Modern izakaya with exquisite Japanese-inspired cuisine and chic design
"Named a new Bib Gourmand in the MICHELIN Guide Great Britain & Ireland 2023." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team
"The traditional Japanese izakaya has found a home in the London dining scene, thanks to this trendy modern take on the concept. The chic, minimalist setting provides a good backdrop for imaginative dishes that combine British produce with Japanese techniques, like British beef used in the short rib donabe to share. The original streak extends to the desserts, where the approach is somewhat reversed by traditional western dishes such as tarte Tatin and English trifle being reimagined with Japanese flavours like miso, shiso and sake." - Michelin Inspector
"Evernight is an izakaya in spirit, but this polished Japanese spot in Nine Elms is as focused on its food as it is its mega-cool vibe. This is a destination spot given its location, but once you’re exploring the drinks list—you can jump from wine to sake to shochu if you so wish—and munching on chicken karaage at a bar that feels like an immersive lightbox, you’ll understand that Evernight is somewhere you seek and settle into." - team infatuation
"Added to the Bib Gourmand list as a British-Japanese izakaya in London, recognized for offering friendly, affordable quality food within Michelin’s three-course price criteria." - ByLi Goldstein
"Evernight is a futuristic restaurant that exists in the here and now. On paper it’s an izakaya-inspired restaurant in Nine Elms serving skewers and funky wines. But in reality it’s something far more Blade Runner-ish and slick. The minimalist space, all black blocks and clean wooden lines, feels like an immersive light box and the bar is its glowing bulb. This is where you want to get a seat, to watch the chefs at work and to go through the menu bite after bite—from an astounding sweetbread curry katsu bun to a tender skewer of beef tongue with black garlic and burnt apple—alongside glugs of riesling. Given the vaguely dystopian and thoroughly glassy chill of the surrounding Nine Elms development, there’s no surprise that Evernight is more cool than it is cuddly. But this type of restaurant, that’s so sure of its vision and so full of people looking to be thrilled, is all about feeling somewhere other than at home." - Jake Missing
