If it's true that fortune favors the brave, serendipity should look on Lucky Peaches. This is a casual but chic restaurant that takes risks, resulting in a rewarding experience for its customers. Instead of chasing the crowds in a tried-and-tested enclave, it has made its home in a low-key corner of a still blossoming complex, in order to nurture a soothing space with a precious view of gorgeous greenery outside. And by spurning a menu that's mired in worn-out cliches, Lucky Peaches places its bets on winningly thoughtful flavors that reveal a sense of care and a surplus of character.
This is a place where Pan-Asian influences are allied with a passion for produce, where knowledge and creativity bolster experience and proficiency. Take a table beside the bar or by the previous concrete wall that was painstakingly refurbished, then start with the sharing bites.
While much of Plaza Arkadia is becoming a beer haven, Lucky Peaches bucks that trend too, cultivating cool cocktails instead. As Annie Lennox's sultry voice glides out of the speakers, the bartenders here work hard at reinterpreting familiar classics, making Lucky Peaches our pick for a watering hole in this neighborhood.
Note that the restaurant is split into two levels; the upper floor is perfect for corporate events and private functions.
