sAviOr_07I came here for lunch on a weekday and had a three-course meal for 258 yuan, including lobster soup for the appetizer + beef tenderloin for the main course + dessert buffet with eight desserts to choose from. The price is still very favorable, and the environment is also good. After all, you can see the Lujiazui three-piece set and the swimming pool of the W Hotel. The soup and the main course are not bad, but the dessert is a bit sweet. Key point: If you want to sit by the window, you must make a reservation in advance.

小象Luxury living above the clouds: The Ritz-Carlton, Pudong, Shanghai When the hustle and bustle of the bustling city is left behind, a dreamy and luxurious journey begins the moment you step into the Ritz-Carlton, Pudong, Shanghai. The hotel is located on the top floor of Lujiazui IFC. Its unique geographical location allows the beautiful scenery of the Huangpu River and the Bund to be spread out in front of you without reservation. Looking into the distance, iconic buildings such as the Oriental Pearl Tower and the Jinmao Tower are within easy reach, as if they are within reach of the city's business card. The hotel was carefully designed by internationally renowned designer Richard Farnell, who cleverly combines novel fashion with the decorative art features of Shanghai in the 1930s. Stepping into it, the retro charm and modern style are intertwined, and every detail tells the dialogue between history and modernity. 285 luxurious rooms and suites, ranging in size from 50 to 410 square meters. Whether it is a spacious and comfortable deluxe room or a Bund river view suite with a stunning view, each one is exquisitely designed. The brass bathtub designed by a famous designer exudes a warm luster; the electronic touch panel is full of technological convenience; the bedding uses Ritz-Carlton standard linen and feather mattresses, lying down gently, it feels like falling into the clouds, bringing the ultimate sleeping experience. The hotel's dining is also amazing. The Michelin one-star restaurant Jinxuan on the 53rd floor excites the taste buds with creative Cantonese cuisine, and each dish is a perfect combination of tradition and innovation. The SCENA Italian restaurant on the 52nd floor presents authentic Italian delicacies in their original flavors, as if bringing the style of the Apennine Peninsula to your eyes. The FLAIR top-floor restaurant and bar on the 58th floor, as the highest outdoor dining venue in Shanghai, enjoys Asian-style food while taking in the city skyline, with a gentle breeze and extraordinary comfort. In addition, the elegant afternoon tea at the Aura lobby lounge and jazz bar, with exquisite snacks and melodious jazz music, is a pleasant enjoyment that cannot be missed. In terms of leisure facilities, the 1,500-square-meter spa and fitness center is like a quiet oasis in the city. There is a 24-hour gym to meet the needs of fitness enthusiasts to sweat at any time; swimming in the sky-high constant temperature swimming pool is like embracing the blue sky and white clouds; the hot steam in the sauna washes away fatigue; professional massage care services deeply relax the body and mind. Whether it is a business trip or a leisure vacation, the Ritz-Carlton Shanghai Pudong can meet your needs and bring you an unforgettable wonderful experience.

时氏拾诗史The location is great, and the night view of the Bund is great. The steak is delicious and I was amazed. The other dishes were not amazing. The service is good, but the price-performance ratio is not very high for office workers. The birthday dessert is very beautiful.

理想生活志From September 20 to 24, 2023, Shanghai Jing'an Shangri-La invited Tam Chudaree Debhakam, the owner and chef of Baan Tepa, which has one Michelin star in Bangkok in 2023 and is on the list of "Asia's 50 Best Restaurants", to be the guest of the 1515 Steakhouse and Bar on the fourth floor of the hotel, presenting a modern Thai sensory feast for a limited time #Searching for Shangri-La from the Heart#! The 7-course dinner costs 1,088 yuan + 15% service charge. It is worth saving the plane ticket to eat here. Every dish is empty, and I even want another plate! Blue lobster: The concentrated Tom Yum Goong soup is clear but rich, and the sour and spicy taste enhances the umami flavor. The dumplings are full of lobster meat, which is so satisfying! Thai pasta: The pasta is handmade, very tough and chewy. The addition of chicken hearts and cashews is wonderful. Southern Thai style curry: The ribeye of Angus and Wagyu is tender and juicy. The milky aroma of yellow curry and the fat of the meat are very delicious. It is paired with sweet and juicy grilled pineapple for another flavor. Finally, eat a bok choy, which is very refreshing. Sweet potato "Snow Mountain": The purple potato is filled with vanilla, passion fruit and sesame candy. Although it is sweet, it is not greasy at all!

ivytwinsShanghai Food | New Year's Eve Dinner at Mercato by JG, No. 3 on the Bund Mercato by JG is one of my favorite Western restaurants in Shanghai. I have to say that in addition to the great view, the dishes are also stable and excellent. The difficulty of booking a New Year's Eve dinner in Shanghai is beyond my imagination. It is almost impossible to book any Chinese restaurant a month in advance, so I can only switch to Western restaurants. Fortunately, my parents are reasonable and agree to this New Year's Eve dinner that "elderly and children" cannot participate in. My old father arrived at the store at 5 o'clock and got a window view seat. Thank him for letting the fancy advertisement of Citigroup Tower accompany us for dinner. There are not many restaurants that can use the Dianping set meal on New Year's Eve, and this is one of them. A two-person meal is too little for three people, and a four-person meal is too much for three people. In line with the "big New Year" purpose of "abundance every year", we ordered a 2k luxury four-person meal, so that I was full before the steak was served, and finally realized the theme of "abundance every year" with two takeaway boxes. 🌆Environment: One of the best view restaurants in Shanghai, you can see the three-piece set and countdown lights throughout the meal. 💁Service: The service fee is included in the set meal, which is considerate. The speed of serving the dishes is faster than expected (it is so fast that I am full immediately). In terms of dishes, there are no disappointments as always. 🍕Signature Black Truffle Pizza (228r) is a must for every table. You can only taste the aroma of truffles when you eat it while it is hot. 🥩Grilled Angus Ribeye Steak and Stir-fried Vegetables (968r) is medium rare. Whether it is paired with vanilla sauce or pepper & salt, the meat is delicious. The portion is really large and you can't finish it. 🍣Porcini Salmon (258r) is medium rare and tastes just right. This way of eating is quite special for people who like sashimi. 🦞Italian lobster ravioli (228r) is much inferior to the other two main dishes, so there is no need to order them separately. 🥑Warm seafood salad with avocado, homemade ricotta cheese with cranberries, emperor fish sashimi with Italian chopped olives and dill, spicy tuna tartare with black olives, every appetizer was a plate, and the seasoning and ingredient quality control were very good. 🍮For desserts, tiramisu and Alfado coffee ice cream are ordinary in appearance, but generally not sweet and still edible. The three-layer tiramisu looks a bit fake. 🍹Mojito (group purchase 28r) Although the taste is nothing special, it is so pleasant to drink a cup with the beautiful scenery. In general, if you want to find a western restaurant with a good environment and good taste, you can choose this one.

Francesco BenazziFor the main course, I indulged in the Charred M9 Denver cut beef, a testament to the restaurant's commitment to quality and sustainability by primarily sourcing beef from Uruguay, where farming methods allow cattle to roam freely. This exceptional beef showcased a perfect balance of tenderness and bold flavors, expertly prepared to perfection. It was accompanied by an artichoke in three distinct textures: the heart of the artichoke at the base, a creamy artichoke blend in the middle, and crisp young leaves delicately deep-fried on top. This harmonious blend of flavors and textures resulted in a truly remarkable and memorable dish. Pairing it with a tannic Piedmont wine, Accornero Bricco del Bosco 2013, enhanced the experience, with notes of red cherry, raspberry, strawberry jam, and sweet spices, culminating in impeccable balance and outstanding length. Dessert arrived in the form of pumpkin cloves gelato with chestnut flower cream, red plum gel, and pumpkin seed crumble. This sweet creation offered delicate flavors with intriguing clove notes that lingered. To conclude this extraordinary meal, I enjoyed a warm Illy espresso, accompanied by a selection of three Petit fours: mini macaroons with berry coulis, a fake pearl with Sicilian pistachio and raspberry insert, and a delightful chocolate praline with Tonka bean. Overall, my experience at Otto e Mezzo Bombana was nothing short of fantastic. With its Two Michelin stars, this restaurant offers a culinary journey that combines Italian excellence with the enchantment of Shanghai's historical Rock Bund. My bill of 1700RMB was a testament to the quality and luxury that Otto e Mezzo Bombana delivers. It's a dining experience I won't soon forget.

jennynuiBe sure to make reservations in advance. We had lunch at noon. It was raining heavily outside, but the place was full. When we sat down, the air conditioning was a bit cold in summer, so the waiter helped me get a blanket (it was placed in a plastic bag like on an airplane, very clean). Tang Court Signature Crispy Chicken^The skin is crispy and shiny, and the gravy overflows when you bite it. |Matsutake Morel in Clear Soup^I love eating morels very much, and this is my second time trying it today. Compared with cold dishes, it is more suitable for soup. The soup is refreshing and delicious when it is hot. |Steamed Panlonghai Tiger Grouper with Black Bean Garlic^The simplest method shows the freshness of the ingredients, the meat is tender, and the black bean sauce is poured on it, which is very delicious. |Ginger-fried scallops^The scallops are coated with a thin layer of flour and fried until golden, and they are crispy when eaten. |Fresh crab meat and egg white braised green^The super tender bean sprouts and the egg white wrapped crab meat are a perfect CP. |Sautéed shrimp king with shrimp roe and green onion^The shrimp king is full of shrimp roe, which is delicious, sweet and meaty. |Fried rice with beef pine in teriyaki sauce^The fried rice is distinct, dry but not hard, it is a fine product, the beef is evenly sized, and the teriyaki sauce is very fresh. |Flame wild black pork^The dish is very special, the flame🔥 erupts, making the meat more firm. |Mango sago with swan quicksand crisps^The effect of dry ice, the mist is lingering, and the poetic beauty is even more evident. The quicksand crisps are slightly sweet, and the icy mango sago is very suitable for summer. High-quality products, looking forward to Tangge's three-star rating again.

加油干饭呀Eating crabs is a slow and exquisite enjoyment, and it is also the soul of Shanghai people. Even in the rainy winter, you should taste this delicious taste and wait for the dormant taste buds to be awakened little by little... The "Shiliyangchang" hidden in the B2 floor of Daimaru Department Store is a European-style building with old Shanghai decoration. The combination of Chinese and Western styles of Zhuang's Longxing is full of charm, and every corner is a check-in point📸 The ¥108🌟single-person crab powder golden tasting set🌟 is launched, with one side, one dish and one soup, which is clearly arranged. The exquisite style of one person is definitely highly rated💯 Who doesn't like to eat crabs? They just don't like to peel them~ The master chef at the door of the store manually disassembles the crabs. Each portion of crab powder golden noodles is full of "freshness", and the golden and fragrant crab roe and crab roe are extremely fragrant. Just picking up a chopstick will make you drool all over the floor. The matching noodles are also a plus point. The softness and hardness are suitable, smooth and elastic. Each one firmly holds the crab oil, and the freshness enters the soul instantly after taking a bite! Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fried pork chop with fermented bean curd is a delicacy that has been cherished by generations of Shanghainese. Dipping it in soy sauce makes it even more special. If food is the carrier of memories, then this fried pork chop is full of the happy taste of childhood~ 🦀️Zhuang's Longxing·Kai Tan Noodles (New World Daimaru Department Store) 📍B2, New World Daimaru Department Store, 228 Nanjing East Road

Wang棒棒The taste is still okay, just like the store in Hongqiao. The smell has not changed, but the lobby is noisy. The taste is worthy of recognition. The dishes should be introduced. The Hongqiao store has introduced them. For example, many customers don’t know about the platter. The Hongqiao store introduced it, but ours almost ignored it. Hope it can be improved.
