MiMi Mei Fair is a Chinese fine dining restaurant at 55 Curzon Street in Mayfair. Set within a Georgian townhouse imagined as the private residence of Empress MiMi, its intimate rooms combine Chinoiserie detail with the warmth of a carefully furnished home. The experience is designed for unhurried lunches, celebratory dinners and shared tasting menus rather than a quick meal.
The menu draws on Guangzhou, Shanghai, Beijing and the ancient Silk Road. Hand crafted dim sum can bring together vegetable fillings with truffle and preserved greens or seafood such as har gau, octopus siu mei and scallop. Wasabi prawns, Peking duck bao, crisp tofu and roasted char siu pork introduce contrasting textures before the larger dishes arrive.
Apple wood roasted Peking duck is a signature, carved for the table and served with pancakes and traditional accompaniments. Other meat dishes include Sichuan chicken with dried chilli, clay pot chicken with sweet basil and garlic, crisp mandarin beef with sour hawthorn berries and braised pork belly with soya sauce and bamboo shoots.
Seafood, aubergine with black bean, mala tofu, mushrooms and seasonal vegetables give the table several directions beyond duck and meat. Beef ho fan, Hakka noodles and olive fried rice complete a shared feast. Chinese inspired desserts, cocktails and a broad international wine list provide a polished finish, while set lunch, brunch and tasting formats offer different ways to explore the kitchen.
