A Wong

A Wong is the first Chinese restaurant outside Asia to ever receive two of the coveted symbols of excellence. Chef Andrew Wong’s inspiration comes from his travels through the provinces of China and he presents his own unique interpretations of dishes from all its regions. He is also a chef who never stops refining his own creations and these now demonstrate extraordinary sophistication, creativity and depth of flavour. If you want to experience the full repertoire of this talented kitchen, then go for the ‘Taste of China’ menu which takes you on a 3-hour culinary voyage around the country. If you come at lunchtime for the great dim sum you’ll wonder why you ever go anywhere else at midday. To get a closer look at how it’s all done, ask for a seat at the kitchen counter, or alternatively start with a drink downstairs in the Forbidden City. Clued up service adds to the overall experience, with dishes explained in full with obvious pride.
