Fusion restaurants in London

  1. A

    Modern Pantry

    Currently one of London's most talked-about eateries, this three-floor Georgian town house in the heart of Clerkenwell has a cracking innovative, all-day menu.

    E&O

    This Notting Hill hot spot presents fusion fare, which usually starts with an Asian base and then pirouettes into something resembling Pacific Rim (eg green curry with aubergine and lychee, or blackened cod with miso and chilli tofu). The decor is stark and minimalist – a ‘cheaper and cooler version of Nobu ’, the tout. You can do dim sum (£3.50 to £7) at the bar if no tables are available in the evening.

    Mr Wing

    Mr Wing is a very smart, rather pricey Asian-fusion place offering the full spectrum of Chinese cuisine with some Thai and Japanese cooking – tom yum with prawns, sake clay pot with seafood – thrown in. To recommend it are a plush, dark interior filled with greenery and tropical aquariums, helpful staff and a basement where live jazz sessions are held Thursday to Saturday nights.

    Providores & Tapa Room

    New Zealand's greatest culinary export since kiwi fruit, chef Peter Gordon works his fusion magic here, matching his creations with NZ wines. Downstairs, in a cute play on words, the Tapa Room (as in the Polynesian bark-cloth) serves sophisticated tapas, along with excellent breakfasts.

    Champor-Champor

    Not surprisingly, a restaurant whose name means ‘mix and match’ in Malay serves up some unusual creations. East-west cuisine includes ostrich sausages in Sichuan pepper-and-peanut sauce, and pigeon-and-plum hotpot, as well as vegetarian options such as roast aubergine teriyaki. Some dishes are successful, others less so. The eclectic Asian decor is a delight.
