Tomos Parry's Michelin-starred Beak Street wood-fired room — the Basque grill that Brat became Soho-confident in
Rainer Becker's original 2004 robatayaki — the Charlotte Street counter Roka grew from, with Shochu Lounge in the basement
Charlotte Street is the original Roka — Rainer Becker opened it in 2004 as the casual robatayaki sibling to Zuma, and it remains the flagship of the seven-city group. The centre of the room is the open robata grill, with a counter wrapped around it and dining tables on the perimeter; the menu is contemporary Japanese, sushi-strong, the grill is the headline. The basement is Shochu Lounge — a darker cocktail room serving the full Roka kitchen, weekend DJ sets from 19:00, and shochu infusions you can sit at the bar and drink your way through. The Fitzrovia answer for a media-industry dinner that needs to land somewhere recognisable.
Sit at the robata counter, not the floor tables — the close-up of the grill is the point of coming to the original site. Drop into Shochu Lounge in the basement for the after-dinner shochu flight; happy hour from 17:00 to 19:00 weekdays. Friday and Saturday evenings book a fortnight ahead.
