    Editor’s Description

    Last updated: Jan 21, 2022
    Southern Barbarian is a casual, somewhat bohemian restaurant that specializes in the exotic and diverse cuisine of China's Yunnan province. Dishes feature ingredients like goat cheese, fresh herbs, tropical flowers, and chili peppers. For the more adventurous, there are dishes like fried honey bees with dried beef. The owner is quite the beer enthusiast and stocks craft brews from the US, Australia, Belgium and more. The upstairs portion also serves as a lounge/art gallery.

    Time for an OG to shake things up
  • Smartreviews

    • Being relatively new to Shanghai I’m slowly building my knowledge on the different Chinese cuisines. I think many would agree that sometimes choosing where to go can be a bit overwhelming given the number of restaurants that feature from each region. Sometimes you just have to take a punt! This week I went to explore some Yunnan style cuisine located just off Changle and Maoming.

      Complete the maze and you will find yourself in a space with quirky décor and an open-style kitchen. The menu has an extensive selection of dishes from Yunnan province, well annotated with English descriptions (although I think a picture of a scorpion is pretty self-explanatory). Pescatarians, vegetarians, vegans, people with stomachs of steel; you will find something on that menu that will cater for you. Keen to try honey bees, three bug platter or woodworms - you’re in luck!

      The dishes we tried certainly showcased the signature spice-rich flavours you expect with Yunnan cuisine. Prices are very reasonable but as a total dining experience there was something missing.

      Dishes of mention:

      Fried Yunnan goats cheese – lightly crisp texture with a soft centre

      Banana flower salad – hot and sour, but beware it’s a game of spice roulette

      Super hot prawns – a little sweet with good heat. The Yunnan chillis had my companions in the sweats.

      From what I hear this place has been a crowd favourite for years and I while I don’t like to criticize an OG I think they need a shake up. I can look past atmosphere and service if the food is outstanding but unfortunately this wasn’t the case.

      If you want a place that’s not too pricey and caters to the masses look no further.

      Price for 2: 250 RMB
