In a city brimming with culinary competition, few destinations strike the elusive balance of authenticity, artistry, and accolade. At Shangri-La Dubai, the Best of Asia is more than a promise—it’s a curated journey through the continent’s finest flavours.
A Tale of Two Icons: Michelin-Honoured Cantonese and Vietnam’s Culinary Soul
At the heart of Shangri-La Dubai’s culinary prestige is Shang Palace, proudly featured in the Michelin Guide Dubai 2025. Guided by Executive Chinese Chef Peter Lau and a team of culinary experts, this refined Cantonese restaurant celebrates the heritage and technique of Chinese regional cooking.
The new à la carte menu showcases bold and balanced dishes from across China—fiery notes from Sichuan, the refined elegance of Huaiyang, and the deeply savoury traditions of Lu (Shandong) cuisine. Signature plates include carved-to-order Peking Duck, exquisitely handcrafted dim sum, and wok-fried seafood prepared with precision and flair.
On Saturdays, Shang Palace hosts its renowned Dim Sum Brunch—a refined, all-you-can-eat experience with live cooking stations and artful presentations:
- AED 288 per person (inclusive of soft beverages)
- AED 388 per person (with house beer, wines, and spirits)
