Nedalny Vostok translates as ‘Not-so far East’ – and indeed, with slick contemporary interiors by cult Japanese design team Superpotato and a delicious pan-asian menu from chef Glen Ballis, the Orient doesn’t feel too distant. Critics have been raving about Ballis’ innovative combinations of simple, fresh ingredients, and the open restaurant’s speciality is the Kamchtka crab – live specimens occupy a large aquarium – which is served in a variety of different guises, from soups to sushi rolls. Although the restaurant is huge, the low ceilings, tasteful lighting and dishes ideal for sharing make for a surprisingly intimate meal.
