Both décor and cuisine have Chinese and international influences reflective of 1930’s Shanghai—affectionately known as “the Paris of the East.”
Salon De Ning’s two terraces include daybeds made from carved wood and indoors the black and red space is completed with art hanging upside down from the ceiling.
In keeping with the Chinese salon theme, Eastern-inspired cocktails like the Ning Sling (mandarin vodka, lychee liqueur, mint, and lychee and passion fruit juices) are served. Hungry? The abbreviated menu, also in keeping with the theme of the restaurant, offers dishes like tea-dusted shrimp and crab and avocado maki.
Salon De Ning only accepts reservations for parties of 15 or more.
