      While the service has built up a rep for arrogance (reportedly on the decline), the food here speaks for itself. The emphasis is on quality, not quantity. Guests select from the daily board which features simple bistro fare -- homemade terrine, simple meats, fish, salads -- done with a high level of attention of detail and quality. Deservedly, it's an icon among Shanghai's many French restaurants.
