Hugely popular Yunnan restaurant Lost Heaven has opened its second location.

This one comes with a large terrace for art shows and a two-floor bar and club, also with a long, lavish balcony. Waltzing up from the restaurant on the second floor, it feels gloriously plush and over the top, but the owners have worked hard to get the details right, too, with not only Yunnan but also Tibetan, Burmese and Thai influences to the décor.

This mix, plus the abundance of open space, gives the place a spa-like vibe–if you ignore the construction sites that surround the building. The sound system is good. The drinks are well mixed (there are 28 signature cocktails) and reasonably priced (¥50 and up). But, whether the food downstairs can keep this place afloat remains to be seen. Owners have yet to throw any parties in the bar bit, and even at weekends it remains pretty empty.
