True Italian food finally in Disney town!!
We have been so many times in Disney town, and despite the place has its undeniable magic atmosphere, there was something missing: good food options. Now someone finally solved the problem, by opening a new Italian restaurant: Favola.
They are the same people of Alimentari, so expect true italian food, good pizza and drinks at reasonable price.
Best happy hour in Disney town, don't miss it.

A Food Tour for my Visiting American Parents
#shanghaitrip
Crayfish popcorn? Shanghai good tour with my parents from California. It’s difficult to find California wines in China. Such a shame because the ones that are here are not a good representation. But oui la la, mom loved the French wines! Everyone went Gaga over the local beers. I think mom and dad will definitely be back to Shanghai, not to see me, but to eat the food. #foodie #travel #shanghaicuisine #shanghaitravel

BARBARIAN (Magnolia Branch) - Shanghai
I am a big fan of the food at Barbarian and the branch at White Magnolia Square is just amazing not because of the food but also the view you get.
It is one of the must visit spots in Shanghai if you are here for holiday and trying to find a nice place with delicious food and amazing view 😍

BORSH&KOMPOT - Shanghai
BORSH&KOMPOT is just an amazing place offering visitors delicious food 😍
It’s been a year since they opened and finally I went there and tried their food. At the moment they have Georgian nights every Monday and I think I’ll be there every Monday 😁 the Khachapuri is SO delicious that I can’t stop eating it 😍 Also they have a long list of Georgian wine to choose from 🍷 I highly recommend to go there on Monday for the Georgian night.

The old streets of Shanghai
There are so many beautiful, old streets in Shanghai with authentic, ancient buildings. On every street you can try amazing Chinese food and of course buy souvenirs. Everything is of course also worth seeing at night with all the lights around the buildings and rich night life that Shanghai offers. Many streets don't open shops very early in the morning so it's worth coming at lunch time and not earlier or just at dinner time. Definitely worth discovering.

DingTeLe Shanghai, noodle heaven
Address - DingTeLe is located inside a community at 494 Middle HuaiHai Road in Shanghai. It's not easy to find as it's not on a main road, but you'll see the restaurant as soon as you step through the community gate.
Ambiance/Facilities - The restaurant is small, but makes up for it by having more seats on different levels. The great thing about it is that you can dine here 24 hours a day, which makes it the perfect breakfast spot. The restaurant was even recommended by Michelin.
Highlights - DingTeLe has all kinds of dishes such as fried pork chops and yellow croaker noodles, but the real star are the scallion noodles, called CongYouMian. They are very simple, but very tasty. Noodles with scallion oil, shredded pork and fried scallions.
Avg. Price per Person - 20rmb

Fine-dining: Vegetarian cuisine in Shanghai
Literally every city in China has vegetarian restaurants. Most of them are very good Buddhist buffet restaurants where you can eat for 15-30 RMB. If you want something more exquisite, 无味舒食 in Shanghai might be a choice. This year I tried it for the first time.
They have more then one restaurant in Shanghai and all of them seem to have a different menu.
The atmosphere was great, really nice and good interior. The food was tasty and they offered 6 courses. They are listed on the Black Pearl restaurant guide.
It's pricy, maybe around 500-600 RMB, so for most of us nothing for every day... Prices might be cheaper for special occasions.
Enjoy! #shanghaicuisine #vegetarianfood

Great Western Barbecue in Shanghai
Since many years already, Wuding Road is home to a nice European/American Fusion-Barbecue place, called Barbarian. They have fresh food, creative options and also home made drinks. The atmosphere is very cozy and relaxed. We ordered oven potatoes, shrimps, some meat skewers and veggies, for drinking two cocktails. So good! Price is not cheap, but from time to time I will go.
⏲️ Opening hours: 11:00 - 02:00 (Next day)

Lingang quest: Dishuihu’s sculpture park
Lingang new city is located in southeastern Shanghai, rapidly developing into a gorgeous and beautiful city surrounded by green areas, Dishui lake, canals, wetlands and Nanhuixincheng beach.
If you are going around the Dishui lake you might find very areas of shadow (desperately, in a very hot summer morning) and rest. This scenic spot is the best in all Dishui Lake China Masters Theme Sculpture Park.
This spot gives you the whole view of the lake and a nice view of Dishuihu West Island (although is under construction and we were not able to enjoy it that much). It has a public bathroom, extremely important if you’re walking around this area.
We found lots of people taking pictures, eating ice creams and children playing freely. This is the major shadow spot, so most people stays around here. This morning was a little too hot.
📍 Nanhui Xinchengzhu Urban District Dishuihu, Pudong

Lingang quest: A kiwi rest by the lake
Lingang new city is located in southeastern Shanghai, rapidly developing into a gorgeous and beautiful city surrounded by green areas, Dishui lake, canals, wetlands and Nanhuixincheng beach.
If you are going around the Dishui lake you might find very areas of shadow (desperately, in a very hot summer morning) and rest. Kiwiana restaurant it’s not only located within the Lingang New City Main Urban Area City Park (for some reason, this area has a very long name and it’s divided in units), but has this amazing view of the lake.
This New Zealand style restaurant is an amazing option to explore, restaurant architecture and ambience is beautiful. Also, it’s located among the area of sculptures, so you can go for a walk after
your meal. We didn’t eat here because of time, and My companion’s reluctance to try foreign food. However, I’ll definitely will be coming back soon. Food looks delicious.

Lingang quest: Noodles
Lingang new city is located in southeastern Shanghai, rapidly developing into a gorgeous and beautiful city surrounded by green areas, Dishui lake, canals, wetlands and Nanhuixincheng beach.
A few steps from the lake you can find Shangu Noodles, very crowded place and highly recommended. Plates are big, ambience is calm and try to give an old Beijing city impression (according to my Chinese friend). Although, we found the noodles to be a bit salty.
Considering this area is still under construction, you find many empty buildings or relatively expensive restaurants, therefore this is still a good option near the lake. During a very hot summer day, walking around this area with very little shadowing or resting spaces, you just take what you get.

Authentic Italian food in Shanghai
Everytime I come to Shanghai, I will visit "La Mia Casa" in central Shanghai. Their Napoli style pizza is fresh and very tasty, the prices are Ok. On Sunday evening they two pizzas for one, so it usually gets packed. Besides pizza, their offer a lot of pasta, meat and fish dishes. It seems to be popular with Chinese and foreigners.
You can combine your restaurant night with a walk through the nice neighborhood with other restaurants, bars and shops. Enjoy!
Address: 延平路135号 (YanPingLu 135)
Highlights: Happy Hour on drinks and snacks before 8pm

Fancy Asian food in Shanghai Centre
Portman’s Boteman in West Nanjing Road is a fancy restaurant located in East building of the Shanghai Centre, next to the waterfall wall garden.
This restaurant mostly focuses on seafood 🦞, bringing together dishes from Japan, China, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore in an explosion of flavors. As amazing as it sounds, it’s quite expensive too. Be prepared to expend a few hundreds in a small meal. The meat 🥩 dishes look amazingly good. Drinks and cocktails have a nice presentation.
There are few good dessert options, too. However, as delicious as they look I’m not willing to pay around 100RMB just in a small dessert dish.
📍 Shanghai Centre, No.1376, Nanjing West Road The Portman Ritz-Carlton Shanghai Building 1, Jing'an

Charcoal drinks?
A Charcoal is a gorgeous (and expensive) Japanese restaurant located in Shanghai Centre. This restaurant has a simple but elegant ambience, perfect for a romantic date or a meeting that requires privacy.
Menus are in English, Japanese and Chinese. So many seafood 🦞 and meat 🥩 options to chose is hard to decide. Also, you will spend minimum 350 RMB in a dinner, of two dishes and no drinks. Drinks are mostly sold in bottle, so add a couple more hundreds. Presentation of the dishes is gorgeous, mostly focused on wangyu barbecue.
Although everything looked delicious, I went for a simple beer and a daifuku (also called daifukumochi, popular Japanese cakes made from a chewy glutinous rice). Very simple but also very good. Not sure if I’ll come back again, too expensive for me.
📍 Shanghai Centre, No.1376, Nanjing West Road Dongfeng Floor 1 Unit 122, Jing'an

Curry & pho for a summer evening
If you want to try an authentic Vietnamese restaurant (as they claim) in Shanghai, Saigon Mama is a delicious option you should try. Ambience is charming, staff is nice and seem to be happy in their work.
My order was a chicken yellow curry 🍛. Very tasty and right amount of spicy (be sure you tell the cook how much/little spice you can manage). Bowls are huge, yet my plate looked a bit empty (or maybe I just wanted more). Pho 🍜 dishes are the most popular among the other clients, and delivery orders.
A detail the surprised me, was the coconut 🥥 over my rice. Give the meal a nice taste with the curry, not sure if this is just presentation or it’s common in Vietnamese food. In general, My experience here was quite nice.

A romantic date with Mexican brunch
Pistolera is a popular Mexican food restaurant in Shanghai. This branch is the new location for West Nanjing, next to the Portman Ritz-Carlton hotel.
During the day, Pistolera is a great restaurant to visit for brunch. Very little people and delicious food, during the night it becomes a crowded and fun place to hangout with your friends. If you like to consider a brunch date (specially if is a blind date), this is a perfect spot. Gives you the privacy you want, in a safe location (for inside the building and many people moving around).
My favorite dish in Pistolera is the Tortilla soup, a taste from home. Any margarita jar is great for your brunch, to keep the conversation going without drinking too much. Now, if you want dessert, go for the churros with ice cream 🍨. Very sweet, but very good!
📍 No.1266, Nanjing West Road Jing’an

Columbia O: Spain taste
We went exploring a new area of Shanghai we heard so much about: Columbia Circle. This is a heritage building complex located in Yan’an area. Near the pool area, you can find several cafés, restaurants and beautiful spots to get pictures.
Pirata 🏴☠️ is a Mediterranean style restaurant where, if you are lucky to grab a spot, you can enjoy a nice glass of wine or a beer in romantic dinner by the pool. Food is very good, although the tostadas/toast are expensive for small serve. Ambience is nice, music is mostly Spanish (trova).
If you want to eat paella or any cazuela 🥘 dish, you need to wait 45 minutes while it gets done. Therefore, this is not a place to visit if you are hungry. Iberian ham is delicious. Beer 🍺 it’s a bit bitter than you may expect in China. My recommendation is to try the paella with red wine 🍷.

Columbia O: Japanese Food
We went exploring a new area of Shanghai we heard so much about: Columbia Circle. Columbia Circle is located in Yan’an area.
Heiseiya is a Chinese version of a typical izakaya. Perfect for a meal or spare your time drinking in Japanese styled restaurant. Decoration resembles any izakaya, food tries to be authentic (not completely, according to my Japanese friend) and music are old Japanese songs from the 70’s-80’s.
During our visit the restaurant was super crowded, we had to wait a few minutes while a table became available. Food was quite nice, specially the fish and the rolls. There’s no sushi 🍣 or many traditional dishes available, either. Nevertheless, their liquor many is quite complete. A bottle of any umeshu (wine plum) is 300RMB, and it’s quite big.
Dishes are affordable, some are small but others are big. Better to come in company, to share a few dishes. In case you decide to come alone, you can sit in entrance bar to enjoy your food and drinks 🍺 on a very Japanese style.

Songjiang quest: Fuyue Hotel
Fuyue Hotel is one of the biggest hotels in Shanghai, with enough capacity to receive over 1,500 people for a given event. When you enter, you first get to admire the palm trees and a gorgeous fountain mid lobby.
Rooms are big and clean, although a bit expensive (~700RMB per night). There are three restaurants available in 1st (buffet style) and 2nd floors (seafood🦞). Food is quite good, specially the pastry (and I don’t even like desserts🍰). Many different dishes are available, noddles and rice as basic staples, and fruit to refreshing your stomach after eating so much.
Fuyue offers a gymnasium and a swimming pool, perfect for these summer days. Something I found absolutely surprising was to find a KTV in 2F. This hotel feels like indoors city. Additionally, Songjiang’s waterfront and few commercial malls and restaurants are available a few steps away from main door.
📍 Rongyue Road 208 Long, Songjiang

Night stroll in Xintiandi area
Cor! is a super cute coffee shop ☕️ in Fuxing Middle Rd. Location seems quite small, but it’s actually spacious inside. You can either sit in a small terrace enjoying the hot summer night, or inside to keep the heat away (or run from the rain). Location is a bit difficult to find, as entrance is just a door along the street. However, door is tiny so the magic stays inside.
Ambience is quite relaxing, gotta love the bird houses hanging outside with the plants 🪴 . Decoration inside is also cute. Better to go during afternoon or evening, outside decoration can’t be fully appreciated during the night.
Must say, this is not an ordinary coffee shop, as you can also get wine, many dessert 🧁 and savory snacks, and cold drinks (coffee based drinks and cocktails 🍹 too). Decoration of drinks and desserts is super cute. Seems like a very good option for a quick brunch.
📍 Fuxing Middle Road No.559, Huangpu

Food Diaries: Chifrijo-ish in Xuhui
Moka Bros is located next to Xiangyang Park. The ambience is quite good, relaxing, and pet friendly! Was nice to see dog owners to come and chill with their dogs. Definitely a place I’ll come back.
This restaurant has three parts: an open side to drink in summer, inner tables for nice conversations, working or even as dating spot; and a higher place to sit down in soft balls to spend your day, chilling.
Food is great, and proportional to price. This particular dish I order was Mexican 🇲🇽 stylish, with chicken fajitas. Nevertheless, flavor was very similar to a Costa Rica 🇨🇷 traditional dish called ‘chifrijo’. Made me feel at home. Therefore, there’s a huge bias for me in this case 😂
To order, you need to go to counter. They also have self-served water bottles and napkins to get your own drink, if you don’t want to wait for the waitresses.
📍 Xiangyang North Road No.108 Kwah Centre Building 1 101C (Xiangyang Park Opposite), Xuhui

Sunday night BBQ in Xintiandi
As you know, I’m a big fan of bbq restaurants. Chuxiaoge in Fuxing Plaza (Soho) in Xintiandi is a nice finding. Relatively cheap, tasty and open.
Something funny about Shanghai is the difficulty to find restaurants open at night, despite the fact this city never sleeps. There are not many restaurants open after 9pm, specially on a rainy weekend. Therefore, if you are in the area you shoul definitely grab a bite here!
Staff are quite nice, ambience is inviting. Not sure how crowded will be during the day. Beer drinks are good, specially with bbq. Meat and seafood 🦞 sticks are very tasty. Chuxiaoge additionally have rice 🍚 and noodles 🍜 options, if you feel bbq sticks are not enough.
They have a pear soup 🥣 that may not look so good, but it’s very recommended. Same with the duck.

A secret recipe for the sweetest cake
Secret Recipe is a coffee shop and restaurant located FOR shopping mall (Exit 3, Line 9). Place is spacious, cute ambience and open area for these hot summer days. I find particularly interesting that they have the main local and a small window inside the mall.
Cakes 🎂 look great. There is a seasonal specialty you definitely must try: peach 🍑 and coconut 🥥 cake 🍰. Even for not sweet tooths, this combination is hard to ignore. Specially during summer.
Fruit juices are made from real fruit and not bottled concentrate, this is important. So hard to find a beverage that’s not a fruit flavored drink but actual juice. Coffee ☕️ is a blend, like you can find in most coffee shops in Shanghai.
Part of these coffee shop advertising is that they have over 165 years of service, I guess this is a not well-known international franchise.

From Colombia & Kenya to you
Shanghai is the city with more coffee shops in the world. Among those shops, Starbucks franchise is the one that wins. Almost in every corner, in every mall, there is a Starbucks. However, once I arrived to China I realized some of these shops are quite special. Some are vintage, some crowded, but only few of them a nice place to work in.
Starbucks in Nanyangjing Rd is one of these few places were, despite the fact is extremely crowded at any time, remains quiet and it’s one of the favorite places for many people to come and work (pic 3).
Also, their cakes 🍰 offer varies a little from other sites I had seen. Summer offers includes lots of coconut and mango flavored cakes 🧁. Also, pineapple, peach and grape seasonal drinks to refresh your day.

Enjoyable Takeouts: Dinning Outdoors
For summer, one of my favorite things to do in Shanghai is to have my meal outdoors. As long as rain and mosquitoes allow. This is one of my favorite places in Tongji University, next to the pound and the metal sphere (that looks like archeological stone spheres in Costa Rica).
One of the preferred take out locations for students is Subway. The most healthy, at least. Subway in Tongji Plaza has also a small place upstairs to dine in, if you prefer. Main plus, this restaurant has a refill drink bar. You can order the daily combo (25 RMB) and have access to all beverages you can drink. Also, any place that has jalapeño (spicy pepper) is always preferred. If you enjoy spicy like me, chose the spicy mayo sauce. It’s the closest to chipotle (Mexican sauce).
Staff is quite friendly and speak English, enough for taking your order, which is highly appreciated by all international students just arriving in and speak no Chinese.

A coffee shop full of polar bears
Polar Cafe is a cute coffee in FOR mall, located in Yanggao Middle Road. Polar Café is a small franchise, and there are a few shops in Shanghai, but couldn’t find much information in the website they include their decoration.
This tiny coffee shop is literally full of polar bears: in the chairs, decorations and even in your coffee cup!! If you like bears 🐻, specially polar bears 🐻❄️, this is the place for you!! Super cute! As I walked by I got attracted by all the cute bears 🐻❄️ and had to come back and check it.
Desserts are super cute, including bear 🐻 shaped cakes 🍰. This ambience make me feel in Christmas and winter, despite the current heat. Best time to come is during the night, even if shop is inside the mall and it’s a bit dark, night will let all the ceiling lights to be more appreciated.
There are many fruity juices options, for those not fans of coffee. But be honest, who doesn’t want to have a coffee cup with a polar bear 🐻❄️ made of foam? (although some make look a bit ugly 😂, depending the skill of bartender).

What about a 2nd coffee to survive today
Manner Coffee shop is located just outside Exit 3 (Line 9), in FOR shopping mall. Manner Coffee has several branches around Shanghai. This one is Yanggao Middle Rd branch.
This coffee shop seems to be very popular, we had to make a line to get our coffee. They are a bit slow, too. They have a space to sit, but for some reason only have one chair at each side. Maybe to avoid people to come and work, considering the amount of clientele they receive in this small space.
I didn’t saw any offer of bakery to enjoy with your coffee, however there’s a nice bakery near by. And another coffee shop with space to sit down few steps down the road. Above all, Manner coffee has more clientele. Probably due to quality of coffee or affordable prices.
