Kaiseki, Maida Hill Place

Kaiseki, a Japanese-themed menu, returns to Kitchen Theory at Maida Hill Place for two weekends

After a successful stint at House of Wolf, Kitchen Theory revives ‘Kaiseki’ , a multi-sensory extravaganza with a nine course Japanese-inspired menu at its core, in Maida Vale this month. 

Founded by Jozef Yousef, a former member of the kitchen teams at The Fat Duck and The Dorchester Hotel , Kitchen Theory originally started life as a website that shared research into the gastronomic field. However, fortunately for us, the sum of all this information amounted to a series of sensually extraordinary, experimental dinners. 

While the term ‘Kaiseki’ refers to a traditional, Japanese multi-course dinner, as well as the techniques involved in its preparation, Kitchen Theory have infused a modern edge and so simultaneously showcase the work of calligrapher and director, Aerosyn-Lex Mestovic. The evening will kick off with his directorial debut short film, ‘Scriptura Vitae’ , which acts as the source of inspiration to the dinner to follow.
