A gorgeous new opening from the people behind the much-loved Bao, Xu (30 Rupert St, W1D 6DL; 020 3319 8147) is styled like a 1930s Taiwan tea room, complete with private Majhong games rooms.

The feasting menu includes glamorous delights such as lotus crisps and char siu Iberico pork collar.

After dinner, you can slink around the corner to the speakeasy-style Opium parlour (The Jade Door, 15-16 Gerrard St, W1D 6JE; 020 7734 7276; above Dumplings' Legend) and enjoy a Zodiac cocktail aligned with your birth sign; 2018 is the Year of the Dog.

Served in a cute ceramic puppy, the Dog cocktail is made of raisin-infused Chivas Regal whisky, noisette, biscuit syrup, chocolate bitters and mead. It's so sweet it might make you howl, but it's worth it for the novelty factor alone.
