    French bistro

    Good quality, good price, a little bit of France in Shanghai! You can find a French menu with French Bistro food. Well located and good atmosphere!

    Nice steaks

    This is a surprisingly affordable French restaurant that serves great food. I ordered an entrecote steak with sauteed mushrooms (on the side), a bottle of nice cabernet, and pot-de-creme. Delish.

    Pleasant lunch on the terrace

    It was a sunny day and lunch on the outdoor patio was pleasant even in 14 deg weather, other than for the cigarette smoke. We went for the 2-dish and 3-dish lunch specials, at 98 and 118 rmb respectively. The duck rillete was a little...More

    The heart of this neighborhood is the Jing'an Temple,
    while the main artery of excitement and entertainment

    Concession, the area has a similar draw for foreign
    residents but displays a more commercial character.
    Large, flashy malls, luxe residential high-rises and
    trendy nightlife areas can be found along West Nanjing
    Road, but areas off the busy street have the same
