You Me and Umami sits in the quiet village of Little Faringdon, a small settlement on the western edge of Oxfordshire where the Cotswolds meet Gloucestershire.
This restaurant is built around a single culinary concept: umami, the fifth basic taste that delivers rich, savoury depth. It's very much a destination in its own right, where people come specifically to eat rather than treating it as a casual waypoint. The menu approaches cooking with real thoughtfulness and complexity.
The dining experience here is contemporary and focused. Dishes are designed to linger on the palate, prepared with an attention to flavour that rewards taking your time over the meal. The quiet setting of Little Faringdon itself encourages you to settle in and give the experience proper attention, rather than rushing between sights.
For practical purposes, this works well as an evening stop if you're exploring the wider area. Faringdon market town is just a short drive away with its shops and services, while other appealing Cotswolds destinations like Lechlade-on-Thames and Burford are within easy reach. You could spend a day visiting nearby villages or attractions, then return here for dinner. This is a place where the focus stays on what's in front of you: refined cooking in a genuinely peaceful rural setting.
