A perfect outdoor dinner at A Cote.

Bistro Le Saleya - A pleasant outdoor lunch

The only thing missing at Le Saleya's outdoor patio on a sunny day are the singing cicadas for immediate teleportation to the south of France.

Sneak Peek - Johnnie Walker House

{More on my Facebook page!}

Sometime ago, I had the chance to visit the Johnnie Walker House in Sinan Mansion, the first (and currently only) Johnny Walker House outside Scotland, which was created as a space for whiskey lovers to learn and experience the brand. 

Tenya Twenty Two - A very special meal

{More on my Facebook page!}

Wow, this is certainly one dinner to remember, one of the best I've had in Shanghai till now.

I had been to Kappo Yu a year ago and left unimpressed so I wasn't very enthousiastic about trying Tenya Twenty Two. And upon walking into the restaurant, I felt slightly intimidated by the lack of people (only 2 other customers) and the decor. I am not a big fan of the black-goldish interior but I must say it sets a particular mood: the lack of window makes one loose track of time and sitting at the bar in front of the chefs, I really felt like eating with the gods.

Fat Elephant Thai Cooking Class

{More on my Facebook page!}

The Fat Elephant was started by 3 thai women who grew tired of Shanghai's bad Thai food and hoped to change things by sharing some true taste. Through their new venture, they organize cooking classes for small groups in a homey and friendly atmosphere.

Nene - A tasty meal

I visited Nene for the first time last weekend, the new kid on the block located next to Shiva, The Apartment, Shelter...

Half traditional italian trattoria, half New-York hipsterish 

Lunch or late dinner at Mr & Mrs Bund - A deserved reputation

{Like my Facebook page!}

Located in the prestigious Bund 18 building, Mr & Mrs Bund is one of Shanghai's fine dinning institutions and even made it to the 7th position of the Miele ranking last year. I could go on but the "modern eatery by Paul Pairet" actually really doesn't need an introduction.

The decor: 90's Starck meets Alice in Wonderland...
