This restaurant has remained a dependable address for classic Cantonese cooking for more than three decades, with lavish ingredients and a dining room designed for occasions

This Chinese restaurant still carries the stately mood of a traditional banquet hall. Located inside Island Shangri-La Hong Kong, the interior offers a high ceiling gleaming with gold accents, alongside carved doors framing the dining room. Highlights from the menu include shared dishes such as the deeply savoury stewed pork brisket with preserved vegetables. The roast whole Peking duck remains a centrepiece, carved and served in the familiar rhythm of crisp skin, pancakes and accompaniments. Seafood is equally prominent, particularly the classic stir-fried fresh lobster dish, which lands on the table fragrant with ginger and scallion. Meals here feel celebratory by nature: large tables, many plates and the easy conviviality that Cantonese banquet cooking encourages.

Tatler Tip

If the menu feels daunting, opt for one of the tasting or celebration set menus, where the kitchen selects a progression of signature dishes, with optional wine pairings available.
