Showcasing the local neighborhood through authentic native flavors.
Helmed by Executive Chef Chuck Xing, the four innovative bars and restaurants at Alila Shanghai offer a wide variety of wellness-oriented culinary experiences, showcasing the local neighborhood through authentic native flavors. The restaurants adhere to a ‘farm-to-table’ philosophy, providing fresh, seasonal, and sustainable local produce—organic where possible—while the accompanying wine lists feature selections from boutique vintners. Each dining experience honors local food traditions and the people who make them possible, all while keeping the regional legacy alive.
Serving dual functions, Secret Roof seamlessly transitions from a relaxed coffee and tea bar during the day to a vibrant cocktail bar in the evening. Embracing the heritage and the modernity of Shanghai, Secret Roof promises to be the city’s most coveted destination for craft cocktails, stunning sunset panoramas, and striking views over Zhangyuan’s historic rooftops. Boasting a striking crimson and burnt orange palette and an artfully arched ceiling, Secret Roof stands out against its surroundings with a vibrant energy and a boldly modern aesthetic. Guests are invited to experience Secret Roof’s signature cocktail, Shanghai Essence. A harmonious blend of Limoncello, coffee, and syrup infused with lemon thyme presented in a Martini glass, this unique concoction embodies the essence of Shanghai—a city where tradition meets elegance and modernity.
