Let me state at the outset that I am not an expert on Yunnan cuisine. I can however determine quite succinctly if I have enjoyed myself. I most certainly did at Lost Heaven. Entering the restaurant you will note that it is very dimly lit. The hostesses and servers are very attractively attired. Our table was intimate yet at the... More

The food was simply exceptional!!! Anyone who enjoys seafood simply must visit this trendy but tasteful restaurant in the French Concession. We ordered far too many dishes and loved every single one, cocktails weren't bad either!

I was taken there by my hosts during a recent stopover in Shanghai. The style and ambience of the restaurant is first class. It does seem to be something of an expat hangout but none the worse for that. Ultimately it's the food that counts and this place is spot on. Purists will probably moan about the authenticity of the... More

This restaurant says is specializes in Yunnan cuisine. While I can't speak to the authenticity of that claim, the menu is diverse and has some dishes that are very unique compared to the average Chinese cuisine in the area. The food was very enjoyable. The service was average. What makes this place really special is the beautiful decor.

There is 2 Lost Heaven restaurant in Shanghai one at the Bund area and the other one at the former-French Concession area. The Menu ( which is delicious) of both places is exactly the same, but atmosphere is completely different. The one at former French Concession area we like very much the restaurant area, it is really very nice: smaller... More

Lost haven is one of the best in SH as per TripAdvisor ratings,so indeed we had high expectations from this one.The set up is good and cosy,however too dark.maybe they can light up the place at least 15% more.You don't feel if this is your typical Chinese fine dining restaurant. The look is more SE Asian/Thai (at least what i... More

Had a very pleasant business dinner here. Food is very good and staff attentive. One of the better places to eat and take 'western' diners too with local staff.

Very good food in a lovely building. Good service. The bar is on the ground floor and then there are two floors of dining area on the first and second floors. The dining area on the first floor seemed to have the better atmosphere than that on the second floor. The bar is not as glamorous as that on the... More

At first glimpse, Lost Heaven feels like exactly that - a utopian oasis hidden in the middle of Shanghai. This stylishly decorated restaurant, filled with fresh flowers, candlelight and reproduction antiquities exudes chic glamour from the moment you cross the threshold. Last year we ate at Lost Heaven on the Bund and this was our first excursion to the Gayou... More

Lost Heaven is my preferred venue when it comes to host guests visiting Shanghai - office colleagues or personal friends. Firstly, it is a very attractive venue in terms of decor & location and makes a great first impression for diners. Secondly, the menu is very well suited to diners who are not used to Chinese cuisine in terms of... More
