Summary: A Georgian townhouse with a 1920s Shanghai chic vibe.
MiMi Mei Fair is a luxurious escape into a fantasy of 20th-century Chinese elegance, nestled within a Georgian townhouse in London. With its distinctively themed floors, from the ground floor booths to the bright 'Parlour' on the first floor, the atmosphere is enchanting and whimsical, reminiscent of a Wong Kar-Wai film set. The menu is a testament to Chinese culinary traditions, with a focus on sharing and signature dishes like the wood-fire roasted Peking Duck. Veteran chef Peter Ho leads the kitchen, presenting an 'anecdotal' journey through China's diverse flavors, starting with exquisite dim sum and moving onto standout dishes such as langoustines wrapped in angel-hair pasta and the show-stopping Beijing duck, roasted and carved at the table. While the cocktails are original and refreshing, the wine list may not cater to those seeking value. Nevertheless, the combination of MiMi Mei Fair's captivating charm, attentive service, and high-quality cuisine makes for a 'surprisingly immersive experience' that transcends the ordinary dining outing.
