The Merchants

The Merchants celebrates the rich culinary legacy of Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang with a dash of modern flair. Towering above Central, the restaurant’s Belle Époque-inspired interiors frame sweeping harbour views. Chef Chen Tian Long reimagines traditional classics — think jasmine tea-smoked duck, Jinhua ham, and Shanghainese dim sum — using seasonal ingredients and refined techniques. It’s where timeless Chinese hospitality meets city luxury, and every meal is a contemporary love letter to old Shanghai.
