Lucy Wong, set in the Fitzrovia neighborhood of Central London, is a chic and sophisticated underground cocktail bar and Cantonese restaurant. And it’s perhaps no surprise that Lucy Wong is gaining so much traction so quickly. The restaurant presents the right amount of glam and opulence where diners may choose to dress up in cocktail dresses or suits and ties or decide upon the more smart casual route and relax among friends of drinks and great stories to be shared. During the warmer months, guests may choose to enjoy the hidden outdoor terrace.
The name of the restaurant, Lucy Wong, is a tribute to the 1957 novel The World of Suzie Wong written by Richard Mason. It is a beautifully written love story and time capsule of Hong Kong in the late-1950’s.
