Some of the side dishes also suffered. The name Chinois , which means Chinese in French, hints that this restaurant is no ordinary Asian establishment, but is a temple of haute cuisine. Cantonese and Hong Kong style dishes with American and French touches are featured here. There is a complete sushi menu and several Japanese beers and sakes to accompany them. Not too many restaurants serving Chinese food can produce admirable sushi and sashimi, but at Chinois the raw fish is pristine and beautifully presented.
All desserts incorporate the flavors of fresh fruit.
The passion fruit cheesecake with candied tangerines gets star billing. Moderately expensive . Dining in Venice under the open sky is a memorable experience. Dining at Postrio in The Venetian's St Mark's Square at the Grand Canal Shoppes is just as unforgettable. When you sit on the patio and look up it is almost impossible to believe that you are inside.
