If your idea of a perfect London summer includes botanical cocktails, sashimi under the sun, and maple trees over mojitos, then Nobu Hotel London Shoreditch has just delivered your seasonal nirvana. From 5 May to 4 August 2025, their iconic Nobu Bar & Terrace is transforming into an urban sanctuary – the Nobu Shoreditch summer terrace, a Japanese Garden Escape crafted for East London’s sun-chasers and style-lovers alike.
This isn’t your average terrace with a couple of potted palms. Think sculptural Japanese Maple Trees, cascading Star Jasmine, and design that marries Tokyo elegance with Shoreditch cool. It’s lush, it’s chic, and it smells faintly of jasmine and lightly charred Black Cod.
A Botanical Hideaway That Blends Nature, Culture, and Cocktails
Nobu Shoreditch has created more than a terrace; it’s an experience that elevates outdoor dining to an artform. Designed as a tranquil homage to Japanese gardens, it’s open to hotel guests and the public alike, making it your new go-to spot for after-work drinks, lazy brunches, or weekday lunch retreats.
The vibe? Zen meets zesty.
As sunlight filters through the maple leaves, settle into the lounge and order from the new Botanical Cocktail Menu. These aren’t your average summer sips. Crafted with herbs, florals, and bold international flavours, each cocktail reads like a poem in a glass.
Try the Botanica, a refreshingly bitter blend of Suze French Liqueur, dry vermouth reduction, and Peychaud’s bitters. Or go full fuego with the El Curandero, mixing tamarind, hoja santa, coconut milk and habanero bitters—tequila in hand, of course. Prefer something floral? The Jasmine Vesper Martini is a breezy, elegant twist on the classic, with Riesling and jasmine cordial bringing the calm.
From Sashimi to Sliders: The Nobu Shoreditch All-Day Menu
If your stomach’s rumbling like a festival bassline, the Nobu Bar & Terrace All-Day Menu has you covered. Available weekdays from 12pm, and weekends from 5pm, the menu gives you light yet flavour-packed plates designed for sharing or hoarding (we don’t judge).
Expect Nobu icons like Spicy Tuna Hand Rolls, ceviche, and Yellowtail Tempura with Amazu Ponzu, alongside fresh newcomers like tacos, sliders, and colourful poke bowls. Not sure where to start? The Taste of Nobu menu (just £75 for two) is a curated edible symphony that hits every note.
Nobu Brunch Goes Al Fresco — Yes, Finally
The Nobu bottomless brunch is already a London legend. Now it’s stepping outside for the first time—literally. Every Saturday and Sunday, plus Bank Holiday Mondays, you can tuck into an indulgent brunch in this breezy Japanese oasis.
Here’s what that looks like:
- Starter plates of Edamame & Padron Peppers with Mint Miso.
- A choice of signature mains: think Rock Shrimp Tempura, Black Cod Miso, or Umami Chicken.
- Unlimited grazing from stations including the Crispy Rice Bar, Handroll Station, and the Taco Bar.
- To top it off? A Dessert Buffet so good it could cause full-on spoon duels.
Prices start at £90pp, with optional bottomless drinks packages:
- Classic (£40): Prosecco, Asahi, Kumquat Spritz.
- Premium (£50): Crémant, Picpoul, curated wines.
- Zero (£30): Royal Flush Sparkling Tea, 0% beer, Virgin Mojitos.
Shoreditch Culture with a Hint of Tokyo Minimalism
The Nobu Shoreditch summer terrace blends the art of Eastern tranquillity with the energy of Shoreditch creativity. Whether you’re sipping cocktails under the stars, hosting a stylish brunch date, or simply dodging another bland city lunch, this is the space to feel relaxed, refined, and refreshingly full.
Nestled just off Great Eastern Street, it’s close enough to Old Street station but far enough from the chaos. Inside, it’s still unmistakably Nobu—clean lines, subtle luxury, and serious flavour. Outside, it’s like walking into a calm pocket of Kyoto, minus the flight.
Whether you’re a foodie, a cocktail connoisseur, or just looking for the next beautiful London hangout, the Nobu Shoreditch summer terrace is your invitation to unwind and indulge.
