Experience sophisticated fine dining in an Oriental Heaven.
Shanghai Blues is situated at 193-197 High Holborn in the Grade II listed Holborn Hall. Once housed the St Giles library, within easy walking distance from popular Convent Garden and buzzy Soho. Sophisticated, fashionable yet discreet, Shanghai Blues restaurant & bar is the ideal venue for an important lunch meeting, tranquil afternoon tea or fun-filled dinner Party.
Split into five distinct areas, the feelings of space and luxury is palpable throughout the venue: the bar is perfect for a pre-dinner drink while the mezzanine lounge is ideal for cocktails and canapés; the 'Silk' dining room invites diners for an opulent meal, whilst the 'Tea' dining room is great for smaller gatherings. The private dining room welcomes those guests who prefer privacy.
