About

Courtesan is a modern Dim Sum restaurant, tea rooms and late-night cocktail bar in the vibrant heart of Brixton. Known for the innovative and fresh approach of its Dim Sum menu and unique storytelling aesthetic, inspired by the legendary courtesans of Ancient China.

Dim Sum Dim Sum originated in the Imperial Court of China over 1500 years ago, where rare ingredients were combined with specialist cooking techniques to present harmonious yet exciting treats for the Emperors. Further through the centuries, Dim Sum was used to entice travellers and merchants to the tea houses along the silk trade route. Today the chefs at Courtesan honour the regal origins of Dim Sum in producing an innovative menu using modern ingredients from around the globe. All Courtesan’s Dim Sum is made in-house, with a focus on pure, MSG and preservative-free ingredients and offers extensive vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options. Female Wine and Spirit List Courtesan is the proud home to the world’s first true ‘female’ wine and spirit list, either produced or grown exclusively by women.

Definitely worth a visit for dim sum fans
I sometimes (often) feel very underwhelmed by dim sum served outside of Asia so didn't have high hopes for a restaurant in Brixton but I was pleasantly surprised. The soups in particular were very good and I enjoyed a few dumpling selections. In addition, there was a very nice desserts menu and I'd highly recommend the chocolate mango truffles. The service lacked a little but they did seem understaffed. Very much worth a visit for dim sum fans.
