The Portman Ritz-Carlton's dowdy Tea Garden restaurant closed early in 2008 - but nobody quite expected the style, sophistication and modernity of its replacement, Tables. This classy restaurant is dressed with polished hardwood floors, large mirrors, purple and blue drapes, moody lighting and private alcoves. The open-kitchen buffet features a daily lunch and dinner selection of western dishes, carved meats, salads and a seafood bar, plus Shanghainese and pan-Chinese favorites. The weekend brunch offers free-flow champagne. Being a hotel, prices are not cheap - but for power diners and free-spending splurgers, this is a premium option.

Power Dining???

Posted by Maya Jouer on Sunday, July 12, 2009

Having been a long time diner on the SHanghai scene I was looking forward to see what the RC could do with t his space that previous Shangri-La and Peninsula properties could not. I have to admit I was pretty disappointed. Having gone there recently for the weekend brinch we were somewhat dismayed with the limited options of the buffet. Lunch was really the only offering and when we inquired about breakfast options for the "brunch" buffet we were told that we had missed the breakfast buffet. I suppose they may want to take the "br" out of brunch now. The restaurant is more stylish but you still have to fight your way to the dishes through the northern europeans. There are many more enjoyable, tasty, and stylish options out there for a true brunch experience in Shanghai. Consider this option only if stuck in Shanghai Centre or if you are looking to practice your German.
