HUTONG

Hutong is where you go if you want to enjoy stunning views while pretending you're on a culinary adventure. Situated in The Shard, it’s all about the fancy decor and the Peking duck, which gets a bit of a round of applause for its table-side carving. But let's be real, the prices are sky-high – you’ll pay for that view and then some.

While the food is decent, it doesn’t quite match the extravagance of the setting. The service? Well, let’s just say it’s hit or miss. You might feel like you’re being upcharged for every little thing, and don’t even think about asking for a drink again—it’s like they want you to starve after your first order. If you’re after elegance and a view, Hutong can deliver, but don’t expect to be wowed by the food alone.
