About HUMO, London

HUMO, located in the heart of Mayfair, London, is a unique fine-dining restaurant that has redefined the art of cooking with fire. Opened in January 2023, the restaurant is the brainchild of Colombian-born chef Miller Prada, who trained under the renowned sushi chef Endo Kazutoshi. HUMO, which means “smoke” in Spanish, revolves around a four-meter-long wood-fired grill that serves as the centerpiece of its open kitchen. Remarkably, the restaurant operates without gas or electricity, relying entirely on fire and a curated selection of woods—such as juniper, cherry, and apple—to impart distinct flavors to its dishes. This innovative approach has earned HUMO a Michelin star, highlighting its high-quality cooking and creative techniques.

The menu at HUMO is divided into four thematic sections—Ignite, Smoke, Flame, and Embers—each representing a different stage of fire. These categories guide diners through a culinary journey that blends Japanese precision, Colombian heritage, and the finest British ingredients. For instance, dishes feature elements like Chalk Stream trout, Scottish langoustines, and Cornish lamb, all prepared with meticulous attention to detail. The restaurant’s small plates concept encourages diners to share and explore multiple flavors, with a recommendation of eight dishes for two people. Even desserts, such as a lemon tart, are touched by fire, showcasing the restaurant’s commitment to its flame-based philosophy.

HUMO’s dining experience is as much about the atmosphere as it is about the food. The restaurant seats just 34 guests, creating an intimate and exclusive environment. Its design features wood paneling, marble accents, and a sleek, industrial aesthetic that complements the drama of the open grill. Guests can choose to sit at the counter surrounding the kitchen, where they can watch the chefs expertly handle the flames, or at one of the solid wood tables. The interaction between chefs and diners adds an element of performance to the meal, making it a sensory experience that goes beyond taste alone.

In addition to its à la carte offerings, HUMO provides a chef’s counter experience called Abajo, where diners can enjoy a tasting menu inspired by Colombian cuisine. This exclusive option highlights the restaurant’s versatility and commitment to showcasing diverse culinary influences. While HUMO is undoubtedly a premium dining destination, with prices reflecting its sophistication, it offers a truly unique and memorable experience for those seeking innovative fine dining. The combination of fire-based cooking, global inspirations, and British ingredients makes HUMO a standout addition to London’s vibrant culinary scene.
