Editor's Description
Last updated: July 1st, 2009
Eduardo Vargas' highly successful comfortable eatery has become a brunch favorite among expats. Take off your shoes and eat sitting on the floor in a bundle of plush pillows, or head upstairs for normal tables. The chef's Peruvian origins are present in some of the main courses but Azul also offers American cuisine, such as blueberry pancakes and omletes.

A once great place for brunch has now disintegrated in terms of service, what's happen? The food is still value for money but no where near as good as it was. The service was in fact good when there was any service, on a busy Sunday 2 waiters is not nearly enough. Are the staff sharing the floor with Bambou? Waiting over an hour for a dish to come is ridiculous. Again the problem here is not the actual service but the slowness and lack of staff. There's something seriously wrong with the kitchen especially after being told the orginal dish we order is not available, this was after about 30 minutes of ordering it and to top it off when it came out 4 of the same dishes came out with different ingredients. The waiters were very nice though, hands off to them for keeping our whole table calm.

Perfect place to escape Chinese food and have delicious tapas (tapenade, hummus, spicy salads) with tasty wine. Cosy atmosphere & efficient service. A little expensive but worth it, especially for a date!

I can only really speak for azul's lunch deal, but for me it's the best in shanghai! the food is fabulous, and it's always a struggle to choose what to order because you don't want to miss out on some of the other dishes. and the value for money is incredible- 3 courses (including one my favourite desserts ever, the chocolate brulee!), plus a glass of wine and a coffee. really can't recommend it highly enough!

Had dinner there last Saturday night and I have 2 say -it was pretty good. Ordered 5 tapas and they were all very tasty - esp the garlic prawns.
Sangria was too sweet though and at 200rmb ( AUD), it was a little steep. Nice decor though -would return

Viva la Brunch
With a selection of Spanish and Western-style dishes available, the brunch at Azul Viva should appeal to the continental in all of us. Set menus range from 120rmb-150rmb and will get you a selection of omelets, freshly baked scones, muffins and fresh juices. We also hear that the blueberry pancakes are pretty good.until Sep 3

Mesa & Manifesto
A spacious former warehouse turned "all meals" venue, Mesa's Continental menu has suffered from an inconsistent kitchen. Still, it remains a firm expat favorite, though it's probably more for its excellent second-floor terrace and lounge and the well.. View listing »
Blue Chair
It wouldn't be Shanghai without a combination creperie and furniture gallery. Yes, at Blue Chair you can fill up on chocolate crepes and purchase a, um, blue chair. Desserts are all fine; "meal" crepes are often runny - and in all the wrong places. View listing »What's nearby

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. View listing »
