For Great Dumplings In Central, Head To Yauatcha City
Tucked into Broadgate Circle near Liverpool Street, Yauatcha City is a chic escape from the City’s hustle, and a great spot to get genuine Cantonese food in the city. Glass, greenery and soft colours make it the perfect backdrop for a lunch, brunch or evening out.
What sets it apart?
The combination of inventive dim sum and polished presentation makes this a London gem. The kitchen experiments with flavours and textures, while the interior feels elevated, yet casual.
The location
Set in the heart of the City, Yauatcha City is both easy to reach and a welcome escape from the streets outside. Its sleek, airy interiors make it a stylish spot for any occasion.
The interiors are cool, all glass and modern design, plus its location make this a true gem.
The food at Yauatcha always delivers, and it doesn’t hurt that everything is so colourful and pretty. The dumplings are hard to beat – my favourite is the scallop shui mai.
