Lonely Planet review

With crisp linen and a sharp colonial façade, this restaurant serves meals infinitely classier than most alternative fare around Xújiāhuì. You can spend a lot here, but the stewed chicken with chestnut and the house special smoked duck with a flavour of tea are reasonable. Despite the name, it actually used to be the St Ignatius Convent (there's a chapel upstairs). Reserve.

Not to worry, train buffs: outside are two period railway cars, one purportedly belonging to the Dragon Lady, Empress Dowager Cixi, herself.
