Dining/Entertainment

Shanghai has many great restaurants. If you are nostalgic for American food, any of the restaurants below will take you back to Anytown, USA.

Malone's
Not your standard bar fare. Malone's is considered by many to serve up Shanghai's best burgers, and the serving sizes intimidate even the Marlborough man.
255 Tongren Lu
Jing'an District
Tel: 21-6247-2400

Tony Roma's
As American as it gets: greasy, drippy ribs to delight the palate, plus a good choice of other hearty down-home fare.
1376 Nanjing Xi Lu
Jing'an District
Tel: 21-6279-7129

Bourbon Street
This cajun/bar/grill restaurant has very good, authentic food.
191 Hengshan Lu
Xuhui District
Tel: 21-6445-7556

Feeling more adventurous? Shanghai abounds in fancy restaurants serving a variety of fusion or ethnic cuisine. Here are some of the more famous restaurants that are definitely worth trying.

M on the Bund
Perhaps Shanghai's most famous restaurant. M on the Bund is located-- on the Bund. Delectable fusion cuisine and the sophisticated art deco decor are topped only by the spectacular view of the old European buildings lining the Huangpu River.
Tel: 21-6350-9988
20 Guangdong Lu (at Zhongshan Dong Yi Lu) 7/F
Huangpu District

Tandoor
Beautiful and artistically designed restaurant with mesmerizing Buddhist scriptures hanging down from the ceiling. Tandoor has the most attentive wait staff in Shanghai as well as aromatic and tasty dishes.
Tel: 21-6320-2548
59 Mao Ming Nan Lu, South Building, Old Jinjiang Hotel
Luwan District

Cochinchina
Beautiful Vietnamese restaurant with a maze of nooks and crannies, some discretely tucked away in romantic corners. Spicy array of appetizing main courses, certain to please the palate.
Tel: 21-6445-6797
889 Julu Lu, Bldg 11
Jing'an District

Ashanti Dome
If location is everything, then Ashanti's scores well. Interesting setting in an old Russian church, with a Mao portrait over the door for good measure. The French food and South African wines are excellent, and the ambiance is unsurpassable.
Tel: 21-5306-6777
16 Gao An Lu
Luwan District
