31 St Thomas Street, SE1 9QU; shangri-la.com

Nearest Tube: London Bridge

WHAT'S THE DRAW: Meaning 'living room' in Chinese, TĪNG is Shangri-La at the Shard's resident modern European restaurant, with an Asian twist.

WHAT TO DRINK: You're obviously a high roller, so choose from the extensive champagne menu – and there are plenty of elegant still wines, too.

WHAT TO EAT: The SE Asian specialities are hard to beat – Hainanese rice (£19) and curry laksa (£19) are excellent. For something with a more European flavour, the John Dory (£26) with sweet potato, burnt butter and wild mushrooms is a top choice.
