Situated in Suzhou, a UNESCO world heritage site west of Shanghai, the Thought for Food Market is a sprawling 2,300 sqm gastronomic adventure that was created as a destination for food lovers.

With the capacity to accommodate over 230 patrons, the Thought for Food Market offers an experiential dining space featuring diverse food and drink stations, including raw, braise, grill and smoked, steam, the oven, sauté and stir fry, the bakery, and a beverage bar.
