The popular pick for its opulent, seasonality-driven menu and superlative Peking duck

 

An elegant bonsai-filled space with impeccable lighting, sumptuously subdued for a Chinese venue, sets the scene for a meal at Xin Rong Ji. The Michelin-starred restaurant from Shanghai serves lip-smackingly sublime versions of toothsome Taizhou cuisine, with quality ingredients sourced from their own farms. Seafood from China’s east coast is the focus, but their formidably refined Peking duck carved tableside is not to be ignored. Crisp, paper-thin skin is presented with individual servings of steamed wrappers and condiments. Polished, personalised service is restrained yet agreeably attentive.

Tatler Tip

It’s a succinct menu but do ask for specials. The popularity of the Peking duck dictates seatings, so ordering the celebrated dish will require following a set time for reservations.
