Dash Restaurant & Bar

You don’t just walk up the steps to this glam go-to in the city centre, all glitzy chandeliers and luxe booths, you sashay. Your entrance must be as impeccable as the fusion-style food – from sushi and sizzling steaks through to sensational sweets like Pornstar Martini Cheesecake.

The kitchens at Dash carefully source the finest, freshest ingredients to create a unique selection of Asian-inspired dishes and modern international twists on favourites, such as red Thai chicken supreme, miso blackened cod and 100% Wagyu brioche burger. Small plates include crispy pork and kimchi gyoza dumplings, tempura king prawns and homemade confit duck spring rolls. There are various bao buns, such as Korean beef and soy-glazed shitake mushrooms, and poke bowls include teriyaki salmon and a vegan tom yum curried pumpkin dish. Afternoon teas at Dash are quite the piece of theatre, as you’d expect, with the savoury selection including the likes of lobster roll and the sweet treats offering up cherry blossom-infused choux buns alongside the seasonal macarons and artisan scones. The Sunday roast menu, meanwhile, has – with all the trimmings, including Yorkshire pud and homemade gravy – a choice of Robata-grilled cauliflower and squash, lamb rump, chicken supreme and roasted beef striploin.

Don’t forget to check out the range of New York-style show-stopping cocktails, including Downtown Daiquiri and the Drinks In Central Park sharer for two. “Whatever your taste,” it’s promised, “you will always be blown away when drinking at Dash.”
