We know that choosing a venue for the work Christmas party can be tricky. After all, it needs to tick all the boxes when it comes to location, vibe and crowd-pleasing food. Well, if your team are partial to Japanese cuisine, you need to check out Kazu which arguably has the best location in all of London - right on Charlotte Street in the heart of Fitzrovia.
As well as its glamorous spot, just a few minutes walk from Oxford Circus tube station, Kazu packs a punch when it comes to design and atmosphere. Very much adhering to classic Japanese interior design sensibilities, the main restaurant is a calming space with large windows and plenty of natural light, favouring earthy materials and colours, alongside minimalist shapes. Speak to the team about booking a larger table or even taking over part of the space - or, take a look at the private dining room.
Kazu's private dining room is a masterclass in effortless chic, showcasing a sleek, central dining table and capacity for up to 12 people, with six people as a minimum. Diners are invitied to enjoy lunch or dinner here, and while there's no staggering hire fee for the room, the team asks you pay £10 per person to secure their space. All events bookings are treated as unique and while the menu boasts over 100 traditional Japanese dishes, you're welcome to talk to the team about making your meal extra special with bespoke touches - be that the menu, festive cocktails or decorations.
Kazu offers everything from soups and noodle dishes to tempura and sushi, with a special focus on sashimi. If your team are sushi fans, be sure to look through the seared sushi options, inside-out rolls and chef's selection of sashimi which features wagyu and scallops.
