Restaurant gift voucher: give an evening at Aki London
Some people are impossible to buy for because they edit rather than collect. They know every boutique on Marylebone High Street by the owner’s first name, the coffee table book came from Daunt, and the fragrance arrived from Chiltern Street the week it launched. For a Christmas gift for someone who has everything, skip the object and give them an evening.
An Aki restaurant gift voucher is that evening, wrapped. Here at Aki, a Japanese restaurant in a Grade II listed former bank on Cavendish Square, Marylebone, it can be spent on brunch, afternoon tea, the nine-course Signature Menu, robata or omakase, and it is valid for 12 months.

Why a dinner beats another object
People of discerning taste don’t collect things. They collect stories: the meal, the cocktail, the conversation that ran long into the night. A voucher adds one to the collection, and it says that you know they value craft and atmosphere. They choose the night, the table and the company.
