China Grill Management burst into the global culinary scene with several critically-acclaimed dining spots around the world and Asia de Cuba lives up to the group's reputation as a favourite eating out spot for London's glitterati. The restaurant's classy design includes soaring art columns and moody lighting, and the Rum Bar is a quirky twist to the classic English pub.

The cuisine can be slightly intriguing, think flavours of tropical fruits and vegetables and Latin spices cooked the Asian way, and Cuban cookery infused with tastes from the Far East. Strange it may sound, but wait till you take the first bite of crab croquetas with jicama, mango, green apple and mirin infused slaw, roasted red pepper remoulade and chilli ponzu dipping sauce. Next it could be a flavoursome combination of honey-rhum glazed pot roast of pork, Shanghai bok choy, fried plantains and enoki mushrooms, or Wagyu char sui beef short ribs, congre tostones and chilli orange mojo. Side orders include the delicious lobster boniato mash and panko crusted crispy plantain.
