Authentic Dining
Helmed by Executive Chef Chuck Xing, the four innovative bars and restaurants at Alila Shanghai offer a wide variety of wellness-oriented culinary experiences, showcasing the local neighborhood through authentic native flavors.
The restaurants adhere to a ‘farm-to-table’ philosophy, providing fresh, seasonal, and sustainable local produce—organic where possible—while the accompanying wine lists feature selections from boutique vintners.
Each dining experience honors local food traditions, the people that make it possible, and the ability to ultimately deliver it to guests in a creative way all while keeping the regional legacy alive.
Alila Shanghai’s flagship Chinese restaurant, 500 Weihai Road, is led by Chef de Cuisine Scott Bao, formerly of the Michelin-recommended 28 Hubin Road at Grand Hyatt Hangzhou and a ONE Michelin-starred restaurant in Shanghai. Chef Bao and his team create plant-forward dishes from vegetables found in the hotel’s garden as well as modern Shanghainese cuisine with a focus on seafood.
Garden Pavilion is the hotel’s all-day dining space, built around a Japanese maple tree. At breakfast, instead of the usual buffet, guests can choose from curated sets featuring Chinese, Japanese, Western, or ‘healthy’ options, reducing food waste and encouraging mindful eating.
Comprised of a series of residential-style living spaces, Chayan @ 5th has been conceived as a sanctuary for slowing down and a gathering place for guests to connect with themselves and others. Here, guests can indulge in an exquisite afternoon tea that showcases Shanghai’s culinary heritage and celebrates the unique bounty of the region.
Secret Roof aims to be the premier destination in Shanghai for exceptional cocktails, stunning sundowner views, and an ambiance that is both sophisticated and welcoming. Flanked by open-air terraces, guests can enjoy striking views over the historical Zhangyuan rooftops. By day, the bar serves expertly brewed organic coffee and light snacks.
