Lucky Cat is just one of five restaurants that Gordon Ramsay is opening at London’s 22 Bishopsgate. The skyscraper is London's tallest office building, and will no doubt enchant diners who are lucky enough to get a reservation. After successful openings in Mayfair, Miami and Manchester, Lucky Cat will become London's highest restaurant, offering an Asian-inspired menu with incredible views of the city. If you visit on a warm evening, and just don't want the fun to end, then head out to the Lucky Cat roof terrace for cocktails and entertainment until 3am.
Whilst the menus for this particular branch are yet to be revealed, if Mayfair’s offerings are anything to go off, diners are in for a real treat. Snacks for the table may include kyoto cucumbers with sesame dressing and baby squid in salt and vinegar, whilst maki is excellent for sushi lovers. Classics like california rolls and salmon and avocado pairings may make their way onto the menu, as may the umeboshi roll with shiso and cucumber.
GFC is the restaurant's version of crispy fried chicken, and is tossed in hot Korean miso and black sesame. For dumplings and bao, you can choose from the bonito fried duck leg and lobster siu mai with kimchi gel. Total showstoppers may include the butterfly sea bream with black vinegar and shiso, or the wagyu sirloin paired with mushroom and wasabi.
If you're not too full after a delicious meal, make sure. you order a few desserts. There's the black forest Lucky Cat, which is a real wow option, made with dark chocolate, umeboshi cherry and crème fraiche. There's also an apple treacle cake with tonka custard and vanilla ice cream, chocolate tofu in options of 35, 40 and 64%, coconut and mango mochi, and yuzu and passion fruit souffle with citrus curd.
