Similar to the art museum that it’s located in, Cafecopy is all chrome, glass and tiles with baffling artwork hung on the walls. This restaurant-museum delivers an atmosphere only art lovers will appreciate. The chicken breast salad with peanut sauce (RMB 32) was impeccably presented but the sauce was rather timid, leaving the dish a little bland. The toasted French bread with fresh coconut milk, mango, and shrimp was a refreshing combination, but the price tag (RMB 24) should have merited more than the portion offered. However, nothing disappointed us more than the duck breast with black pepper sauce (RMB 68). It was beautifully presented, and served on a bed of thinly sliced melon, but chewing through the tough meat felt like a lonely night at home listening to Barry Manilow and drinking non-alcoholic beer. Just like modern art, Cafecopy’s food left us rather confused. Simon Fowler
Verdict: Fine for a post-gallery coffee break, but no masterpieces here.
