Nine years of Michelin recognition, Shanghai cuisine with a local twist!

"Dingtele" means "the best" in the Shanghai dialect, and Dingtele Yellow Croaker Restaurant, located near Great World, truly lives up to its name. Having been recommended by Michelin for nine consecutive years, I decided to experience its culinary excellence firsthand. Preserved Plum Drunken Shrimp Plump, rosy shrimps are immersed in an amber-colored drunken brine. The shrimp meat is firm and springy, and the heads are filled with rich roe. The sweet and sour notes of the preserved plums delicately balance the richness of the wine, creating a multi-layered flavor profile that's incredibly addictive. Salt and Pepper Yellow Croaker The golden, crispy skin of this dish immediately catches the eye. With each bite, the crispness of the exterior contrasts beautifully with the tender, juicy fish inside. The savory salt and pepper seasoning perfectly enhances the natural umami of the yellow croaker, making it impossible to resist. Spicy Chicken A plate brimming with vibrant red dried chilies reveals golden chicken pieces. The chicken is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, delivering a full-bodied spicy, savory, and fragrant experience. Each bite is a fiery delight, leaving a lingering warmth and satisfying chew – a true haven for spice lovers. The restaurant's decor exudes old Shanghai charm. Warm yellow lighting, retro decorations, and wooden tables and chairs create a cozy and inviting atmosphere, transporting diners back in time. ✨Dingtele Yellow Croaker Restaurant truly deserves its nine years of Michelin recommendations. With its delicious food, elegant ambiance, attentive service, and excellent value, it's a must-try for both visitors to Shanghai and local food enthusiasts seeking authentic Shanghai flavors!
