Overview

Like its home, The PuLi Hotel and Spa, Jing’An exudes a cool, calm vibe. Dark wood fills the dining room — from the walls and ribbed wood ceiling to the bare tabletops — and chocolate-brown padded chairs and gold throw pillows add more warmth. But pops of white walls and big-picture windows overlooking the bamboo-stalk-lined terrace and Jing’an Park beyond lighten it up. What also lightens it up is executive chef Dane Clouston’s contemporary Western cuisine. He uses classic flavors and a plate presentation that is just as alluring as the restaurant’s décor.
