More infoOctopus' Garden has run serious sushi off Cornwall since the early 1990s, predating every trend that claimed to improve on it. The omakase is why regulars guard their reservations like state secrets: uni, bluefin, and foie gras, course after course. Take the bar seats, surrender the menu entirely, and let the chef set the pace. The only hard part is scoring the reservation.
Pick the seats at the bar of this tiny Kits Point room and surrender the menu entirely, the omakase is the reason regulars guard their reservations, course after course of uni, bluefin and 'oh, that's what fish is supposed to taste like.' It's intimate to the point of conspiratorial, so budget about two hours and let it run. Book well ahead and arrive unhurried; Kits Beach and the seawall are minutes away for a slow walk after.
