China Tang at The Dorchester: Celebrate the Lunar New Year in Style

China Tang at The Dorchester is one of London’s most iconic dining destinations, offering an exceptional journey into the world of Cantonese cuisine. Located in the heart of Mayfair within the prestigious Dorchester Hotel, the restaurant seamlessly combines culinary mastery with old-world glamour. Designed to evoke the elegance of 1930s Shanghai, its interiors feature opulent art deco details, hand-painted silk murals, and plush furnishings, creating a setting that is as exquisite as the menu.

Renowned for its authenticity, China Tang’s menu is a celebration of traditional Cantonese flavours, presented with refined craftsmanship. Highlights include delicately steamed dim sum, tender Char Siu pork, and the ever-popular Peking duck, roasted to perfection and served with handmade pancakes.

The bar at China Tang is equally impressive, offering a curated selection of Chinese teas and creative cocktails inspired by the East. The Tang Sling, a house favourite, blends tropical and herbal flavours for a refreshing twist.

From 28th January to 2nd February, diners are invited to celebrate the Year of the Snake with a harmonious blend of timeless traditions and exquisite Cantonese cuisine. Beginning 24th January, The Dorchester restaurant will be transformed with dazzling Chinese lanterns, creating a vibrant and atmospheric backdrop for the festivities. On the evenings of 28th and 29th January, high-energy lion dance performances will infuse the celebrations with colour, excitement, and tradition.

The festive spirit continues with a specially curated menu of Chef’s Specials, designed exclusively for the occasion. Highlights include the Lo Hei 生水起 (魚生/鮑魚撈起) – a raw Fish Salad or Abalone Salad available only on 28th and 29th January, a dish symbolising prosperity and good fortune. Other standout dishes include Lobster with XO Sauce on Crispy Noodles 龍騰四海 (XO醬龍蝦烘面底), a nod to longevity, and the indulgent Cornucopia of Mixed Seafood and Poultry 五福臨門 (新春盆菜), featuring premium Japanese or Australian abalone, an opulent creation perfect for celebration.
