Top Best Chinese Restaurants in St Brides

"Glamorous, moody and somehow still cool, Michelin-starred Cantonese trendsetter, Hakkasan remains the benchmark of all high-end Chinese restaurants and the food is as good as ever. For thrifty-ish dining, keep to the ambrosial dim sum and splash out on the grilled morel buns. For a full treat splurge, try the jasmine smoked ribs, crispy duck salad with pomelo, salty and moreish deep-fried softshell crab with specks of chilli and for full decadence: champagne-poached turbot and Peking Duck with foie gras."

"Cuisine: CantoneseHalal Options: No Halal options, but plenty of Fish and Veg optionsAddress: 8 Hanway Pl, Fitzrovia, London, W1T 1HD Website: https://hakkasan.com/locations/hakkasan-hanway-place/Nearest Tube Stop: Tottenham Court Road"

"Address: Hanway Place, London, W1T 1HD/ 17 Bruton Street, London, W1J 6QB. Nearest train station: Tottenham Court Road/ Green Park. Hakkasanis a Michelin-starred eatery with restaurants in Mayfair and Fitzrovia."

"For truly excellent dim sum in a sleek, stylish setting, there are few places in London that match contemporary tea room Yauatcha. Yet another standout Asian offering from Alan Yau (Hakkasan, The Duck And Rice, Wagamama and more), after opening in 2004, Yauatcha was awarded a Michelin star and has held onto it ever since. Located on the corner of Broadwick Street in Soho (although there’s also a newer, City outpost), passers-by line up to stare through the blue glass walls at the rows of picture-perfect patisseries."

"The City outpost of Cantonese-European-patisserie-mash-up Yauatcha is now offering home delivery. Choose from everything from steamed dim sum, open-topped scallop shui mai dumplings, venison puffs and crispy duck rolls to sweet and sour pork and Singapore vermicelli noodles. For the first time ever, the restaurant is also offering Taiwanese pineapple pastries – the sweet buttery cake, which has caramelised pineapple at its centre, is said to hold the key to prosperity and good fortune."

"Restaurants Chinese Soho. There’s substance behind the style at this Soho stalwart, which mixes high-concept design with day-and-night dim sum – think sticky-sweet venison puffs, umami-filled foie gras taro croquettes and lobster dumplings with tobiko caviar. With exotic teas, bigger plates, premium sakés and patisserie treats also on offer, it’s easy to see why Michelin came a-calling."

"London Bridge (33, The Shard, 31 St Thomas St, London SE1 9RY) With a menu which originated in the first Hutong restaurant in Hong Kong, London’s own version is located in the Shard, one of the city’s most distinctive buildings. This enormous skyscraper provides the ideal backdrop for a delicious meal – promising an intoxicating combination of great views and great food. The décor is also designed to reflect Hutong’s roots, with classic dishes from Northern China providing meals worth raving about."

"On the 33rd floor of The Shard, Hutong, whose name comes from the narrow lanes of the former capital of Peking, specialises in the seafood- and vinegar-based 'Lu' food of Shantong northern province and the fiery chilli accented Sichuan cuisine. There's a real sense of occasion here and the view at nighttime is mesmerising. Luxurious dim sum available at lunch include iberico xiao lang bao soup dumplings."

"Restaurants Contemporary Asian London Bridge. Like the original Hutong in Hong Kong, this London offshoot is a glitzy, high-end Chinese with magnificent views. It has the same northern Chinese menu, the same plate glass surrounds and the same ersatz Old Beijing decor."

"Restaurants Chinese Victoria. Forget gilded dragons, book-length menus and stir-fries by numbers, Andrew Wong’s pared-back Pimlico Chinese is a singular affair offering elevated cuisine at everyday prices. Preserved duck egg with marinated tofu, chill and soy is typical, as is poached razor clam with sea cucumber, vinegar tapioca and wind-dried sausage."

"Andrew Wong took over his parent's traditional Chinese restaurant in Victoria back in 2013 and proceeded to shake up the SW1 dining scene in no uncertain way, and it now has two Michelin stars. The 10-course tasting menu in the evening takes inspiration from Chinese history, but what you really want to do is come here for the lunchtime dim sum menu."

"This Michelin starred Chinese restaurant is the flagship for Andrew Wong (who is also behind Kym's in the City). In a pared-back room, the menu travels the broad spectrum of Chinese cooking and has a lunchtime dim sum menu that's absolutely worth crossing town for."

"Restaurants Chinese Kensington. We’re very fond of Min Jiang, not only for its superlative daytime views of Kensington Gardens, but also for its celebrated take on Beijing duck – a dish of two gigantic ritualistic servings that needs to be ordered in advance. Also expect Sichuan classics such as double-cooked pork belly with Chinese leeks."

"Find traditional Chinese cookery updated for the modern age at Kensington's Min Jiang. Although a great place for provincial Chinese dishes; many come simply for its wood-fired duck, which is served over two courses. Perched on the 10th floor of the Royal Garden Hotel, this stylish restaurant boasts views of Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens."

"Chinese restaurant Min Jiang is placed in the centre of fashionable Kensington on the tenth floor of the Royal Garden Hotel. The dining room has stunning views over Kensington Gardens, offering a rare panoramic landscape of luscious green canopies in the midst of the big smoke.minjiang.co.uk"

"Imagine lazing in a quiet backwater of Guangdong’s Pearl River at Feng Shang Princess, a floating restaurant in leafy Regent’s Park. Cantonese flavours dominate, with traditional favourites such as soft shell crab, crispy shredded beef and sweet and sour pork having attracted a host of celebrity diners over its 30 years."

"Andrew Wong and his eponymous restaurant have earned their place as one of London’s most show-stopping Chinese restaurants. At Wong’s newest – Kym’s in the Bloomberg Arcade – the plush opulence of the first is swapped for dark wood, low lighting and a cherry tree by the stairs. Focusing on classic Chinese barbecue and butchery with a few of A Wong’s dim sum and duck options, it’s a worthy addition to the family."

"Enjoy seafood and chilled wines in a relaxed setting at The Pop-up Summer Terrace at The Churchill, found at Hyatt Regency London – The Churchill. Decked out with a nautical theme, the Marylebone terrace mimics the feel of a harbour-side restaurant with wooden decking, scrolls encased in glass bottles and blue and white crockery. In-keeping with the theme, the menu is mainly focused on fish dishes designed for sharing, such as Whitstable oysters, lobster and fries, Devon mussels and squid linguine."

"Located inside a Grade-II listed Georgian townhouse, The Harcourt is a beautiful spot for lunchtime in Marylebone. Blessed with five rooms featuring stunning artworks and contemporary design, this is one opulent space to settle in to sample some modern European delights, with a nod to their Scandinavian heritage obvious throughout."

"Flor’s baking, now spearheaded by Emma Tillyer, Helen Evans, and Rihito Maruhashi after the departure of Anna Higham, puts a London accent on the exacting tradition and relentless experimentalism that make Paris and Copenhagen two of Europe’s most formidable cities for pastry. On the fringe of the city’s oldest food market, croissants and pain aux chocolats shatter into perfect layers, but carry the austere depth of fresh wheat and a deeply caramelised, savoury sheen; blackcurrant danishes — with blackcurrant leaf custard — and fig danishes — with fig leaf custard — possess seriousness of flavour and imagination to match their beauty. Currently open all day from Thursday — Sunday, it’s offering sandwiches and pizza alongside its outstanding pastries and breads."

"Let the bodies hit the floor, let the bodies hit the floor, let the bodies hit the floor.” Right, okay, now I’ve got that out of my system let’s talk about why Flor is one of the best bakeries in London. Created by the same team behind the highly acclaimed Lyle’s, Flor was a fully-fledged wine bar and bakery in its pre-pandemic heyday but has pivoted to operating solely as a hatch flogging pastries, bread, and sandwiches since lockdown took hold. We’re just grateful that’s been open at all, really."

"With the sunlight streaming into Flor’s first floor windows of a Saturday, the chic bakery, wine bar and restaurant by the laudable Lyle’s crew feels heaven-sent. Pam Yung is now firmly at the helm, and with lunch undivided from its mid-morning cousin, dishes might include cucumber aggressed by chicory and cocoa; a scallop aguachile with tarocco orange and rhubarb; or a maritozzo overspilling its cod brandade filling. Needless to say, the wine list is stellar."
