The Courtesan is a genuinely surprising and elegant establishment in the heart of Brixton's bustling foodie scene as well as one of the best places to eat dim sum in London. Renowned for its innovative and fresh take on pocket-filled goodies as well as its unique storytelling aesthetic inspired by the legendary courtesans of ancient China, this establishment is led by Fengjuan Xue, one of the few female dim sum head chefs. Both calming and buzzing, The Courtesan treats customers with assorted small plates, unusual teas and speciality cocktails. All of its treats are whipped up in-house and include delights like the Magical Mushroom Bags, XO chicken cress dumplings, and Curious Pumpkin Buns.
