Shang Palace

The Shangri-La Hotel's signature restaurant, Shang Palace specializes in Cantonese cooking, Hong Kong's signature cuisine. The food is very well prepared, and the choices are varied and include both traditional dishes and more contemporary preparations, so even folks accustomed to Westernized Chinese fare should be pleased. Old World décor in vivid red with accents of black and gold is punctuated with picturesque Chinese lanterns suspended from the ceiling. As in all of Shangri-La's hotels, the staff are endlessly efficient and appear to relish their role guiding diners along the road to a really superlative Cantonese meal. MTR: Tsim Sha Tsui.
