This is the mainstay of our Shanghai eating. The menu is diverse and healthy for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Deserts are nice as well. The setting is calm and peaceful on any day; rain or shine.

A unique creation in China. Mixed Western and Chinese simple dishes. Food is quite nice and fresh and the health smoothies are the best in China.
