Guide
Where to eat in Shanghai
Shanghai eats everything: the soup dumplings, the hairy crab in season, the great old restaurants, the new fine dining. Real places, honest prices.
Photos for Shanghai are still on their way. Every listing below is real.
The classics
Nanxiang Mantou Dian
The original soup-dumpling house by the garden: the crab-pork buns in season. Touristy and worth it.
Shanghainese
Fu 1088 / Jesse
The red-braised pork, the hairy crab in autumn, the home-style rooms. The cuisine at its best.
Di Shui Dong
The Hunan chain the locals swear by: the fish head, the spice. Not Shanghainese, but Shanghai loves it.
