Humo

In the heart of Mayfair, HUMO delivers a dining experience that’s both elemental and refined, drawing on the primal allure of fire to create dishes of poetic precision. The restaurant’s concept centres around open-fire cooking using an array of woods — from Silver Birch to Cherry — to heighten and layer the flavours of sashimi-style fish, fire-grilled vegetables, and aged meats. Divided into four sections — Ignite, Smoke, Flame, and Embers — the menu represents a journey through heat and craft, pairing Japanese technique with the best of British seasonal produce. HUMO champions its philosophy of “fire dining” as casual elegance, combining meticulous sourcing with theatrical flair in an atmosphere that feels both intimate and sophisticated. Critics have praised HUMO’s commitment to sensory immersion, noting the restaurant's meticulous presentation and the smoky complexity of its tasting menus. Every plate reflects a reverence for natural elements and ingredient-led creativity. It’s a space where dinner becomes a performance, fire becomes the language, and flavour takes centre stage. Ideal for special occasions, this fine dining experience runs deep with innovation, sometimes offering seasonal specials for guests who return to rediscover new sparks. Open for lunch and dinner Monday to Saturday, HUMO has rapidly become a Mayfair dining destination for those who appreciate seasonal British cuisine interpreted through the precision and artistry of Japanese cooking.
