Opening in May, Chifa is the latest venture from Pirata Restaurant Group. With the likes of Pirata, Pici and Tokyolima (to name just a few!) already under its belt, we’re sure that the upcoming venture is going to be a hit with the city’s foodie crowd! Set to serve a unique combination of Peruvian and Chinese cuisine, Chifa will specialise in all things dumplings, with wrapped dumplings and soft, fluffy bao forming the heart of the menu, along with the likes of traditional chifa noodles, rice, meat and seafood dishes.

Taking the top spot in the new Central landmark, ECRITURE boasts city-wide views and a chic and minimal decor.
