Mei Ume

Mei Ume is a sophisticated Asian restaurant that allows you to explore Chinese and Japanese cuisines. The main kitchen serves elevated Chinese cooking, alongside the dedicated sushi bar. Focus on one cuisine or combine dishes from both for a pan-Asian feast. The restaurant is stylish and modern and has won awards for its design. Private dining spaces are separated from the restaurant by elegant bamboo screens.

A range of menus are on offer, each with familiar treats and adventurous options. On top of the main menu, for lunch you can choose a fixed menu including soup, starters, and a main dish like grilled salmon or sweet and sour pork. There’s also a lunchtime dim sum menu boasting classic and inventive options like xiao long bao and vegetable dumplings with black truffle.

There’s a broad choice on the main menu, including sushi and Chinese small bites, sashimi, and stir-fried dishes. If you’re ready to dive deep into the cuisine, choose the Mei Ume tasting menu. This decadent feast takes you through multiple courses including fresh sushi, tempura, Peking duck, and grilled sea bass. The flavours of both Japanese and Chinese cooking are expertly blended together to build a seamless pan-Asian experience.

Drinks from the bar can enhance the experience. The focus here is on Asian-inspired cocktails but there’s also a wide selection of sake, shochu, and whiskies from Japan. For wine connoisseurs, there are bottles from across the world. This is high-end cooking that feels exclusive.
