Nestled within the enchanting Chimelong Ocean Kingdom in Zhuhai’s Hengqin Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone, the Castle Restaurant (officially known as Ocean Kingdom Castle Restaurant) is a culinary journey through a storybook realm. Designed to evoke the grandeur of a European fairytale castle, this signature dining venue offers an immersive experience where architecture, service, and cuisine converge to transport guests into a world of magic and wonder.

Architectural Marvel & Ambiance

Inspired by classic European castles, the restaurant features soaring turrets, arched windows, and ornate stained-glass details that create a regal atmosphere. Inside, guests dine beneath vaulted ceilings adorned with intricate chandeliers, surrounded by lush greenery and whimsical decor that evokes the park’s oceanic theme. The space is divided into multiple themed sections, including a “Royal Banquet Hall” for grand celebrations and intimate “Castle Tower” nooks for a more private experience.

Culinary Highlights

The restaurant specializes in creative Western and Chinese fusion cuisine, crafted with premium ingredients and presented as edible art. Signature dishes include:

  • Ocean King’s Feast: A lavish platter featuring grilled sea bass, lobster tails, and tropical fruit, inspired by the park’s marine wonders.
  • Castle-Style Roast Chicken: Slow-cooked with herbs and served with truffle mashed potatoes.
  • Mystic Garden Salad: Fresh seasonal greens with edible flowers, citrus vinaigrette, and honey-glazed nuts.
  • Fairytale Desserts: Including “Enchanted Chocolate Castle” (a multi-layered chocolate mousse tower) and “Mermaid’s Treasure” (tropical fruit sorbet with gold-leaf garnish).

Unique Dining Experience

Beyond the food, the Castle Restaurant offers character dining interactions where beloved Chimelong Ocean Kingdom mascots—including the playful Ocean King and Princess Pearl—visit tables to share stories, pose for photos, and delight children with themed activities. Evenings feature live piano performances and subtle lighting that transforms the space into a moonlit castle courtyard, enhancing the storybook ambiance.

Practical Information

  • Location: Situated in the “Ocean Kingdom” zone of Chimelong Ocean Kingdom, adjacent to the 5D Castle Cinema and the Whale Shark Exhibit.
  • Hours: 11:00 AM–9:00 PM (lunch and dinner service; character interactions typically run 12:00–2:00 PM and 5:30–8:00 PM).
  • Reservations: Highly recommended—bookings can be made via the Chimelong Resort official website or on-site at the park’s reservation counter. Walk-ins are accepted but may face extended waits during peak hours.
  • Capacity: Seats 300+ guests across its grand dining hall and private sections.
  • Special Notes:
    • Ideal for family celebrations (birthday packages available).
    • Dietary accommodations offered (vegetarian, halal, and allergy-friendly options upon request).
    • A must-visit for guests seeking a premium dining experience that complements the park’s themed entertainment.

Why It Stands Out

Unlike typical theme park eateries, the Castle Restaurant elevates dining into a multisensory spectacle—blending culinary artistry with theatrical storytelling. Its seamless integration into Ocean Kingdom’s narrative (where every dish and decor element ties back to the park’s oceanic lore) makes it a cornerstone of the resort’s immersive design. As highlighted in Chimelong’s official materials, it’s not just a meal—it’s a “royal feast within a living fairytale.”

Perfect for travelers who wish to extend their oceanic adventure into the evening with elegance, creativity, and a touch of magic. 🏰✨
