Popot is a small French restaurant in Shanghai founded by chef Morgan Lotterie, who has worked in several Michelin-starred kitchens in Europe. The name comes from the French word popote, meaning simple, comforting food. Popot serves prepared French dishes in reusable glass jars, focusing on convenience, quality ingredients, and sustainability. Customers can return used jars for credit, supporting the restaurant’s eco-friendly approach. Morgan moved to Shanghai in 2015, later opening Popot as a way to combine his culinary background with a practical, everyday dining concept.
