報導指出,倫敦的鼎泰豐是該品牌在歐洲的第一家分店所在地,由臺灣鼎泰豐和新加坡餐飲企業麪包新語」(BreadTalk)合資。麪包新語創辦人郭明忠表示,英國有開設20家分店的潛能。鼎泰豐5日爲這家分店舉行開幕儀式,前英國外相強生(Boris Johnson)到場體驗自制招牌的18褶小籠包。

這間位於柯芬園的分店是地上一層、地下一層的兩層結構,可容納約250名顧客,也設置了透明櫥窗廚房。據Eater London 報導,鼎泰豐去年就計劃在倫敦託登罕宮路(Tottenham Court Road)上的中間點大樓(Centre Point)開設另一家分店。這棟34層樓的大樓將規劃新的餐飲空間,鼎泰豐可能會成爲其中一個商家實際開幕的日期還未公開。
