Murger Han, Mayfair
Bin Li is the head chef behind London’s first authentic Xi’an restaurants, introducing diners to his favourite dishes from home. His Mayfair restaurant, with its open kitchen and cute décor, is a friendly local spot to try his signature dish, the Murger. This is the Chinese equivalent of a burger made with pan-baked flatbread filled with spiced pork belly, beef or roast duck. There’s a vegan version, too. It’s a delightfully cosy lunch or evening venue, and compared to some neighbouring restaurants, Murger Han, Mayfair won’t break the bank.
