Editor's Description

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.

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.

Cantine wants to be a French Bistrot, however if you expect to dive into some French Bistrot athmosphere, this is not the place to go.
Food is OK, some kind French, dishes have a French touch to it however i wouldn't really say that it is French cuisine.
Finally, i remember ordering a bottle of wine then when it was opened and served, it was not the same as listed on the wine list.
Year was not the same as indicated and the wine which was supposed to be a Bordeaux Pomerol or something like that, cant really remember was some other cheap Bordeaux. When i complained to the staff, they had nothing better to say that they couldnt do anything about it and that was it, we had to take it.
Not a very good experience...

Wow I love their new concept !!!
Went there last night with a few friends an we had a really great diner.
The food was fantastic (don't miss the foie gras, and the calamaris stuffed with lamb), and at 158 RMB all you can eat tapas it is clearly the best value for money for western food in Shanghai at the moment !
The wine selection and sangria are very affordable too which make for an even more enjoyable night...
I would recommend booking in advance if you want to be sure to have a table though, as the place was completely packed yesterday.
Going back there very soon as unfortunately our apetite was not big enough for us to sample all of the 40 tapas :)

Well, I have been there once again 2 weeks ago and I definitively like the place. For me this is an excellente food for the prices. Always good quantities, very creative food, excellent products. The new menu is much better looking and the content is quite new. The decor is warmer now and rotating expos of paintings. AND a non smoking floor on the second floor. Also a good place by the way for dinners with colleagues or for celebration parties with friends as the second floor is perfect for this with the bar, view on the kitchen, and the sound quality makes it cool. So I don't comment so much usualy but when it is a good place then let's support the team their. I go their tonight again to try other new dishes Cyril and the team put in the new menu. Try the carpaccio of tuna, so good!
