FROM FARM TO TABLE
At Shang Palace, Chef Tony Xu celebrates Chinese gastronomy by drawing inspiration from the seasons and collaborating with local producers committed to organic and regenerative farming.
Among them, the family-run Kaiping Farm in Normandy grows more than thirty varieties of vegetables, fruits, and herbs, using earth-friendly methods: manual weeding, crop rotation, drip irrigation, composting, and biodiversity promotion through hedgerows and beneficial insects.
These exceptional ingredients, carefully selected by Chef Xu, inspire refined creations where authenticity, quality, and sustainability come together.
DISCOVER THE TEA CEREMONY
Immerse yourself in authentic Chinese hospitality at Shang Palace. In China, tea is far more than a culinary tradition; it is a living expression of ancient heritage, celebrated through the Gong Fu Cha ceremony, which originated in southern China.
​
A ritual of precision and sharing, each movement in this ceremony preserves centuries of artistry, carried out with grace, elegance, and serenity. Central to the experience is a bespoke tea cart, a functional work of art that elevates every step of the ritual, from pouring water at the perfect temperature to the delicate infusion of tea leaves.
At the heart of this ceremony lies the Pu-erh cake, a rare, aged tea revered for its deep, earthy character and layered aromas that embody the richness of China’s tea culture.
EVENTS
Shang Palace offers two private dining rooms:
the Tang, which can accommodate up to 12 guests, and the Qing Ming, with a maximum capacity of 24 guests.
Our team is at your disposal to provide a tailored proposal.
