Ka Pao
A Bib Gourmand restaurant located in a basement of a former 1900s garage next to the Botanic Gardens, offering lively and affordable Southeast Asian sharing plates.
Located in the basement of a former 1900s garage near the Botanic Gardens, Ka Pao is the sister restaurant to Ox and Finch and continues to hold its Michelin Bib Gourmand recommendation in 2026. The Southeast Asian-style small plates are perfect for sharing, with signatures like coconut-chilli corn ribs, fish sauce caramel fried chicken, and beef tartare offering a lively mix of sweet and spicy flavors. Small bites are around £4–12, most dishes are £10–20, and a weekday lunch menu is available for £21. Reservations can be made for up to 20 people, but some tables are kept for walk-ins, with an online queuing system available.
