Editor's Description
Last updated: November 18th, 2009
La Grange is an intimate French restaurant in its third act. When they opened in 2008, the food was fine-dining southwestern French and just about everything on the menu, down to the butter, was imported. Accordingly, prices were extravagant. In early 2009, they changed chefs and scaled back their both their prices and ambitions, but kept the handsome decor intact. They've since re-jigged the menu and the wine list, again, to make it even more affordable and added a bakery on the first floor.

If La Grange means "Absolute C***" in French, then these people have it spot on!
The venue is such a pleasant surprise, but you fail to notice much of the decor because from the walk in the service is as foul as the smell rising from the Huang Pu on a hot sweaty day.
The food is so severely overpriced, but you feel it's worth it because you've just spent half an hour trying to get the witless waiter to write down your order correctly. When the food finally arrives, you again get value for your money, because you need to chew like a Mongolian Yak before the pieces are small enough not to completely ruin your digestive tract. The taste brings us again back to the Mongolian Yak, because I am almost certain that the grass they eat is far more delectable than the sorry excuse for cuisine these cheaters serve!
I sent back TWO orders and not once did the owner/chef that runs the place come up to see what the problem is!
AVOID THIS PLACE IT'S FANTASTICALLY TERRIBLE!!

I ‘m usually more of a "form your own opinion – everyone has different taste kinda girl “. But this time I feel compelled to prevent people from having the worst possible dinner in Shanghai.
My friend and I went there, despite bad reviews, because those were outdated and we heard the chef had changed.
I won’t describe the whole dinner, as I can sum up everything in a few words: the food here is absolutely foul-tasting, scurvy, repugnant (just take your pick …). Saying La Grange offers fine dining is a blasphemy and that this is French cuisine an insult.
If you have a couple hundred rmb ( at the least )you were planning on spending at La Grange, I would suggest using it as scrap paper ,as it would be far more enjoyable . ( Or going to a decent restaurant … )

This is the second time I diner at La Grange, the first time was in 2008 autumn. The meals are still one of the best in SH, me and my wife really enjoyed this restaurant meals both times. The price is now a lot more affordable than before, the 388rmb menu was a very good suggestion. The staff was professional, they bring us the dishes with a quite good timing. Since they reduced the price for an equal quality food, I'm really looking forward to go there again !
