Gouqi London

With a successful career developing Chinese cuisine at famed restaurants in Asia and then in London, Chef Chee Hwee Tong has returned to launch Gouqi, a new high-end restaurant in St James’s, London, opening February 2023 and is set to be one of the capital's most exciting openings for this year. Chef Tong achieved seven Michelin Stars across many countries but is significantly raising the bar with Gouqi. The new restaurant concept marks Chef Tong’s return to the London restaurant scene following his departure from International Restaurant Group, Hakkasan in 2019, after an 18 year tenure as Executive Head Chef. Under his leadership, Hakkasan Group became the global leader in contemporary Chinese cuisine, with Hakkasan, Yauatcha and HKK all winning Michelin stars. Gouqi will see Chef Tong continue developing and evolving his innovative contemporary Chinese cuisine, located at 25-34 Cockspur St, opposite the Canadian Embassy, Trafalgar Square. Using premium live produce sourced from around the globe, the menu offers an abundance of flavours, techniques, ingredients, and dishes drawn from across China.
