Set on the 13th floor of the Five-Star The Peninsula Shanghai, Sir Elly’s Restaurant combines a 1920s luxe art deco interior with a magnificent Bund view and fine modern French-Asian cuisine. You will be treated to an elegant and stylish meal from illustrious team, chef de cuisine Hans Zahner and executive pastry chef Lucien Gautier. The main menu fuses Old World techniques with Asian flavors. Highlights on the rotating menu include truffle-stuffed, smoked frog leg with black garlic cream; Irish blue lobster carpaccio with red pepper sorbet and coconut crisps; and roasted Australian wagyu beef tenderloin with confit tomato and vegetables. For dessert, sample the light and creative sweets and end the meal in style.
If the weather proves pleasing, make sure to take your meal on the outside terrace. The 13th-floor location combined with floor-to-ceiling windows offers you sweeping views of the skyscrapers of the Pudong district and the historic buildings that line the Bund. The view proves stunning and there's no better place in Shanghai to enjoy a drink and gaze at the lights of this city.

Things to Know
- Your table comes with multiple servers. Don't be alarmed if one person takes your order, another offers you thoughts on the wine list, and a third person brings dessert. Just sit back and enjoy being pampered.
- The menu changes often. Sure, your friends can recommend their favorite dishes, but don't be surprised if you can't find them on the menu when you arrive.
- The six private dining rooms at Sir Elly’s Restaurant are spread out over two levels and offer parties of six to 10 people seclusion in sophisticated surroundings. All of the VIP rooms have expansive views of the Shanghai skyline, but the rooms named Lady Laura’s and Sir Horace’s have the best views and most sumptuous décor.
- When seated at one of the tables hugging the floor-to-ceiling windows, be sure to keep an eye peeled for the changing digital façade of the Citigroup Tower building, which periodically flashes an “I ♥ SH” sign that is picture-worthy.
