    Not a restaurant but a true Belgian Beer Bar, over 80 Trappiste and Belgian ales. Amazing. Ask for Rudy (owner) or Elvis.

    This restaurant doesn't look like much, but the food is delicious. They specialized in Shanghainese food.

    Ate here for their soft opening and didn't have a great experience. Went there for lunch today and both the service and food has improved. If you are looking for a big, heavy burger try the Aussie Burger.

    Good Cantonese restaraunt with a wide variety of food. Everything from fried noodles, to curry, to sandwiches. Really tasty and affordable. Try the Hunan chicken with rice, the crackling pork and the pork sandwich.

    Really good Sushi/Japanese place. Nice atmosphere and reasonably priced. Best to get a reservation as it's often busy even on weeknights.

    Great food, excellent service. Caters to westerners, but prices are still fairly competitive. Make sure you try the chili and barbecued beef on cocktail sticks!

    Excellent breakfasts until 11am weekdays/all day weekends, with free coffee refills! Also recommend the smoothies. Food quality is great but a little pricey. Still, consistently good food, friendly service, and good range of cold/hot sandwiches, always using quality ingredients. Free wifi.

    You have to try the whole lamb legs - they are amazing. Also the jiao zi dumplings, the fried chicken, and the sweet and sour pork. Food is top notch, food and beer is fairly cheap. Recommended.

    Decent sports bar. Great breakfasts and good variety on the menu, though a little on the pricey side. Waitresses wear ridiculous outfits and are very friendly, playing pool, table football etc. with customers. Full of aggressively drunk Americans when they're showing American football games.

    Underwhelming food, very expensive for what you get. Decor is American to the point of being insulting. Lacklustre breakfasts, though the one saving grace is that they serve good quality coffee. Certainly not going back any time soon.

    Amazing food, great service. Clean, contemporary decor. A little pricey, but well worth it. The sautéed minced chicken with pine nuts in sesame pockets was one of the tastiest things I've eaten in Shanghai. Recommended.

    Each time I've been to El Willy, I've been impressed. Food is consistently great. Creative dishes i.e. foie gras + kumquat + popcorn.

    Robust wine list with plenty of Spanish D.O.s represented. Highly recommend.

    Chef Stiller presides over the restaurant a la Kraftwerk---hovering above his computer screen in the open kitchen. Service is silent running with the chef whispering to his sous-chefs and servers.

    Service: perfect. Food: perfect. A handshake from Chef Stiller at the conclusion of the meal. Desserts were fabulous. Outstanding cheese selection. Will return again.

    This location sadly doesn't exist any more. It used to be one of my favourite restaurants and a great place to take a group of people for a reasonable price and great food and atmosphere. Dumplings are great, but so is pretty much everything else. Male friends particularly enjoy the roast lamb legs that come with plastic gloves to eat with.

    Definitely try to find another of their branches!

    Bar Rouge is situated on the top floor of an imposing colonial style building on the central area of The Bund. Large bar and lounge areas plus open terrace with fantastic views in all directions over the Shanghai skyline. Stylish red and black interior- combined with red lighting effects- provide a sensual atmosphere to this popular nightclub. Photos at this link...http://tinyurl.com/28bvxxa

    Blue Frog on Tongren Lu has closed - suggest try other location nearby at 207 Maoming Nan Lu.

    Blue Frog bars are now an “institution” in Shanghai, amongst both residents and visitors. There are several Blue Frogs in various parts of Shanghai, as well as outlets now in Beijing and Macau. The Maoming Lu (south end) bar is on a quiet, tree lined section of the street in the French Concession area and is in a two storey row of old buildings converted into bars and restaurants. Blue Frog’s popularity over the years comes from the combination of good value western pub food, especially the hamburgers, friendly staff , and good selection of drinks.

    Situated within the hugely popular Xintiandi bar and restaurant district of Shanghai.

    Restored brick laneway house provides the setting for KABB, indoor bar and bistro room, and with outdoor terrace tables for watching the passing flows of pedestrians.

    Excellent grill menu, and great happy hour deals means that KABB is always busy. And the house speciality Bloody Marys- maybe the best in Shanghai?

    Open all day – from 7am until late.
