Bam-Bou, London

This multi-cuisine restaurant follows the footsteps of similar haunts in Paris and New York. The decor is colonial; rattan chairs, bamboo, khaki-attired waiters yet sleek; and the dark, slightly seedy upstair bars will make you feel like you're in the private opium den of a wealthy townhouse owner. For some reason, this place isn't overrun with people, but it is still popular, so book to be safe. The food is as expected, that's to say ‘easy on the Western palate', but spiced up with Asian touches like lemongrass, ginger and coconut. People not completely clued up on the Pacific Rim/fusion genre will love the food!
