Christmas in London can lean nostalgic, but at Sexy Fish, tradition is replaced with spectacle. This season, the restaurant unveils “Neon Fishmas,” an electrified underwater fantasy created in partnership with Don Julio, transforming Berkeley Square into a surreal fusion of cabaret sensuality, Japanese finesse and high-voltage futurism.
The result is less festive décor and more immersive theatre, a glowing coral dreamscape where sea creatures flicker in neon and the room pulses with colour, energy and immaculate design. Guests are not simply dining; they are stepping into a world that feels half-nightclub, half-aquatic hallucination, with contemporary Japanese cuisine and tequila-driven mixology as the narrative thread.
For diners searching for luxury Christmas dining in London, Sexy Fish offers a festive experience that celebrates excess, artistry and unapologetic glamour.
A Neon Installation Designed for Sensory Escape
Design has always been central to Sexy Fish’s mythology, and this festive reinvention heightens the fantasy. Created by Martin Brudnizki Design Studio, the restaurant’s interiors are already a curated collision of mid-century glamour, aquatic surrealism and modern opulence, layered with artworks by Damien Hirst, Frank Gehry and Michael Roberts.
At Christmas, the space is drenched in a palette of neon pink, electric blue and liquid green, transforming the restaurant into a futuristic reef bathed in shifting light. Sculptural elements glow, surfaces shimmer, and every reflective plane becomes a portal to another dimension.
For design lovers, Sexy Fish is less a restaurant and more a live, cinematic installation. For London, it remains one of the most visually ambitious dining spaces, where aesthetics are not merely backdrops but experiences.
Festive Mixology with Don Julio: High Voltage Indulgence
The festive partnership with Don Julio infuses Sexy Fish with a new kind of theatricality, expressed through limited-edition tequila cocktails that match the tone of the room.
The Merry Fishmas, Don Julio Reposado and 1942 with Pedro Ximenez, coffee and cinnamon, is rich, deep, and made for late-night decadence. The Not So Silent Night brings Don Julio Blanco together with horchata and vermouth, the kind of drink that feels both nostalgic and defiantly modern.
These aren’t Christmas cocktails designed for whimsy. They are built for night-time glamour, pairing intensity, complexity and imaginative flair with the confidence one expects from Sexy Fish London.
The Sexy Fishmas Omakase: A Modern Feast of Japanese Luxury
Food takes centre stage through the Sexy Fishmas Omakase, a five-course tasting menu that lands at £134 per person and reads like a parade of culinary desire.
Highlights include Crispy Eryngii Mushroom & Black Truffle Gyoza, King Crab Croquettes, sashimi platters overflowing with freshness and grilled lobster with fermented chilli, followed by Japanese A5 Wagyu, a crescendo of flavour and finesse that underscores Sexy Fish’s authority in contemporary Asian cuisine.
Dessert arrives as a Christmas sharing platter, indulgent and theatrical, a finale designed for an audience that understands dining not as sustenance, but as performance.
For those seeking Japanese fine dining in London, this menu stands apart, precise, playful, poised between technique and seduction.
Weekends of Excess: The Sexy Fish Brunch
Sundays at Sexy Fish are a festival unto themselves, a high-energy brunch ritual featuring live DJ performances, abundant seafood, sushi and robata signatures.
Guests dine from a buffet of sashimi, maki, hot dishes and sweet finishes, with options to upgrade to meat, fish or mixed platters, lavish enough to satisfy even those with the most theatrical appetites.
Champagne, particularly Ruinart, flows with the effortlessness expected in Mayfair, while bespoke cocktails and low alcohol serves ensure that brunch can stretch luxuriously into the afternoon. In a city where brunch has become performance art, Sexy Fish remains a benchmark.
New Year’s Eve: Midnight in the Neon Deep
The year closes with Midnight Fish, a New Year’s Eve celebration where the restaurant transforms into a neon underwater nightclub. Installations glow like bioluminescent sculptures, and the Neon Glow Bar serves a limited-edition Don Julio 1942 cocktail menu, designed to dazzle beneath backlight and mirror.
A minimum spend of £295 per person secures entry into the spectacle, a commitment to decadence that feels entirely appropriate in a venue where dinner routinely slips into storytelling.
For those looking for New Year’s Eve parties in London, Sexy Fish offers something intoxicatingly different, a night defined not by noise, but by luminous fantasy.
A Destination of Art, Appetite and After-Dark Fantasy
Beyond the festive season, Sexy Fish London remains a destination for eclectic, design-led Asian-inspired cuisine, cocktails and late-night glamour, located in the heart of Mayfair, steps from Berkeley Square.
The restaurant houses one of the world’s largest Japanese whisky collections, and its bar team continues to push boundaries in inventive cocktail design. Downstairs, The Coral Room is a private dining space with two of the largest live coral reef tanks in the world, proof that theatrical scale and biological beauty can coexist in a restaurant context.
Sexy Fish is open seven days a week, offering lunch, dinner, tasting menus, and high-impact brunch experiences, all informed by a single philosophy: dining should feel like drama, not routine.
A Neon Wonderland for London’s Festive Season
This Christmas, Sexy Fish is not offering sentimentality; it offers spectacle. Neon installations, tequila-driven storytelling, precision Japanese cuisine, music, art, fantasy and celebration, a total sensory immersion designed to seduce the city out of winter gloom.
For diners seeking luxury dining experiences in London, Japanese restaurants in Mayfair, or design-led festive celebrations, Neon Fishmas delivers something beautifully excessive, unapologetically modern and entirely unforgettable.
