Opening doors to add a Midas touch to Gurgaon’s food and beverage space is the new entrant, Shanghigh. Inspired by the allure of Shanghai’s historic speakeasies, this culinary haven meets high-energy bar offers a sophisticated and contemporary take on the city’s vibrant culture.
The name ‘ShangHigh’ is a clever play on the words “Shanghai” and “high,” embodying the vibrant energy the space seeks to radiate. Serving comfort-oriented “Retro Chinese” cuisine, the meals here feel like a warm embrace of authentic flavors from old-world Shanghai, seamlessly intertwined with modern culinary innovation. Must-have dishes at Shanghigh include expertly crafted Chinese-forward dishes, a diverse sushi menu, and mixology inspired by Chinese folklore.
The cocktails at Shanghigh are nothing short of divine, offering a gastronomic experience like never before. Each drink is crafted using imported Chinese ingredients, bringing authentic flavors to life. The specially curated cocktail menu features creations such as “Age of Invention,” “Death of the Warlord,” “Mandate of Heaven,” and “The Great Emigration,” each steeped in the rich cultural heritage of Shanghai and accompanied by its own unique story. For instance, “The Age of Invention” draws inspiration from the groundbreaking inventions of the Song dynasty, while “The Mandate of Heaven” artfully blends aromatic gin with a homemade limoncello base, symbolizing the harmony between heaven and earth.
Shanghigh offers an indoor-only seating experience with a thoughtfully designed interior that sets the tone for an immersive dining journey. Its stunning 20-foot-high ceiling in the sunroom, red and crimson hues complemented by touches of black, and a hidden terrace area evoke the style of Shanghai’s historic speakeasies. This unique design immerses guests in the essence of old-world Shanghai while embracing modern elegance, making it an ideal venue for sundowners, private parties, and celebrations. With a seating capacity of over 200, Shanghigh provides an exclusive and luxurious setting for both intimate gatherings and larger events.
With its unique fusion of performance dining and immersive cocktail storytelling, Shanghigh is the perfect hub for food lovers, cocktail connoisseurs, and nightlife enthusiasts alike. Live performances elevate the vibrant atmosphere, where talented artists break into dynamic acts in the middle of the room, adding an element of surprise and excitement to the evenings.
