Yauatcha Soho $$$

Great stylish location in the middle of Soho district in London. This one star michelin restaurant features dim sum all day served traditionally with green tea. The menu card is bigger than just dim sum and every item sounds delicious. The menu is extensive but all is made fresh on order. If you eat only vegan let the staff know. They are more than happy to help you and point out the items made with dairy and eggs.

We did choose a table downstairs where also the open kitchen is located. Through milky blue glass you can watch the chefs make dim sum. The place is a bit dark but all the stars at the ceiling and the six meter long aquarium and bar adds to an unique atmosphere. We had a selection of dim sum with outstanding mushroom filling and a few with seafood. We also did choose a spicy aubergine dish with vegetarian rice. That rice was not from this world…

It was overall a divine experience and we will go back. For what we ordered the bill was very reasonable for this kind of restaurant. We were there for lunch which is a bit more relaxed. You should dress casual posh if this makes sense. You will have to make reservations and show up on time or your table is gone within 15 minutes. You will have only two hours to complete your meal but it is plenty of time to enjoy and have your moment. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible.
