BAO

BAO Soho serves Taiwanese food in Soho and has held a Michelin Bib Gourmand for eight years running. The setting draws on Taiwanese Xiao Chi houses, giving it an intimate feel, and the menu ranges from traditional noodle dishes to seaweed treats.

A few dishes stand out. The Beef Rump is aged between 40 and 50 days, and there are Hand-dived Scallops from Cornwall that bring in a coastal note. The Chi Shang Rice underpins the menu and comes from Taiwan's well-known rice-growing region. The attention to where each ingredient comes from is part of what makes BAO worth a visit.
