Our verdict
Lygon Street might be best known for Italian dining, but Lagoon Dining broadens the scope with flavour-packed dishes that draw on China, Malaysia and Japan. Think hot-and-sour shredded potato batons, juicy char siu pork, or beef tartare flavoured with laksa leaf and sambal vinaigrette. With sharp cocktails, a thoughtful wine list and warm service, it’s a welcome alternative to the street’s historical hegemony.
