A brand new fine dining restaurant on the second floor of The St. Regis Shanghai Jingan, Bespoke offers a selection of well-curated degustation menus (five, eight, and twelve courses) and a la carte items, courtesy of Chef Cesar A. Perez de Anda.
Having previously worked at Michelin-starred restaurants like Copenhagen’s Noma and ASKA in New York, as well as Shanghai’s El Efante, the Mexico native’s dishes reflect his years of training in world-renowned kitchens, and the season in which the meals are served.
Upon arrival, guests are presented with separate welcome drink menus for the gentlemen and ladies, all prepared tableside with an Eau-de-Vie trolley. As for the food, the natural progression of Chef Cesar’s degustation menu is marked by the momentum in which the flavors and textures of each dish is cleverly built upon the previous, giving a clear trajectory of the flavorful journey from start to finish.
During our visit, standouts from the menu included a well-executed seared scallop dish served on top on sunchoke-spinach puree, finished with Brie foam and coffee crumble – a dish that showcases the chef’s techniques and creativity. The homerun number came right after, in the form of a piece of medium rare Uruguay ribeye, whose richness was intensified with an anchovy emulsion, Amarena cherries and onion ash.
These, however, are just a glimpse of what Chef Cesar is capable of, as he plans to change the menu once every two weeks to keep things fresh. We’ll keep our eyes peeled on his future creations.
