Last updated: May 4th, 2009
Cantine is a simple, semi-casual French eatery that borrows the "all you can eat" formula for a menu of forty-plus French tapas. Geared towards residents in the Jing'an district, it's part of the Loft98 complex that includes a related deli, Delish, and stylish "all you can eat" Japanese restaurant Shoka.

The all-u –can-eat option at Cantine is a great deal as there is a long list of different tapas size dishes to choose from. This was our second visit and we left thoroughly satisfied!
Of note, the best dishes were the scallop and beef carpaccios, croquettes, tuscan salad and grilled aubergine. Unfortunately, we were unable to try every single dish on the menu but in general, of the many we did try, the food was consistently good.
Cantine is a great place with friends especially as this allows you be able to try many dishes. Service is prompt, friendly and relaxed. In terms of overall experience, I rank this place very high on my list and I look forward to another visit.

We wanted something different and based on a combination of good reviews and a curiosity of what French tapas was, we opted for the all you can eat option. In the end, we managed to get through countless numbers of tapas and 2 bread baskets, leaving thoroughly satisfied with the place.
The highlights were the scallop & beef carpaccio, potato gratin, seared snapper filet, salmon pie and the tuscan salad. Most of the dishes totally exceeded our expectation. The less impressive were the beef rib eye skewers, duck confit and shrimp balls. We just felt they were not as tasty as the other dishes not that the quality wasn't as good.
The food came promptly and service was very friendly albeit we were there very early in the evening and thus, the only customers. There is a very casual yet cosy feel to the place.
Overall, the all you can eat deal is good value and I would happily go again to try out the remaining tapas. It'll be interesting to see what the atmosphere and food is like when the place is more busy.

Thats was a shame that I never went there before despite my house is in front of the restaurant !
Anyway, i was with 3 friends, we all chose the "All you can eat french tapas" and we were not disappointed at all !
All the dishes were very good, cooked in a traditionnal way, some camembert, duck "magret", seafood, carpaccio ...
We ordered a lot of stuff because we were really hungry so we can say that for 188RMB per person , you can really eat a lot !!! This set comes with one drink.
I will definitely go back there. I recommend it to everyone.
Service was good, the waiter can speak perfect english and a little french.
Atmosphere and decoration is pretty nice too !
Nothing else to say ! Just try it , that will change a bit all your Teppanyaki experiences !!!

Their menu has been chosen insightfully. It has modern, experimental dishes as well as traditional dishes. From the taste and the menu the place seemed genuine, not the willy-nilly mixture of sensational ideas that you find at many mid-priced European restaurants in Shanghai.
I heard from cityweekend that they have a "melt-in-your-month" tiramisu, wow yes it is!

I do like the musics were played around in this cute restaurant, the waiter runs more than 6 times to find me the name of my favorites, appreciate! it was also very interesting that had been shared by the manager a little story for where the word "bistro" comes from. food was fantastic except a bit more salt on the salad and they provide a french-gastronomie leveled service .

Don't remember which date but it was definately a weekend with full of people there. after 15 minutes drinking at bar, we\'ve been guided to a window seat which is the only one here:). all you can eat tapas seems to be a unique and inspired concept in Shanghai with a reasonable price but finally ordered the tasting menu from a common opinion of everybody.70% are French and my friends were enjoying the food for its both quality and quantity. I'm especially impressed by a french?Chinese?boy who is the manager of the restaurant (looks 22 age...so young), he plays skillfully with a decanter when I ordered the Gigondas, it's a kind of performance you can see only in Paris and New York, after the short dialgue with him, I got known that he is a Chinese but who speaks perfect english with full of french accent! and used to work in south of france for a long time. being satisfied by a bottle which costs you at 300, I'm sure it is the only place you can find around the world. we will come back one day.
