refers to its location at the top of the BBC TV Centre in White City.

Omakase-style dining allows for 16 guests to sit at the chef's table - a Hinoki wood sushi counter – to watch Endo and his team prepare sushi using fish predominantly sourced from Scotland, Cornwall, and Brittany.

The water used to cook the Yamagata rice is shipped in barrels from the chef's home village and the rice vinegar is home-made.

Endo at the Rotunda offers two seasonal Omakase options for dinner and lunch, as well as an à la carte menu.
