Shanghai Bistro: Serving business with style

Shanghai Bistro, the restaurant of choice for connoisseurs of authentic Shanghai cuisine, enhances its recipe for success by merging its flair for food with stylish and well-appointed function rooms that is the perfect venue for seminars and corporate events.

The first successful salvo of Asia Finest Cuisine Inc., Shanghai Bistro borrows inspiration from the delicate and traditional teahouse theme prevalent in Shanghai and Hong Kong to create a unique ambiance and atmosphere that fits superbly with dining or business functions.

"In creating Shanghai Bistro, we wanted not only a restaurant that would reflect the best of Chinese cuisine, but also one that offers the richness and style of Chinese culture," stated Elizabeth De Jesus, chief operating officer of Shanghai Bistro.

De Jesus explained that this vision guided them in designing Shanghai Bistro’s unique design, which features stylish wooden frames, detailed sculptures and art pieces that lends the restaurant its authentic Chinese flair.

Shanghai Bistro’s attention to detail also extends to its lavish function rooms that enhances its ambiance with state-of-the-art amenities, such as a PA system, LCD projector, widescreen, white board, podium and videoke systems essential for seminars and conferences.

The design of the function rooms also took account the space requirements for successful business meetings, social gatherings, seminars and other corporate functions, as well as birthday and baptismal parties.

In Shanghai Bistro-Eastwood, a wide array of function rooms are available to cater to groups numbering from 8-10 people to as many as parties of 150. Among the smaller function rooms that’s perfect for small business meetings are the Pudong Room for 8-10 people, the Nan Jing for 10-12 heads, the Jin Mao Room for 10-12 people. For larger groups, the Oriental Pearl can easily accommodate up to 50 heads, and can be expanded with the 2nd floor dining area to accommodate 100 people. The 2nd floor function rooms are also designed to provide a spacious venue for 150 people.

In Shanghai Bistro-Paseo, the Suzhou room can easily accommodate parties of 40, while the Hangzhou room provides ample space for 70 people. Both rooms can also be combined to create a venue for 120 people.

De Jesus also revealed that the rates for Shanghai Bistro’s function areas are affordable, with the smaller rooms available for P3,500 consumable. Rooms accommodating 40 persons and up are set at banquet menu rate. All day seminar packages are offered at P550 to P660 per head, inclusive of two snacks and lunch.

"Every private function is served with Shanghai Bistro’s authentic flair, highlighted with a banquet selection served with the rich and meticulous culinary expertise of a team of award-winning Hong Kong chefs imported from China," stated De Jesus. "Among the favorite selections are the luscious Siao Lung Pao, the delicious Drunken Chicken, the mouth-watering Pan-fried Beef Tenderloin "Chinese Style" and the exquisite Chef’s Milkfish Masterpiece," De Jesus added.
