The Lotus Chinese Floating Restaurant

The Far East meets the East End at Lotus – a Chinese restaurant on a boat moored in Millwall Dock. The outside is jauntily illuminated at night, while inside the dining room is a riot of gold & red. The epic menu covers Canton, Szechuan & Peking classics at rock-bottom prices. The lunchtime buffet, which pulls in hungry office workers, is a steal at £11, while the huge range of dim sum served until 5pm keeps Lotus busy during the rest of the day. The predominately French wine list holds no major surprises & is keenly priced, while spirits & beer are also on offer.
