The Restaurant at The Peninsula Shanghai

"The pick of the hotel's five restaurants is Yi Long Court, serving classic Cantonese cuisine in a luxurious chocolate and dark-blue Shanghai Deco dining room with Qing dynasty furnishings"

"The city’s other culinary standouts include the newly opened Da Dong Duck Restaurant, a branch of the revered Beijing roast-duck institution, where you can ignore the 150-page menu and order the signature dish"

"one of Shanghai's finest hotels, offering superlative luxury and fabulous views of the river and Pudong skyline from its rooms, restaurants, bars, and most notably from the extensive open-air terrace of Sir Elly's Bar & Restaurant"

"The Peninsula Spa by Espa offers Oriental, Ayurvedic and European therapy techniques, while a handful of eclectic restaurants, including the Rooftop, cater to foodies"

"Other dining and drinking options include Yi Long Court, a traditional Cantonese restaurant; Sir Elly's, which serves stunning modern European cuisine (we gave it a five-star rating when it opened), and Salon de Ning, an underground nightclub/bar"

"While the high-tech rooms are a standout, so are the Five-Star hotel’s restaurants: Sleek Sir Elly’s is one of the best fine-dining spots in the city, and the traditional Yi Long Court serves excellent Cantonese fare"

"The hotel boasts five fantastic dining venues, like the notable Sir Elly's Restaurant, as well as a high-end shopping arcade featuring a selection of designer brands"

"  Of course, this being a Peninsula, the heart of the hotel is in the lobby, where the restaurant has a constant flow of guests enjoying the great British tradition of afternoon tea, but if you’d like some peace and quiet, a private cruise along the Haungpu in the hotel’s personal yacht is a treat, or simply head back to your room  and indulge in the sumptuousness and the views"

"In summer, the restaurant's vast outdoor terrace is a popular alfresco dining spot"
