Yauatcha

Yet another gold-star venture by Alan Yau (Wagamama, Hakkasan, Busaba Eathai, Cha Cha Moon), this sleek and stylish hot spot serves (to those who can get a table) inventive dim sum in its basement space and mesmerizingly beautiful cakes in its ground-floor tea room. Unlike anything before it in London. From outside you can survey the available-for-takeout cakes through the aquarium-like window. Has Michelin approval.
