The Peninsula Shanghai is delighted to announce that its acclaimed Cantonese restaurant, Yi Long Court, has received a Michelin star in the 2026 Michelin Guide Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The honour marks the tenth consecutive year that Yi Long Court has received the Michelin star recognition as a mark of gastronomic excellence.
Renowned throughout the city and beyond for its exquisite Cantonese cuisine, Yi Long Court showcases the exceptional culinary skill of Executive Chinese Chef Jacky Zhang. Along with his team, Jacky’s menus are curated with traditional ingredients, flavours, and Cantonese cooking techniques elevated with his own distinctive interpretation.
Signature dishes at Yi Long Court include Blanched Spotted Grouper, featuring a succulent grouper fillet blanched in a fragrant fish broth, and accompanied by a medley of seasonal wild mushrooms; Simmered Boston Lobster In Supreme Broth, which presents tender, sweet lobster braised in a rich broth with crispy golden rice; and Crispy Pigeon Leg, which features delicate, crisp-skinned pigeon leg stuffed with deeply flavourful air-dried abalone. These specialties, along with many others on Yi Long Court’s menu, embody Chef Jacky’s refined interpretation of classic Cantonese preparations.
Dining at Yi Long Court is also a testament to The Peninsula Shanghai’s commitment to offering extraordinary and immersive guest experiences. The restaurant’s interior design draws inspiration from the grand residences of prominent merchants and industrialists in 1930s Shanghai, surrounding diners in an atmosphere of glamourous style as well as august cultural heritage.
This latest Michelin award once again recognizes the exceptional talent and dedication of the hotel’s culinary and service teams. The Peninsula Shanghai looks forward to continually raising the bar of excellence, both at Yi Long Court and across its offerings, for our guests.
