CANTON BLUE

LONDON, UK
PENINSULA.COM

Celebrating the convergence of Asian and British cultures, Canton Blue offers innovative Cantonese cuisine in a collection of exquisitely decorated spaces. The restaurant’s main dining room is inspired by a maritime passage from East to West. Numerous design elements take inspiration from the Keying junk, a trade ship that connected the two countries during the mid-19th century – including displays of Cantonese porcelain, and a magnificent backlit ceiling panel depicting a celestial navigation map. The low-lit tables and intimate private booths centre around a carved, dual-aspect fireplace, shared with an adjacent tea lounge. Two private dining rooms – The Silk Room and The Music Room – each celebrate a distinctive facet of Chinese culture. Throughout Canton Blue, the service, like the décor and cuisine, is refined and striking, with many dishes finished tableside.
