The restaurant is designed for Shanghai cuisine, which is traditionally known as Benbang cuisine. According to Wikipedia, Shanghai cuisine “takes color, aroma, and taste as its elements, and emphasizes, in particular, the use of seasonings, the quality of raw ingredients and original flavors.” Today, Shanghai cuisine represents the characteristic of Shanghai elites, that the top-grade foods are lightly cooked with natural materials.

Therefore, the interior design of a Shanghai cuisine restaurant should demonstrate the elegance and delicacy of this famous cuisine. The restaurant is located in an independent building, with glass and black steel walls and modern white walls to celebrate the tradition and modern sides of Shanghai cuisine. The furniture is selected to be made of black metal, covered in beige-colored leather, to highlight the elite side of Shanghai cuisine.
