Din Tai Fung’s much anticipated third London restaurant, located in the heart of Centre Point – the West End’s most recognisable landmark – is now open.
The popular Michelin Guide recognised Taiwanese restaurant, famous for its iconic Xiao Long Bao – steaming hot soup dumplings – has opened its third London site at Centre Point. The new site has capacity for 218 diners and offers guests an unrivalled dining experience, serving the same menu as its sister sites but with the additional offering of a separate bar area. With floor to ceiling windows on both sides, creating a cosmopolitan vibe, Din Tai Fung Centre Point is the perfect place to enjoy post-work and pre-dinner cocktails with a view.
Din Tai Fung Centre Point guests can enjoy the brand’s famous Xiao Long Bao, as well as its signature cocktails Din, Tai and Fung. The new restaurant will also serve delicious treats such as the sweet twist on the classic steamed bun, the popular Salted Egg Yolk Custard Lava Bun. Further enhancing the exceptional dining experience, guests will have their food delivered to them by robots.
Din Tai Fung’s heritage and culinary craftmanship is at the heart of the brand, with over 60 years serving authentic Taiwanese cuisine. The brand serves over 100 million Xiao Long Bao a year worldwide; however, their cuisine remains largely unchanged from their humble beginnings. Each of their iconic Xiao Long Bao takes 40 minutes of hand preparation, carried out by dedicated Dian Xin, dim sum chefs, who ensure that each dish keeps to the high standards that are expected from the brand. To display this artistry and skill, Centre Point will feature Din Tai Fung’s signature open kitchen, much like its sister sites at Selfridges and Covent Garden.
This latest expansion, in such an iconic location, marks a pivotal moment for Din Tai Fung which has gone from strength to strength in recent years, demonstrating the brand’s ongoing popularity and firmly cementing its position as a leading ‘cult’ favourite.
