The store is located in the core area of Shanghai where Eastern and Western cultures meet. Songjian combines French cooking techniques with carefully selected local seasonal ingredients to present exquisite, delicious and unique food.
The various dishes are presented as exquisite works of art, hoping that every guest will re-examine these familiar daily ingredients after tasting the restaurant's dishes, thereby gaining a new understanding of the unique flavor and culture of the region.
The delicious and chewy Boston lobster, the lobster broth made from shrimp heads and shells, and the secret shrimp paste XO sauce with tomatoes, the three lobster elements create a unified food texture here, accompanied by the distinct grains of Japanese Chida fragrant rice, worthy of being called The Pine's signature rice dish.
It is the previous Light and Salt. He has two other stores. This one has the highest positioning and the best reputation. It is located in a corner of Ruijin Intercontinental. It is quiet and peaceful. Under the swaying green shadows, it has a certain artistic conception. Under the sun, beside the pond, the Internet-famous terrace is lovely. It is a high-end fusion cuisine. This restaurant is really good in this aspect. The taste, cooking method and fusion are quite good. The aroma and taste are delicious. Several dishes are considered to be a little surprising. The service is also remarkable. It is warm and welcoming. It is indeed a good dining experience. It is worth a special visit.
I had the restaurant week set menu. The dishes were ok, especially the lobster part, which came with lobster sauce and rice. The M9 steak was also ok and quite tender. The service was also decent. The restaurant seemed a bit deserted during the epidemic, and the interior decoration did not have any special highlights. There was basically no night view at night, so this restaurant might be better for dining during the day. I looked at Alaka, but there were not many choices.
The most fusion western food in Shanghai [Introduction] My top 3 favorite western food in Shanghai. Only this restaurant is delicious among the restaurants of Light and Salt, but this one is really delicious! It is also one of the restaurants that I like to rank very high on the Black Pearl and Michelin lists. [Environment] It is in the Ruijin Hotel, very beautiful. There is an Inter Continental next to it. You have to walk through a shade of trees before entering the restaurant. The decoration inside the restaurant is also very bright, which makes people feel happy. [Dishes] I will talk about two dishes I like: "Boston lobster with fragrant rice and XO sauce" I lived in Boston for 5 years before, and I don't have a special love for Boston lobster. But this dish surprised me, and the fusion with Chinese food was just right. The soup of the soaked rice was so fresh that I thought of the appearance of the Chinese chef. "Bread with butter and Marille apricot sauce before the meal" This is my most favorite dish, and I asked the waiter to pack an extra portion for me. It is full of milk flavor. [Wine] I did wine pairing. You can tell the waiter that if you can't drink it, he can replace it with tea for you. [Service] The service is very warm. I also like the bathroom. It is worth mentioning that there is the pine's own power bank. This small detail makes me look at this store with a new eye. Finally, I wish you all a happy meal!
I just found out that Restaurant Week is this week. The Pine@Rui Jin, which I have been thinking about for a long time, is on the list. I hurried to check in. I sat down and asked for iced San Pellegrino sparkling water. The waiter came back and said it was sold out. Seeing our displeasure, he immediately brought us a bottle of French one for free. The bread was soft and fine, and delicious. The butter was already sprinkled with salt when it was brought up. After another displeasure, unsalted butter was immediately brought. After that, the foreign waiter cooked us all the way [grin] The appetizer made with cucumber as the base is cool and eye-catching, sweet and sour, and it is indeed the signature dish. The beef really melts in your mouth. Ginger is added to the sauce. It is bright in your mouth. I finished a piece and a half directly. The lobster is transparent, and the rice is made with lobster soup as the base. It is fresh and fragrant, but unfortunately the rice grains are a bit sticky, which can be seen from the photo. The last chocolate, with orange shreds and hazelnuts, opens up the taste layer, making the chocolate rich but not greasy. Perfect.
I always eat so much every time I come here, and I always come back because it is so delicious. One of the rare high-quality and cost-effective set meals in Shanghai. This time I had the winter special menu, and the king crab rice was amazing!
