Memphis


All the many strands that make a contemporary restaurant appealing are here. There's sleek design, excellent lighting and music, and a creative menu. Try the Thai steak or the grilled-pear salad to start. Mains include grilled lamb chops with avocado-tomatillo-pomegranate salsa, and crispy Peking duck served with muddled blackberries.

The Sunday brunch – 15 or so egg variations prepared with international flair – is a madhouse, drawing hip and hot Memphis in droves. Reserve ahead; it books up weeks – not days – in advance.
