A very nice bar and restaurant with a live band. You can choose indoor or outdoor. The weather was cool these nights, so it was quite pleasant to sit outdoors. Spanish cuisine, good taste, and a great feeling!
There are many choices on the menu. Generally, we come here to try some tartare or something like that. If you want Spanish rice, you have to be careful because you have to wait patiently. The portion is also large, so it is more suitable for two people to share. There are endless kinds of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. It is really nice to pick a cup of your favorite to cool down in the summer. Business is pretty good, and I heard many regulars come during the day. I was in Xintiandi for business recently, and I came again at noon. I asked for crispy fried chicken legs. The portion was really enough to make the strong little guy feel at home. The bread was just so-so and a little too dry. The dessert of mango sago after the meal was very pleasing. The invoice is electronic, which is very quick to operate. Just be careful when going to the bathroom. There is a small step that is easy to trip if you are not careful. After all, it was only two months since the last fall, and I am still scared.
Estado Puro is a Spanish restaurant that has been opened in Xintiandi for a long time. I can't remember if I've been there before. Even if I have, it was many years ago. I went there for lunch in early July. When I left Xintiandi in the afternoon, I fell inexplicably at the exit of the elevator underground garage, so I have a deep memory of this restaurant. The location is good, at the fork of an alley in Xintiandi Beili, there is a fork leading to Madang Road, and opposite is the lively Shake Shack. There are not many seats outdoor, and it looks like it is under an arcade, with intimate protection from wind and rain. It is still impossible to sit outside at noon in summer. The indoor space is large, and there is a long bar at the innermost, which is very eye-catching. The seats for guests are quiet, with pink and yellow tones, and a strong contrast. However, there are a few seats that are visually uncomfortable. Sitting there is like sitting there specifically to watch the guests next door eat. There is no sense of distance and privacy protection.
This is a very delicious western restaurant. Not only are the dishes beautifully presented and delicious, but they are also inexpensive. You can eat very well for only about 80 yuan per person. It is worth it. I will come here again when I come to Shanghai. Highly recommended.
After get off work, I met up with colleagues to stroll around Xintiandi and find a restaurant. This time, we chose Estado, a Spanish restaurant. The restaurant has two areas: the outdoor area, sheltered by a roof, is isolated from the bustling Xintiandi without being alienated. Inside, the bar decor resembles a rainbow, with black panels separating the bar and booths, each without interfering with the other. Beef cheek with celery puree. The beef was probably braised in red wine and was very tender. The celery puree gave it a light, refreshing flavor. Seafood pasta with squid ink. Squid ink is said to have a light, salty flavor, but I'm not sure why it's so delicious as a condiment. It's delicious whether used on noodles or rice. Spanish roast pig (1/4). I didn't want steak, so I ordered the roast pig. I thought a quarter wouldn't be very large, but it turned out to be five large pieces. This dish is grilled fresh after ordering, so there's a wait. But the wait was worth it. The skin of the roasted pig was crispy and tender, and the pork underneath the skin was fat and lean, and also very tender.
Summer vacation is drawing near, and even the breeze feels freer... Xintiandi is always at its most beautiful at this time of year. Sitting outside, enjoying the cool breeze from dusk to dusk... This restaurant is quite unique; it caught my eye as I passed by. It specializes in Spanish cuisine, which suits my taste perfectly... I highly recommend their paella. The rice is perfectly moist, with a light layer, and every bite is incredibly flavorful. You can enjoy king prawns, clams, squid, and mussels... I also love all the tapas, and the foie gras toast is a real eye-catcher. The large hunk of foie gras is rich and delicious; eat it while it's hot! The garlic chicken wings come in a serving of six, fried to a crisp. Dip them in mayonnaise and you'll want to lick your fingers afterward [grin]. The Spanish meatballs are huge, each one. They have a sweet and sour taste, and the meat is very chewy. There's also a generous portion of shrimp salad, recommended by the waiter. Even though I don't like vegetables, I finished off the greens. I definitely give it a thumbs-up; it's quite refreshing and very appetizing. I added a side of thin fries to the meal. Chatting and eating fries makes the evening fly by. There's a resident singer every night at 9 p.m., transforming the place into a bar. It's also nice to sit back and relax with a cocktail.
