The story
Le Siècle, meaning "The Century," is the fine-dining European restaurant within the Yihe Mansions in Nanjing. Situated in the Gulou district on Jiangsu Road, this is the flagship dining experience of the Yihe Resorts collection, a group that also operates celebrated Chinese restaurants and boutique hotels across several historic properties.
The restaurant is recognized with a Michelin Recommended award for 2026, a nod to its refined approach to European contemporary cuisine in a setting that blends early 20th-century Republican-era architecture with modern luxury. The Yihe Mansions themselves are a heritage complex, and Le Siècle occupies a space designed to complement that restrained elegance.
The menu focuses on European contemporary dishes, drawing on classical French techniques while incorporating local seasonal ingredients. Diners can expect a tasting menu that evolves with the seasons, though specific dishes are not detailed in the available materials. The atmosphere is formal but unhurried, with white tablecloths and attentive service that reflects the property’s Relais & Châteaux affiliation.
Le Siècle is part of a broader Yihe dining portfolio that includes the Chinese restaurant Wanguochun and the noodle bar Nanjing Yiwan Mian, but it stands apart as the property’s destination for Western gastronomy. The restaurant is fully air-conditioned, offers parking, and is wheelchair accessible.
