Summary: Sophisticated, balanced cuisine.
Hakkasan Mayfair, a seductive subterranean restaurant, invites diners to an exotic escape in the heart of the city. Known for its sophisticated and well-balanced Cantonese cuisine, the venue offers an extensive menu with signature dishes like roasted silver cod, black truffle roasted duck, and spicy prawn. The dimly lit lower floor creates a particularly intimate atmosphere for dinner, while the ground floor is perfect for a lunchtime dim sum experience. With its energizing atmosphere, flattering lighting, and stylish décor, this is a destination where appearances matter, from the carved oriental screens to the good-looking staff. While the tables might be tightly packed, the food is undoubtedly high-quality, with dishes that are both classic and inventive. The pork ribs smoked with jasmine tea, Singapore noodles with jumbo prawns, and the lightest of batters for soft-shell crab are just a few highlights. Balance is the hallmark of their kitchen, evident in every dish from the sweet-and-sour Duke of Berkshire pork to the hot-and-sour crispy freshwater prawns. Although the wines can be pricey, they are well-curated and complement the meals beautifully. For those looking for a special dining experience or just wanting to feel special, Hakkasan Mayfair is a perfect choice.
