The Penthouse

The Penthouse is one of Shenzhen’s best-kept secrets. This tastefully decorated French restaurant consists of a dining area, wine cellar, private rooms, roof-top terrace and a wine bar. Its top floor position in Shenzhen’s commercial centre means there are excellent views of the city. Thankfully, the food and service live up to the expectations generated by the setting. Needless to say, it’s not cheap but not quite as expensive as other Western restaurants of this class in Shenzhen. 

The Penthouse is in Fountain-Signature Suites (serviced apartments) on Shennan East Road about a ten-minute walk from the intersection with Dongmen Road and opposite Leyuan Road. Both Guo Mao and Lao Jie Metro stations are the nearest. From the former head north and from the latter head south to Shennan Middle Road. From there, head east. It will take about twenty minutes to get there from either. Bus nos. 2, 29 and 205 stop near it.
