Ming Court (Shanghai) Shanghai

Ming Court is inside the Cordis Shanghai Hongqiao hotel, a twenty-minute walk from Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport. It holds a Michelin star.

The restaurant serves traditional Chinese cuisine, but its real utility lies in its geography. While most of the city’s notable dining rooms are sequestered in the crowded historic centre, Ming Court provides a smart and elegant alternative for the transit-bound traveller. It is quieter than its counterparts closer to The Hub and offers a controlled environment for serious meals, far from the frantic pace of downtown. Because it sits away from the main tourist corridors, the room has a composure that is increasingly rare in the city’s more accessible dining destinations.
