Kathleen's 5
Located on the top floor of the Shanghai An Gallery. Katheleen's 5 resembles nothing so much as a huge glass box. Designed to maximize the use of the building's existing features and contours, its open aspect allows for a stunning view of the sky.
The simpliciry of the European menu should make the first-time would-be Western diner feel confident in their ordering capability. Of the dishes on offer, the chilled gazpacho, a mix of stirred mushrooms and olive added cream, tastes particularly savory, and delicious. Another popular appetizer is the roast salmon salad, accompanied five kinds of fruit and a vinaigrette dressing. The fresh fruits are a natural balance to the rich salmon, and the dressing enriches the whole dish, giving a perfect combination of sweet-sour fruits and salty-sour vinegar. One main course option is the rocket salad and herb gfissini. Made of a fetching combination of tomato juice, cheese and sesanle leaves and presented in an unusual pie formation, the meal is a good choice for novice knife and fork users.
"Limited but lofty" best describes Kathleen's wine list with its scant selection of quality wines from both the new and old worlds?In addition, there is a good variety of martinis, aperitifs, whisky, vodka, and rum on offer.
The waiters are considerate and fluent in English. They know the menu by heart and are eminently qualified to enhance an evening of dining enjoyment for guests.
PRICE?RMB 400—500 per head for dinner.
