Restaurant and Bar Awards 2025 | 5 Beyond key dishes across its menus, the fusion approach taken by Restaurant Toshiya goes a step further, seen through its interior. Offering an authentic Japanese dining experience in a modern and minimalist setting, the dining area is dimly lit to make guests feel comfortable and relaxed. Given that it is a favourite amongst the local population, it is often quite busy inside Restaurant Toshiya, especially at weekends, but this is not to say that guests feel cramped or rushed.
