Best Contemporary food near Shanghai, Shanghai Region, China
Reviews on Contemporary food in Shanghai, Shanghai Region, China. Shanghai is a huge and sprawling metropolis that draws people to it from all over the world. It’s a place of contradictions where East mixes seamlessly with the West, and where the old is constantly bumping up against the new. Find a neighborhood full of Western comforts, immerse yourself in Shanghainese life, or live in the future today. Few other cities in the world – if any at all – have such a wide range of experiences to offer.

We had high hopes and expectations, but they were dashed. We had the signature pork appetizer (grizzly), the signature crystal shrimp (bland to the point of boredom), the signature matsutake mushroom soup (very nice), a duck in black bean sauce (would have paid money for a dna test - Iâm sure it was pork) and the signature greens with lotus root (very nice). The food was certainly fine, but not special by any means and very expensive for what it is. Staff was very sweet.

When finishing our visit of the Yu Gardens we were looking for a quick lunch somewhere away from the crowds.Little did we know when we chose Wujie from TripAdvisor, mostly because it was described as offering Chinese cuisine and was merely 900 meters away.Only upon arrival we noticed that Wujie had a Michelin star. Without a reservation it was also surprising that they were able to accommodate us - on Easter Sunday.The menus are on iPads and only when perusing them we noticed that there was no meat on the menu. When we inquired we found out.Accidentally, this was our first vegan dining experience and it was excellent.

Step back into an era of European fine-dining elegance, with stellar service and sparkling Bund views from the terrace, The Cathay Room transports guests back almost a century in time to a glamorous bygone era. The Cathay Room has been Shanghaiâs premier

We had the chance to go to the Cathay Room with another family. This was (shockingly) only our second or third time in the Peace Hotel on the Bund - what a treat!The entire hotel is a 'listed' building- the Fairmont chain have done an impeccable job of caring for this very old, very stately and very stylish hotel. From the moment you walk in and every moment there after you immediately think about how this must have felt back in the first part of the 20th century - posh and elegant... walking through with small children is not 'posh' or 'elegant' but I can see it in my surroundings.The Cathay Room on the 9th floor was a really wonderful spot for Sunday dinner. The decor was bright and inviting. I was actually surprised at how small the actual dining room was - not vast at all - but each table seemed to be a special place.The menu was not vast either - but sometimes you don't want a magazine of options - you just want to pick something good from a list of tasty things.I went with a traditional Sunday dinner menu option: caesar salad and the lamb loin... both were great. The salad - which is not a dish you expect much from was everything you would hope for: fresh looking and tasting; including spanish ham in place of bacon was a nice twist. The lamb loin was just about perfect: perfect size, cooked perfectly, flanked with a nice selection of vegetables and a sun dried tomato puree. Perfect!Dessert was light: just fruit and tea - but both were served in a fashion that made them seem like a fitting end to a nice meal.Of note: there are outdoor verandas too take photos from - the Bund is always THE spot to take a picture with the uber-impressive PuDong skyline in the background.Of note: the staff; they were perfect. There when you need them - not there when you don't. Available for a suggestion on the menu - and NOT looking to but into your conversation with a sudden and unwanted announcement about the placement of the salad forks (as is the case with other fine dining establishments in the city.) . Kudos!Also of note: the prices. I'm not usually squeamish about costs. This is pricey. This would be pricey for Park Lane... this would be pricey for Avenue George V! (Is it worth the money?) With 6 screaming kids (mine - not anyone else's!) - probably not. With friends on a quiet evening? Yes - definitely.

Aside from the delightful hostess and attentive staff that, even after a few days, remembered my preferred tea served with milk, this pretty space hosts a breakfast buffet that is outstanding in its range of choices by Western standards (my Chinese colleagues tell me that it is merely OK in terms of choices). But this auspicious location on the Bund in one of the most historic buildings along the riverfront is power breakfasting central in Shanghai. As impressed as I was with the staff's personal greeting each morning, I know my various Chinese breakfast guests made careful note of the personal greeting I received. That counts for a lot in China, both in terms of giving recognition to the establishment that cares for its patrons so well, as well as giving recognition to the clever host who chose the location and is so well known.

Beginning with the opening salvo at Mr & Mrs Bund, we were whisked to our secret location for a stunning epicurean delight. Each dish was presented as a show stopper. The food, service and atmosphere were beyond description. Understand why it's a Michelin 3-star restaurant. Kudos to Chef Paul for making this a most memorable experience!

You will never find a better combination of wonderful Italian food and the fabulous personality of chef Simone. Visiting his restaurant is one of the highlights of my trip to China. If youâre really lucky, his lovely wife, Grace will be there. These two have created a perfect blend of cuisine, hospitality and a splash of genuine love to accent the dining experience. Itâs worth the 22 hour plane ride, for sure!! My favorite: Caprese Salad.We are glad that you enjoy your meal in our La vita e bella in shanghai. Same as la vita e bella in guangzhou, we always try to bring positive energy and happiness by our food made with passion and joy, most importantly, Love. Grace and I fell in love before we met. On Oct 1st,2016, stepping out of our comfort zone, La vita e bella in Guangzhou was founded in the name of our love. We have taken care of this as our first child. As a family, she has witnessed all our joy, pain,sweat, and tear. On Nov 13th, 2018, La vita e bella was listed No.1 restaurant in Guangzhou. Now La vita e bella is here in Shanghai, a bigger picture in front of us, with all our hearts and passion, Grace and I always encourage each other and we are more bonded, we believe we are the wings for each other to fly, reasons to stay, and roots to come back. Amazing food, amazing you, amazing world, We are looking forward to seeing you again soon, as you are part of our life.
