About The Grand Shanghai Hotel
The Grand Shanghai Hotel sits at 21-23 Belmore Street in Burwood and takes its look from Shanghai's nightlife: pink and red neon, Chinese characters glowing across the walls, hanging lanterns, gold-lit bars and tiger-print lounge chairs. The building runs over three levels, each with its own character, and the venue lists every one of them as an event space. The ground floor bar suits a small group of around 15 for drinks. Level 1 is Tiger Bar, which offers a main area for up to 100 standing guests, a lounge area for 60 and a corner area for 40, so a party can take a section or the full floor. Level 2 is Fat Cat Restaurant, a dining room with timber tables and lantern-lit windows that seats 60 for a sit-down meal or holds 100 for a cocktail-style event. Between them the levels cover a casual drinks catch-up, a larger birthday on the bar floor and a seated dinner upstairs. The bar pours Shanghai-inspired cocktails alongside wine and beer, and Fat Cat's kitchen serves Chinese dishes for sharing. The ground floor and Tiger Bar trade from 10am until midnight Monday to Saturday and until 10pm on Sunday, while Fat Cat is open for lunch and dinner every day. Function packages and prices aren't published, so the team quotes each event after you send an enquiry with your date, numbers and preferred level.

We loved the food, service and atmosphere. Singapore Chilli Prawns were stand out dish. Only thing I would say that the lamb dumplings filling need more flavour. That’s all I would say.
