Gouqi: A Culinary Jewel in the Heart of London

Nestled just off Trafalgar Square at 25–34 Cockspur Street, Gouqi stands as a testament to refined Chinese gastronomy. Helmed by the illustrious Chef Tong Chee Hwee—formerly of the Michelin-starred Hakkasan Group—this elegant establishment marries tradition with innovation, offering an unparalleled dining experience in the heart of London.

Exquisite Culinary Offerings

Gouqi’s menu is a harmonious blend of classic Chinese flavors and contemporary flair. Signature dishes include the renowned Peking duck adorned with Oscietra caviar, meticulously carved tableside, and the Supreme Royal Dim Sum Platter, featuring an array of delicacies such as black truffle, XO king crab, and gold leaf-topped beancurd dumplings. Seafood enthusiasts will delight in selections like Norwegian king crab and Scottish lobster, while meat lovers can savor offerings like slow-cooked A4 Wagyu and honey-glazed Iberico char siu with salted egg yolk.

Ambience & Design

The interior of Gouqi exudes sophistication, with low lighting, bespoke chinaware, and artworks from acclaimed Chinese artists. Floral arrangements by Botanique Workshop add a touch of elegance, creating a serene atmosphere that complements the culinary journey.

Berri Bar & Beverage Selection

Adjacent to the main dining area, the Berri Bar offers an impressive array of cocktails inspired by Chinese mythology. Standouts include the “Shishi” martini, blending Roku gin with Szechuan pepper and peach, and the “Jade Rabbit,” a refreshing mix of ABA pisco, agave, and Thai basil. For tea connoisseurs, Gouqi presents rare selections like the Emperor’s Golden Eyebrow, produced in limited quantities annually.
