Hunan Restaurant

"At Hunan you don’t choose the menu, the menu chooses you. While that sounds a little like J.R.R Tolkien might be the restaurateur behind this place, it just means this is a no-menu Chinese restaurant. This Belgravia spot has a ‘trust us’ policy and the results are excellent. Deep-fried green beans, crispy pork, duck pancakes, and banana fritters with ice cream. It’s Cantonese food in a finishing school environment." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak

"At Hunan in Victoria, you don’t need to worry about anything because you won’t know what you’re getting until it arrives at the table. This old-school, classy Chinese restaurant operates a ‘trust us’ menu where you tell them your dietary requirements, preferred spice level, and, you know, that you hate coriander, and they’ll do the rest. The lunchtime menu is £69.80, while the evening menu will set you back £119.80. And there must be a minimum of two diners. But it’s worth it as we’ve never had a bad meal here. The crispy fried pork in a bag is especially joyful." - jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak

"Hunan is one of the ultimate ‘if you know, you know’ restaurants in London. The Chinese fine dining restaurant is discretely located on the Belgravia side, with a ‘trust me’ tasting menu situation. Just tell them what you don’t like and they’ll do the rest. We’ve tried incredible prawn toast and crispy duck here, along with spicy pork that arrives on your plate in a bag. It’s a great shout for lunch, but ask for the seats closest to the window as the back of the restaurant can feel a bit cramped." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak

"Remember that feeling when you were little and you didn’t know what your parents were going to make for dinner, but then it turned out to be your favourite thing, and you would be absolutely buzzing. Yeah, that’s kind of what going for dinner at this no-menu Chinese restaurant near Chelsea is like. It’s a somewhat plain and entirely inoffensive space, but Hunan isn’t a unique dining experience because of showiness. The special thing is that you don’t order here. Just tell them what you don’t and/or can’t eat, and then trust that they’ll bring you an excellent meal. Which is exactly what they’ll do. " - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing

"Once you get going, the food at Hunan - a no-menu Chinese restaurant in Belgravia - comes thick and fast, and whether you’re opting for the 12 or 18-course option, you can apply the EOTHO discount Monday to Wednesday throughout September." - oliver feldman, rianne shlebak
