'I went to UK's most unique restaurant – I can't believe what happened there'
A food reviewer has shared his experience at one of London's most unique restaurants which offers 'the craziest dining experience' and is priced at a whopping £250 per person
A food lover from the US was floored after visiting this unique restaurant in London – and it is not for the squeamish. There are so many restaurants in the capital city which cater to people's food needs, and if you are a fish lover, Tuna Fight Club could be for you. The VIP spot has been hailed as "the craziest dining experience" as staff chop up a large tuna fish, killed the day before off the coast of Spain, moments before you eat it.
The owner of the Notting Hill eatery, Chris D'Sylva, started the tradition at the local fishmonger he co-owns, before transforming it into a premium supermarket during the Covid-19 pandemic. The owners hired chefs who had been made redundant, partnered with Cornish fishermen, then began hosting an event at Supermarket of Dreams in Holland Park, where guests are ushered in to see and taste the bluefin tuna.
Viral food reviewer Jack, better known as Jack's Dining Room on TikTok where he boasts 1.7million followers and tries the most popular food spots, went to experience Tuna Fight Club for the first time recently.
As he shared clips of his experience, Jack explained: "We're at Tuna Flight Club, they get a fresh tuna flown in to Heathrow Airport and they drive it directly to the restaurant then they cut it in front of the entire restaurant. They wheel it through the restaurant, put it on this massive chopping block, saw this tuna in half and you have a nine course tasting meal.
"Honestly, this is one of the most insane things I've ever seen in my life," he added. "It doesn't really get fresher than this, they break it down two inches away from your table." They served the tuna in seaweed wraps, in sushi form with some fresh truffle, cooked with caviar on top, and more.
One individual who is keen to visit the spot said: "London has the BEST restaurants in the world!" "As a tuna fisherman, this is so cool to watch," commented another.
"This is my dream meal," commented one other. "Wow this looks and sounds absolutely amazing," added one other.
One other agreed: "Broooo! This is amazing. I need to go there! Just wow! You really put on the the people. Bless man." Another said: "Looks amazing! I'd so try this. What an experience."
Another who is not as keen, commented: "I know about this." "Raw fish? No way," commented another. "Nah, this is wild," said another.
"Anybody thinking, oh my god that poor fish?" questioned another. "The tripping blood got me...," agreed another. "I wouldn't eat raw fish for anything," added one other.
How to visit Tuna Flight Club
Tickets to visit Tuna Flight Club are £250 per person, which includes Krug Champagne on arrival and caviar through the night. Tickets are now available for August.
A spokesperson for Tuna Flight Club said: "Due to overwhelming demand, you will no longer be able to 'race' online for tickets. To eliminate the resale and trading of Tuna Flight Club tickets, regulars can purchase through direct channels and first timers/newbies will need to be invited, in person, by visiting one of our brands. Tuna Flight Club is earned."
They added: "We have introduced a new system, with Monday night only for first timers/newbies and Tuesday night for regulars. Tickets will be offered in tranches of two or four. Priority will be given to tranches of four tickets per purchase. First timers: will only be able to secure tickets in person (IRL) by coming to eat at Urchin, Dorian or Eel sushi, This won't necessarily entitle you to tickets but 'charm is the currency', entitlement is punished!
"If you're a nice the team will invite you to purchase tickets."
