The Last Talisman

An object that is considered to have supernatural powers, talismans have carved themselves a prominent place in legends and stories all over the world. The Last Talisman has similar powers and has cast its spell over London Bridge.

A cocktail bar, Asian restaurant, party destination and social hub all in one, The Last Talisman certainly has its fingers in many pies. And it's not hard to see why; it simply exudes that oriental mystique. Immerse yourself in a world of enchantment as you are serenaded by their charming mezzanine structure that overlooks hand-painted cranes, red paper lanterns and a delicious range of textures. Striking in every possible way, reds are juxtaposed with jet black furniture, buttery leathery meets urban metal pipes and the confounded magnificence of Asian legends meets familiarity in cosy lamps, cabinets and homey accessories.

The menu is just as versatile and surprising as the venue. The starters bring all the main-character energy of the main course but dial it down when it comes to portion sizes. Who would have thought that you could enjoy succulent pork belly atop cold soba noodles or tuna tataki for starters, and not overwhelm the appetite?

Only The Last Talisman can attempt such an impossible feat and come out triumphant. Mains dial it up a notch with a really special spatchcock with pickled beansprouts, miso cod with a stunning pineapple pickle, and a vegetarian green curry that's packed with fresh vegetables and hand-picked spices. So, will The Last Talisman cast its spell over you too?
