Lanterns Restaurant

Walk into Lanterns and you'll immediately get why locals keep coming back. The room has that warm, unpretentious feel you want from a neighbourhood restaurant—no faffing about with minimalist aesthetics or Instagram-baiting plating here. You're getting serious Cantonese and Sichuan cooking that respects its ingredients, whether that's their dim sum trolley doing the rounds or the sort of duck that tastes like they actually knew what they were doing. The service strikes that sweet spot between attentive and relaxed, and the wine list won't bankrupt you.
