About

This high-end, 1930s-style Taiwanese dining room is run by the team behind Bao.

Diners can expect plush décor from a bygone era: think ceiling fans and lashings of wood panelling.

On the menu are a raft of creative Taiwanese dishes, including chilli egg drop crab and grilled seabass.

Also on offer are a variety of teas, served in the style of a Taiwanese tea ceremony and administered by the Tea Master at the Tea Kiosk.

XU is the name behind the co-founder and chef Erchen Chang’s late grandfather, who the menu proclaims was a great lover of tea and poetry.
