Tattu London

The look
The design takes its cue from a traditional Chinese courtyard house. At the centre is a cherry blossom garden, and the dining spaces are themed around four mythical creatures. The effect is theatrical and glamorous, so this is a place people dress up for and photograph. Even the lighting and furnishings are designed to feel like an occasion, so it suits anniversaries, birthdays and celebratory dinners.
Food and drinks
The menu is contemporary Chinese, pairing traditional flavours with modern techniques, and Time Out has praised the cooking. The rooftop bar, The Opposite House, has a sky terrace dotted with ornate bird cages and is a good spot for a drink before dinner even if you are not eating. Private spaces are available for events.
Location
Outernet sits at the junction of Tottenham Court Road and Charing Cross Road, making Tattu handy for West End theatres, Soho and Covent Garden. Seven Dials Market is a short walk if you want something more casual, and STG Hotel Oxford Street is next door for an overnight stay. Booking is advised, particularly at weekends. Allow a little time to reach the rooftop entrance at Outernet before your booking.
