About The Entry

Nanlu Huiguan, a renowned Michelin-starred restaurant, reemerged in March 2022 at a new location in Shanghai's vibrant International Financial Center mall.

Drawing inspiration from Hangzhou's tranquil beauty, the design of Nanlu Huiguan aims to create a space that evokes a sense of tranquility and humility. Guests are greeted by a soft yellow glow from a grand lantern-shaped entrance, casting an enchanting ambiance.

Nanlu Zheli, the predecessor to Nanlu Huiguan, first opened its doors on Shanghai's Julu Road twelve years ago. It later expanded to North Sichuan Road, where it earned a Michelin star for its authentic Hangzhou cuisine. The culinary team of Nanlu Huiguan carries on the tradition of high-quality ingredients and service, with chefs from renowned Hangzhou restaurants, Hubin 28 and Jie Xiang Lou.

The design concept of Nanlu Huiguan pays homage to Shanghai and Hangzhou's intertwined history. The design embraces the traditions and cultural context of both cities. The space is carefully crafted with elements of nature and folk art to create a serene atmosphere. Through thoughtful design, Nanlu Huiguan offers a journey back to collective memories and origins.

Differentiated scenarios within the restaurant create a fusion of natural beauty and daily life. The entrance features a grand lantern, creating a captivating visual focal point. Translucent resin plates, framed by copper strips, divide the space into intimate dining areas, reminiscent of microcosmic courtyards amidst mountains. Soft lighting and handmade brass details enhance the atmosphere, evoking a sense of blurred beauty and providing a unique sensory experience.

Nanlu Huiguan caters to people's needs through meticulous attention to detail. The selection of lantern size ensures optimal light transmission, while indoor lighting replicates natural light. The space incorporates rich textures, including bamboo, paper, wood, and artistic paint, creating a vibrant and immersive environment. Thoughtful furniture design enhances comfort and nostalgia, reminiscent of the past.

Situated in Shanghai, Nanlu Huiguan continues to uphold its rustic charm and sincere hospitality. The space preserves the memories and emotions associated with the region's cuisine. Nanlu Huiguan invites guests on a journey of rediscovering the essence of Hangzhou cuisine, creating an unforgettable dining experience.
