Shanghai
Along with its painstakingly decorated Asiatic interior, Shanghai offers typical traditional Chinese dishes, but with a decidedly modern touch of creativity. Amongst the chef’s recommendations are the crumbed courgette flower with sweet and sour sauce, and prawn tails wrapped in pasta. The restaurant has an extensive wine menu containing nearly 400 references.
