Chamber 36 City Centre

Head down Berry Street towards the river and you'll find yourself in a place that feels genuinely upmarket without being precious about it. Chamber 36 does Cantonese done right: the kind of cooking that respects technique but doesn't hide behind pretension. You're looking at exceptional dim sum trolleys, properly cooked wok dishes with that char you can actually taste, and a wine list that someone's clearly thought about. The room itself is contemporary and unfussy—dark wood, clean lines, the sort of space where your food can be the main event. It's become a proper go-to for anyone in the city centre who knows their way around a menu.
