Shijian 石见

[Shanghai] Shijian 石见

Shijian 石见 is a Japanese restaurant identified only by a small discrete sign by its door. They don’t want everyone to find this place, but we did (of course). For dinner, Shijian offers a 9-course (RMB¥280) or 10-course (RMB¥380) kaiseki set.

Cuivre Shanghai

[Shanghai] Cuivre (Brunch)

Brunch at Cuivre is set at RMB¥188 per person for a drink (non-alcoholic) and any three courses from the menu.

[Shanghai] Dong Tai Xiang 东泰祥

[Shanghai] Dong Tai Xiang 东泰祥

Okay, this is one of those places where you are most likely going to have to share a table and eat with strangers and the air conditioning sort of works but not really. But it’s okay because the food is cheap and delicious.

The Public Shanghai

[Shanghai] The Public

I often try to bribe my New York friends to airship a pastrami sandwich from Katz’s Deli but I haven’t had much success so I had to think of a more realistic (and cost effective) way to get a pastrami sandwich in Shanghai. I think I can stop crying myself to sleep at night now because I found a good pastrami sandwich at The Public.

[Shanghai] Café del Volcán

[Shanghai] Café del Volcán

Starbucks? Costa? Too mainstream. Go to Cafe del Volcan for a good cup of coffee.

[Shanghai] Di Shui Dong 滴水洞

[Shanghai] Di Shui Dong 滴水洞

Sheng Sushi

Frozen fish and stale rice.
