The Drunken Monkey, a Chinese dim sum eatery, fills a huge gap in the London restaurant scene. Somehow the cuisine of 1.3 billion people has missed the London food revolution.

For those in the dark, dim sum is the collective term for a selection of small steamed or fried snacks, the Chinese equivalent of tapas. At Shoreditch-based Drunken Monkey the dim sum is delicious and reasonably priced. Dishes range from £2.50 -£3.50 and with a wide array of cocktails and beer. It's no surprise that three weeks from launch the Drunken Monkey is already going down a storm with the locals.

Just get there before the plebs find it.
