Blu Lobster (Lan Yun Xi Can Ting)

First floor of Shangri-La Hotel Cuisines: European, Continental

About

Named for the extremely rare lobsters with natural blue shells, this Shangri-La showcase restaurant is headed by the Irish-born executive chef Brian McKenna, who brings a whimsical, inventive touch to his dishes. He's one of the first chefs in Beijing to play with foam, foie gras, and lobster so well. The tasting menus, with a choice of 6 or 10 courses or 5 courses focusing on foie gras, are the best way to experience the restaurant, done up with sophistication in shades of -- you guessed it -- blue. McKenna has a special affection for dessert, so save room because he often packs in two, or even three, courses of sweets at the end of an indulgent meal.
