    This restaurant is noted for its shrimp dumplings, congee, and mango sago. The fish tank archway at the entrance suggests that they are good at seafood, and that presumption would be correct if the shrimp congee is anything to go by. Located at the Royal Meridien, the décor is stylish and the food is mainly dim sum. As a hotel restaurant, you can be guaranteed a reasonable level of service and a q ... read more >

    +86 21 6385 8752
    Found on the second floor of Xintiandi Mall, Crystal Jade is somewhat a “hidden gem” waiting to be found. But in spite of its non-strategic location, it’s surprisingly full of patrons most of the time. The word of the mouth is indeed powerful than any other advertisement there is and it's all true when it comes to a restaurant like Crystal Jade. So what is it in this place that most people are fas ... read more >

    Cuisine: Chinese Cantonese, Chinese Dim Sum

    300 Huaihai Zhong Lu 2/F, Xinshijie Tower near Madang Lu Shanghai
    +86 21 6358 3699
    As is frequently standard in the Far East, you will find this high class venue in the unfortunate location of a mall. Along with dim sum, you will find afternoon tea served here - a Hong Kong tradition, if ever there was one, further emphasizing the Cantonese region theme as well as the refined and upmarket nature of the venue. Expect to pay for the great food and service.

    +86 21 6279 8888 ext. 4770
    Muted lighting and woody tones make an intimate environment in this hotel restaurant. The Old World meets New in terms of décor, and the cuisine here could be described in the same fashion. The contemporary twist on traditional Chinese cuisine may be getting old by now, but it’s done here with creativity and flair. Shark’s fin and bird’s nest soups are both standards on the menu. However, you cert ... read more >
