Le Platane in Shanghai launches Gourmet Corporate Luncheon

World-renowned Singaporean chef Justin Quek is enticing Shanghai's movers and shakers with a classy alternative to the city's conference rooms: a Corporate Luncheon in Le Platane's opulent private dining rooms with a tailor-made menu and the opportunity to watch Justin himself cook.

The entire 65-seat second floor dining room of Justin's signature French restaurant Le Platane in Xintiandi can be reserved for morning and afternoon business conferences and corporate events. The area can also be divided into distinctive areas for smaller groups. Two opulent private dining rooms - 'Truffle' and 'Caviar' - seats 12 diners each and offer numerous configurations for different functions. The 'Caviar' room also comes with a private powder room, and sliding doors that open to reveal a window to the show kitchen hung with copper pots, Molteni kitchen range and a microphone link-up so Chef Justin can communicate with diners as he prepares their lunch. There is a separate private street entrance to this room for those who value their privacy, and Le Platane's customary exquisite service begins from the moment diners arrive.

Justin provides tailor-made menus and goes through every aspect of the event with clients to ensure nothing is left to chance. Audio-visual equipment is also available for presentations. The Corporate Luncheon combines a professional environment with discreet service and an unmissable culinary experience for Shanghai's top business people, with prices starting at RMB 500 per person for a minimum of ten people. Justin also offers a Western-style dining etiquette course designed for Chinese companies.

Justin is recognised as one of Asia's foremost interpreters of fine French cuisine. His classical French techniques, paired with innate Asian tastes and sensibilities, have quickly established him as a gastronomic tour de force. Justin has brought an added dimension to the city's sophisticated culinary scene with his trio of exciting new dining destinations in Xintiandi - Le Platane, Villa du Lac and Fountain.

His signature restaurant Le Platane presents two distinct European-style dining experiences on different floors of a heritage villa in Xintiandi. 

Depending on the size and style of the occasion, guests can choose from the casually elegant 70-seat Brasserie and Bar on the first floor offering high quality comfort food in a warm, relaxed setting. Upstairs, the more formal area of Le Platane blends Chinoisserie and French whimsy and lavishes the full fine dining experience with a signature six-course degustation menu with wine pairings. Whatever the setting, a Corporate Luncheon at Le Platane offers a serene ambience, flawless service and gourmet 'wow' factor that is guaranteed to impress.
