Nanban, c’est le genre d’endroit qu’on découvre par hasard et qu’on finit par adorer pour son charme décontracté. L’ambiance est cool, un peu bruyante, mais c’est ce qui fait son charme : la musique soul en fond, des tables qui se remplissent, et une énergie qui ne faiblit pas. Les plats sont originaux, avec une touche japonaise subtile—pensez à la salade de pamplemousse au shichimi, ou aux tempuras frais préparés avec des produits du marché de Brixton.
Ce n’est pas un restaurant pour des dîners silencieux et raffinés, mais c’est exactement ce qui le rend spécial. L’endroit est parfait pour un groupe d’amis qui veulent partager plusieurs petites assiettes en discutant et en profitant de la soirée. Si vous cherchez un lieu de quartier avec sa propre personnalité, vous l’avez trouvé.
