You've heard about the retractable roof (it's huge), 12 million pound
interior (the wrap around carved bar is impressive), and Pengelley's Pan- Asian cuisine (the menu has everything from sashimi to curry and, here, that's not a bad thing), but still never been.

You like opera, but not enough to pay the ROH's fees. Kill two birds with one stone and check out the Opulent Opera nights at Gilgamesh on Tuesdays.

You sit and dine (bag a semi-circle booth), while the talent walk around the room belting classics. Sounds cheesy, but it works. Seriously. WE love the urban setting (trains go by) and lobster dim sum. Yum.
