Restaurant
Xin Yuan Lou
A 1920s villa plays host to this Cantonese restaurant boasting plenty of old-world charm thanks to its period furniture, fireplace and Chinese artwork. It’s spread over two floors and includes a bar, a lounge, a tea room and several private rooms. The menu is mostly Cantonese with some Shanghainese dishes. Try marinated meats, roast goose, salt-baked chicken or char siu pork. Seasonal offerings, like the mushroom menu in autumn, need pre-ordering.
Michelin Selected (or "listed") restaurants receive recognition for solid performance but fall short of stars or Bib Gourmand, often noted for competence during travel.
