London Escort Dinner Date at Nobu Mayfair

Nobu Mayfair
19 Old Park Lane, Mayfair, London W1K 1LB
(also now with a second London location in Marylebone, opened May 2020)

Nobu is a high-end Japanese-Peruvian restaurant on Old Park Lane in Mayfair, and it's one of UK Glamour Girls' favourite restaurants – many of our high class London escorts can be found tucked away here on a Saturday night. This famed restaurant is great for celebrity spotting, has a genuine talent for testing your credit card, and offers some of the best sushi in the world. Any of the Mayfair escorts from UK Glamour Girls will be delighted to be your company for a romantic and discreet evening here – it's one of the venues our girls list most often as a go-to, and you'll almost certainly spot a few older gents with ravishing younger companions dotted around the room.

What to Expect

At Nobu London you're looking at a £100 minimum per person, and some of the sushi we've had on a recent visit ran to £50 for just four pieces – and yes, it was very good. Add drinks and a shared dessert and you'll easily land in the £300s for two. It's worth it, though – the food is widely praised and reviewed extremely well across all the major London foodie sites. You and your Mayfair companion can enjoy some of Nobu's most famous dishes, including yellowtail, salmon, black cod and caviar, all while trying your best to keep your eyes from wandering too obviously towards your elite dinner date.

Location and Nearby

Thanks to Nobu's location in the middle of Mayfair, you'll be able to walk straight off to the New Bond Street shopping area and plenty of other great spots close by – Dover Street Market, Louis Vuitton, Dolce & Gabbana, Etro and more are all within a short stroll, and our elite London escorts based in Mayfair would be only too happy to show you around if you're new to the city. See our Things To Do in Mayfair guide for more ideas, packed with top restaurants, bars and other places worth a visit.

Perfect for a Dinner Date

Nobu is a restaurant chain partly owned by actor Robert De Niro, with dozens of locations dotted around the world – but the Mayfair original remains one of the best of them. If Nobu is fully booked, Zuma in Knightsbridge offers a similarly high-energy Japanese evening with a very different atmosphere.

Good to Know Before You Go

Nobu Mayfair is genuinely one of the harder tables in London to secure at short notice, so booking several days ahead – longer for a weekend – is strongly recommended if you have a specific date in mind. Dress here is smart-casual, though the room fills with a well-dressed crowd most evenings given its reputation. As noted above, budget realistically for a £100 minimum per person before drinks, with a typical evening for two landing comfortably in the £300s once you add a shared dessert and a bottle of wine. If Mayfair's flagship branch is booked out, the newer Marylebone location (opened May 2020) offers the same menu in a slightly less frenetic setting, and is worth asking your companion about if she knows it.

Planning Your Evening

For the full breakdown of what an evening like this costs once your companion's time is factored in alongside the restaurant bill, see our guide to how much a high class London escort costs. Old Park Lane sits within easy walking distance of Hyde Park Corner and Green Park tube, making it a straightforward add-on to an evening that continues elsewhere in Mayfair or Knightsbridge afterwards.

Quick Questions

Is Nobu worth the price?
Most guests say yes – the sushi quality is genuinely among the best in London, and the atmosphere and celebrity-spotting reputation add to the overall experience beyond just the food itself.

Which Nobu location should I choose?
The original Old Park Lane branch has the stronger reputation and atmosphere, but the newer Marylebone location is a good alternative if Mayfair is fully booked or you'd prefer a quieter room.

Is Nobu suitable for a first dinner date?
Very much so – the food gives you plenty to talk about, the room has energy without being too loud for conversation, and the celebrity-spotting reputation makes for good icebreaker chat with a new companion.

Is there a dress code?
Smart-casual is the norm, and while it's not strictly enforced, most guests dress to match the polished, well-heeled atmosphere of the room.

The bar area near the entrance is a good spot for a pre-dinner drink if your table isn't quite ready, and it also gives you a moment to take in the room's energy before you're seated properly for the evening ahead with your companion.
