Cafe China: Michelin-Starred Sichuan Chinese Food in Midtown
Experience 30s Shanghai “teahouse” dining at Midtown’s Cafe China. This Michelin-acclaimed Chinese art-deco restaurant “elegantly” dishes out authentic regional Sichuan cuisine in a “period” environment transporting diners to the “golden Era” of 1930s Shanghai.
Featuring cold, hot appetizers, dim sum and entrees. Here’s what you want to try:
- Tea Smoked Duck – Unlike Peking duck, this aromatically smoked duck retains a fatty layer of caramel skin with deep flavor so complex that you may even forego the accompanying sauce
- Ma Po Tofu – this Sichuan classic is a mouth-tingling affair,
- Braised Pork Sichuan Style with pickled mustard green shoots.
- Spicy Chengdu Wonton – wide flappy skin wontons in Sichuan peppercorn vinagrette.
- And for those leaning towards the more innovative dishes, try the julienned Jellyfish in scallion pesto.
