The English prefix of the high house is actually the abbreviation of "The Upper Gallery", which means "high-end art gallery". Indeed, in the crowded city of Taikoo Li, the antique doors are like a partition, separating the hustle and bustle outside the door from the cleanliness of the store, and the artistic temperament is blowing in the face.
Positioned as an art gallery, it is naturally a delicate work of art. The simple and atmospheric tables and chairs, the well-defined bookshelves, the silver glittering tableware, the objects in the room as far as the eye can see express the elegant and concise artistic atmosphere, and the warning on the wall "Do not bring children under the age of 12 in" and "Do not photograph the indoor environment" can show the importance of the art in the store, and the overall environment has a solemn sense like an exhibition hall. The interior lighting of the high-rise mansion is quite dim, and in this ambiguous atmosphere, the privacy of the guests is fully guaranteed, and the style is elegant.
Compared with the environment, the cake production of the high house is slightly inferior. Cakes are only served at tea time or as desserts in this restaurant, and they are not as stylish and updated as a professional cake shop. There are not many highlights in the production, and it can only be ranked in the middle level in Chengdu, and the level is far inferior to the "rotten plums" that are also located in Taikoo Li and have a similar price. Mousse is the main style in the store, the small cylinder is placed on a large round plate, and the sense of ritual is in vain, but when you cut it, you find that there are not many surprises, and the combination of puree, cream and chocolate filling is stable, and several mousses use the same crust, which makes people feel that they are not creative.
If you're visiting for the first time, we recommend the chocolate-flavored cake. In 2017, he cooperated with Shanghai Bobolee to launch the same milk chocolate rum cake as the movie "Like You", the surface is shaped into a mirror with chocolate liquor, and there is a fondant flower, which is transformed into a mousse form in a high-rise mansion to be more suitable for one person.
As mentioned at the beginning, stepping into the high-rise mansion from the bustling Taikoo Li has the illusion of being in a different world, and the cold temperament comes not only from the decoration environment, but also from the attitude of the waiters. Not only is there a lack of reception at the entrance, but the attitude is also poor when serving, and I don't know if the surrounding environment suppresses the enthusiasm of the employees. This is a minus for a high-end restaurant located in a popular business district.
