eat in, eat out  Barshu

When Shao Wei opened Soho's Barshu on Frith Street 15 years ago, it instantly caused a stir. A real trailblazer, the restaurant quickly became famous for its luxurious, authentic take on south-west Chinese dishes, with its menu firmly focussed on the fiery heat of the cuisine of Sichuan province.

Barshu was one of the first Sichuan restaurants in London to combine a critically acclaimed menu, featuring quality ingredients, with a beautiful contemporary interior.

To celebrate 15 years at the top, Barshu has had a full refit and has a brand-new menu. The latter still features many of its classic dishes, as well as new and intriguing plates from across other regions and cities of China, including Hunan, Shanghai and Canton. barshurestaurant.co.uk
