A Shanghai-born success story, Brownstone started as a Spanish-accented cocktail bar in Surpass Court and now has multiple locations in Shanghai and neighboring cities. In the past few years they've restructured to being a straight-ahead, traditional tapas restaurant. Environment-wise, they trade in casual and approachable Spanish flare — good for dates and friends and family meals. The menu is classic tapas, paellas, and steaks with a few tweaks to appeal to local preferences. The menu as a whole is a double strategy with simple classic dishes — see: grilled Spanish lamb chops, Iberico ham, mountain rice Iberico pork rib paella, grilled vegetable and fig salad, Spanish ham creamy spring rolls, the requisite foie gras tapas dish — appealing both to Spanish transplants who are seeking flavors of home and to newcomers to tapas dining who aren't looking to be overwhelmed. Special deals every day of the week and don’t skip the house sangria.

As a Spanish tapas bar brand launched by the Hong Kong POETS Group, the first BROWNSTONE TAPAS BAR is located near the French-style Yongjia Court in Shanghai. Over the past ten years, BROWNSTONE has been developing steadily,from just 1 restaurant up to the present day 11 outlets operating under our combined brands, focusing on authentic Spanish cuisine and building product quality with care. As a Western niche cuisine, it has been well received by many diners and has opened several stores in Shanghai, Nanjing, Shenzhen and Hangzhou respectively.
