Available from 12 noon until 11pm daily, Watatsumi’s menu is an edited selection from the full menu that suits everything from lunch to a pre-theatre bite or a late night supper.
The restaurant’s signature tartares and tataki are available as are bento boxes, udon and donburi (rice bowl dishes) all designed with all-day dining in mind. Key dishes from the à la carte such as the grilled wagyu sirloin steak with a trio of sauces and roasted, miso-glazed black cod are also on the menu. Desserts and light bites, perfect with a cocktail or two, complete the offering.
Lunch at Watatsumi is a very relaxed affair and with prices starting at just £10.50 for a bowl of steaming udon noodles, at £12.50 for donburi (including miso soup and Japanese pickles) or at £14.50 for a Watatsumi bento box, it doesn’t have to be expensive.
