One of the best food experiences while in Shanghai: Restaurant Elixir Health Pot (5. June 2017)

The restaurant was located close to the hotel we resided in and we had passed by a couple of times before we decided to dine here the last evening of our stay in China. Booking a table turned out to be a bit trickier than expected – notwithstanding the payment process. But more about that […]

Amazing Italian coffee in a very artsy neighborhood: UNDEF/NE (5. June 2017)

Amazing Italian coffee in a very artsy neighborhood: UNDEF/NE (5. June 2017)

Frankly, this is probably an area I would never have ended up in if it wasn’t for a friend. The M50 is a space for various artists having their own shops and displaying their art – and while it is rather remote and most cab drivers don’t want to take you there, it is really […]

Nice place to enjoy a drink in the French Concession: Funkadeli (4. June 2017)

Nice place to enjoy a drink in the French Concession: Funkadeli (4. June 2017)

The Funkadeli is a nice little café offering a decent selection of drinks – a “Moscow Mule” accounts for 60 CNY. If you’re lucky you find a space outside where you can enjoy the weather – in case it is not raining – outside. The waiters are friendly and helpful but you also have to […]

When you keep ordering, confusing the waiters: Restaurant Whampoa Club (4. June 2017)

When you keep ordering, confusing the waiters: Restaurant Whampoa Club (4. June 2017)

The place was recommended to us as it was something which offered Chinese dishes but was also open around 4pm when most restaurants would be closed. While the concept at the restaurant is that everyone orders something and then all share we somehow – given we were incredibly hungry – decided to not really follow […]

A surprisingly great vegetarian brunch buffet: Restaurant Jen Dow Vegetarian Buffet (4. June 2017)

A surprisingly great vegetarian brunch buffet: Restaurant Jen Dow Vegetarian Buffet (4. June 2017)

Frankly, when I entered the place I wasn’t aware that the offering was purely vegetarian at first – given a lot of stuff was fried and described in a way so you would not be sure what exactly you’re having. While I then only figured later that the selection was purely vegetarian, I must say […]

Cool clubbing location with largely local crowd: The Apartment (3. June 2017)

Cool clubbing location with largely local crowd: The Apartment (3. June 2017)

The Apartment is a club with various floors – if you plan to come here on a Saturday or Friday I would highly recommend you to make sure you’re on the guest list as else you have a good chance of not getting in. At first, the place is relatively quiet but at some point […]

Definitely one of the better breakfast places: Restaurant Tops & Terrace @ Twelve at Hengshan (3. – 5. June 2017)

Definitely one of the better breakfast places: Restaurant Tops & Terrace @ Twelve at Hengshan (3. – 5. June 2017)

The breakfast at the Restaurant Tops & Terrace belongs to the better ones I’ve tried so far. To be entirely honest, with a solid 292 CNY for one person it is also at the upper price level, therefore, you should be able to expect quite something. But you won’t be disappointed as the selection really […]

Former St. Regis but not at the top of its glory anymore: Restaurant Saints @ The Hongta Hotel, A Luxury Collection (27. May 2017)

Former St. Regis but not at the top of its glory anymore: Restaurant Saints @ The Hongta Hotel, A Luxury Collection (27. May 2017)

Apparently, the Hongta Hotel was the first St. Regis in Asia – unfortunately, there is not too much of that former glamor left. The hotel itself is definitely functional and I can’t complain about the suite upgrade but you can easily see that the hotel exists already for a couple of years. However, I was […]
