We sat down with Jeremy Harris, Executive Chef at the Renaissance Zhongshan Park Hotel's Azur restaurant to get the scoop on his updated lunch menu.

We hear you have a new menu.
It’s not so much a new menu as it is a re-launch of our lunch option. We’re a Mediterranean restaurant and our salad lunch has always been popular, so we wanted to create a new, healthy salad bar with a focus on freshness and the use of locally-grown organic ingredients where possible. We’ve also changed our hot foods menu to suit the new salad option and cut out anything heavy like fried foods to keep the whole meal light, healthy, and fresh. The salad bar (¥80) puts everything in front of you, in small, fresh portions–the experience is very interactive and quick.

What’s left on the hot food menu?
Nothing fried, everything light to complement the salad. We have soups, grilled meats and pizza.

So the theme of the new menu is healthy eating?
It’s Mediterranean healthy eating with a focus on freshness. We have 88 ingredients (we tweaked the menu to get it to 88 because it’s lucky) so every time you come, you can have a different dining experience.
