The benchmark of home-style Shanghainese cooking — a cramped, unfussy room on a leafy side street where the red-braised pork and scallion-oil noodles taste like the city's culinary memory.
The city's most respected shengjian bao counter — golden-bottomed, soup-filled pan-fried pork buns that Shanghainese have been eating for breakfast since the 1930s, Michelin Bib Gourmand and all.
Run by Peng Jinyang — 2025 World Brewers Cup champion — this quietly serious pour-over bar on Taiyuan Road is where Shanghai's coffee obsessives go to taste what the best in the world is actually brewing.
Walk both banks of the Huangpu — the colonial waterfront by day and the Pudong skyline blazing at night; few cities put their best view on the street for free.
The Shanghai outpost of the world's #1 bar — two floors of impeccable Martinis and aperitivo spritzes, notorious for its queue that forms before 5pm.
Wander Wukang Road, Fuxing Road and the shikumen alleys — sycamore-shaded streets of 1930s villas, corner dumplings, and the city's best coffee run by locals, not chains.
