Pumping Dumplings. Yauatcha in Soho, London

One of Soho's best, this Chinese teahouse is anything but traditional.  The open kitchen creates a buzzing atmosphere and it's a great place to do a spot of people watching.  Serving dim sum as well as handmade macaroons and chocolates, the only reason I would need to leave is to get a drink... Oh that's right, I forgot to mention they also serve an interesting variety of Chinese and Indian teas.

For those in need of something harder, there are all the usual culprits as well as a great selection of sake and cocktails - the Nashi Momo and Lemonberry Martini are seriously good.  You can't go wrong with the food but I would highly recommend the crispy duck rolls and wild mushroom dumplings.  I hope you have a separate dessert stomach because you won't want to stop at mains...
