Madame Fu is a restaurant with lounges, bars and private dining on the top floor of a former barrack block. There was some initial confusion about the existence of lifts to the restaurant. I was pointed in the vague direction and told “in the middle”. I ended up in a cargo lift and had to walk past the restaurant kitchen. It turns out there is a guest lift that I missed!
The restaurant interior was a pleasant surprise. It is cosy and breezy at the same time – no doubt due to the palm tree standing proudly in the middle of the room. Vivid artworks by Beijing abstract artists such as Mao Lizi, Yuan Zuo, Feng Lianghong and Li Di adorn the walls and seats were comfortable.
The menu and the décor of the restaurant is a nod to “Roaring 20’s” Shanghai with a whiff of the west in the desserts which feature sweets such as crème brûlée and chocolate cake.
