A Future Perfect

Tucked away in a lane, A Future Perfect is one of the growing number of venues in Shanghai that tries to make you forget where you are. A garden/patio out back is quiet, tree-lined and star-studded. Food is hit or miss.

Element Fresh (Shanghai Centre)

This newly refurbished rendition of Element Fresh has a lounge-like second floor but is otherwise the same. Open kitchen, fresh food, noticeably clean, slow service, pricey.

Amokka Cafe

This cafe/restaurant/wine bar serves light American fare such as sauteed fish and pasta dishes. Upstairs the ambiance is cozy, with an inviting fireplace as the centerpiece and soft couches to lounge on if you're there for a beverage.

Cafe Mojo

Small laneway cafe typical of the cafes in these lanes, the difference for this cafe is that it serves vietnamese coffee.

Sasha's

Sasha's serves a variety of American-esque foods, including some of the better pizza in Shanghai. Equally spacious indoor and outdoor portions of the restaurant. Cocktails rotate on a seasonal basis. Weekend brunch leaves something to be desired.

Abbey Road

Named after that little street those wacky Beatles trotted across, Abbey Road has become one of the most popular summer venues in Shanghai. With patio seating, cheap beer on tap and lots of (at times unfortunate) classic rock, this bar/restaurant is ..

La Creperie

La Creperie does indeed serve crepes. From hum-drum Nutella filled dough to the tangy seafood/salad crepe, main courses run the gamut. Some crepes are more successful than others, but the all wood decor, fully bar and English speaking servers make fo..

Colours

If you sit in the middle of the tree-fringed patio and ignore your peripheral vision, Colours Bar and Restaurant at the Ruijin Guest House almost feels like Central Park. With trickling streams of water drowning out Shanghai's noise pollution, this i..

Whisk

Don't just walk by this little spot on Huaihai Lu, near the Changshu subway station. Tucked off in a little alley amidst the glitzy furniture stores, Whisk offers midday cuisine such as warmed paninis, as well as entrees and a wine menu. Desserts are..

Cotton's

Cotton's chilled-out villa atmosphere is also the place to go if you're not used to Chinese food and don't plan on becoming acclimated. They've done a good job of creating a pretty spot deep within the French Concession where foreigners can feel like..

Vienna Cafe

Cakes, muffins, scones and myriad other baked goods are the big draw at Vienna cafe on tranquil Shaoxing Lu. Thursday night movie screenings are a bonus - the cafe shows everything from European Indie Films to American Oscar nominees.

Colabo

Acceptably-priced Italian joint in the French Concession with minimal frills and pretty good pizza. Colabo is located in a renovated house pushed back at the end of a tree-studded lane.

Arugula

A white sign on Fuxing Lu points you into the alley where you'll find Arugula's friendly orange building. Downstairs is a bit cramped but upstairs is a spacious cozy atmosphere. The brunch menu is the best deal but all the food is worth a go. There a..
