Hawker House and Bar

$$$

Inspired by the flavors and vibrancy of South East Asian street food and hawker markets, the menu at this busy restaurant is designed to be shared, so the dishes are sent out from the kitchen when ready. Start the evening with a glass of sparkling sake or one of their cocktails, inspired by Old Shanghai and Singapore. There are three dining options—the raised Chef’s Dining area and Chef’s Dining Room. Both can be booked (sittings at 6 pm and 8 pm). The rest of the space is more casual.
