Hakkasan

Located off Tottenham Court Road, this basement eatery offers a modern approach to classic Cantonese dishes, a philosophy also reflected in the place's upscale decor. Decorative screens, sleek black furniture, and a bevy of fashionable regulars make the sophisticated setting all the more attractive. Of course, creative cuisine gets rave reviews as well, thanks to roasted mango duck with lemon sauce and roasted silver cod with champagne and Chinese honey. The dim sum lunch is extremely popular with business folks. Their sister restaurant, Hakkasan Mayfair got its first Michelin star in 2011, with steamed mini lobster, and black truffle duck present on the menu. TUBE: Tottenham Court Road
