joeyqiuThe New Year's Eve dinner package + room check-in purchased this time was a great experience. The front desk manager Bob helped to arrange it in advance. During the check-in process, Bob also gave us a lot of thoughtful reminders. Although the New Year's Eve dinner was a set meal, the taste was very good. There were also dragon dance performances and intangible cultural heritage performances during the New Year.

173. 老洋房花园饭店(绍兴路店)

US$31Shanghai CuisineHistorical architectureCourtyardGarden restaurantWestern restaurantDistinctive architectureChinese styleInternational theme

食神牛The restaurant was originally Du Yuesheng's mansion. The front is not big and has a concierge. There are signs of excellent historical buildings hanging next to the door. There are also many members, integrity, excellent catering brands, etc. A few cars can be parked in the small courtyard, and there are also parking spaces along the street. If you are told that you are going to dine, you can park for free. There are several open-air view seats in the courtyard, and it is nice to have afternoon tea surrounded by green plants and sculptures. The small western-style building has three floors. The entrance is the reception hall, which is decorated in European classical style. The hall is very spacious and upright, and there is a view seat with floor-to-ceiling windows facing the garden. The reception was very enthusiastic and led to the seat, but no tea was poured. The service attitude is quite good and professional, and the dishes are served, the plates are removed, and the bone dishes are changed very quickly. The group purchase of Du Yuesheng Mansion • Garden House • Bolong four-person set meal is 658 yuan. The appetizer plate is pickled cucumber and peanuts, both of which are salty. Four cold dishes: Shanghai salad is dense, crispy and glutinous with a hint of milk flavor; Shanghai smoked fish is crispy, salty and sweet; black truffle shepherd's purse rolls are strong, salty, fresh, crispy and refreshing; shrimp with fermented rice wine is light, fragrant, salty, fresh and tender. The baked lobster with butter is small and not fresh, and the batter is so thick that it's like eating noodles. The slow-cooked beef is very dark in color and has a strong, crispy and salty flavor. The pork neck is fried with peanut sprouts. The pork neck is very tender and salty, and the peanut sprouts are crispy. Steamed yellow croaker with pickled mustard and bamboo shoots. The pickled mustard and bamboo shoots are fresh, salty, crispy and crispy, and the fish is slightly light, tender and crispy. There is not much crab roe in the crab roe tofu, and the tofu is tender and smooth. The thickening is too thick and sticky. The stir-fried seasonal vegetables and kale are crispy and the sauce is salty and sweet. The dragon bone is large and crispy in the green olive, cordyceps and dragon tail soup, and the soup is thick and fresh. The black truffle and beef fried rice is quite fragrant and salty, the beef is tender and the rice is loose and oily. The fruit is two slices of watermelon and two slices of cantaloupe, which are juicy but not very sweet. I also ordered mango juice for 128 yuan a bunch, which is sweet, thick and refreshing, but a bit expensive. The dishes are well presented, the color is average, the ingredients are seasoned, the lobster and crab meat tofu are not delicious, and the main thing is the environment and feelings.

174. 鮨玄日本料理(虹桥店)

加油干饭呀Longhu Paradise Walk's popular Japanese restaurant 🎏Sushigen🎏, the ¥298 set meal for two actually includes M9 Wagyu Sukiyaki, each piece is so big that it bursts out of the screen‼ ️Just ask you if you are afraid‼ ️ 🍲M9 Wagyu Sukiyaki🍲 is a genuine Kansai style, with a strong sense of ritual of frying first and then shabu-shabu. Only high-quality Australian Wagyu is used. I was really shocked when I picked up a piece! The tempting cut surface is covered with snowflakes, this pot is a sure thing! The lady serves the table and cooks carefully throughout the whole process, so you can sit back and enjoy the result. The butter is greased in the pan and the onions are sautéed, and a little Sukiyaki sauce is poured on the bottom of the pot. The XXXL beef shrinks instantly after being put into the pot, and only two pieces are put in to fill the entire bottom of the pot. The meaty aroma is too strong, and finally dipped in the soul mate raw egg liquid, the sweet and smooth rich taste will make you fall in love with it! In addition to the meat, vegetables and udon noodles should also be arranged. The bubbling steam warms the stomach and the heart. 🍔Foie Gras and Wagyu Burger🍔 is full of secrets. The luxurious CP of Japanese hamburger meat and tender fried foie gras is topped with a generous amount of caviar to enhance the flavor. The fat but not greasy foie gras is really tender and melts in the mouth. Accompanied by the tender and juicy Wagyu beef, the meaty aroma permeates the mouth after chewing carefully, and the sweet and crisp apples can just relieve the greasiness~ In addition, there are fresh sashimi shipped by air. One portion can satisfy the Japanese food connoisseurs. The sweet and sticky Arctic sweet shrimp and the chewy and smooth Arctic scallops are really meaty when you eat them~

小蜜桃爸爸爱遛娃South Beauty is a well-known Chinese catering brand, specializing in Sichuan cuisine. There is a branch in Shanghai Lujiazui Zhengda Plaza, which is called South Beauty Fashion Kunqu Restaurant. The environment inside is quite Chinese style. There is also a small stage in the lobby area. It is said that they can sing Kunqu Opera. The environment of this store in Zhengda Plaza is also very good, because it is next to the Huangpu River, and you can enjoy the scenery of the Huangpu River while dining. For dishes, I like Jiangnan mouth-watering chicken, signature crispy chicken and boiled beef. The mouth-watering chicken is quite tasty. The mouth-watering chicken here is cut into shreds; the crispy chicken has a very crispy skin and the chicken is very tender; the boiled beef is large in quantity, and the beef is marinated very well. When I came on weekdays, I also sent snacks and yogurt, and the service was good.

YANGBOSANMy mother wanted to buy rice cakes in Qibao Old Street, so she came here to eat. After much searching, she chose this restaurant. She didn't have high expectations, but was pleasantly surprised! Environment: It's very big. The two entrances are actually one store, and the upstairs is also connected. Service: We wanted to sit upstairs so we could see some scenery, but we couldn't see much. Even though there were many empty seats downstairs, we were allowed upstairs. The food was served very quickly.

可爱的旅途88Let's go to Fuluju to get a good luck for the Chinese New Year. Environment: The seats in the hall are rather cramped, and it's not very convenient to talk. The layout is quite festive. Service: During the Chinese New Year, the restaurant was packed, so I won't comment on the service. The overall taste of the dishes is light, which is in line with personal preference. | Thick-edged Fat Barbecue Pork^ The barbecue pork was cooked well, but the taste seemed to be lacking, and the meat was not the most fragrant when chewed. | Kirin Steamed Grouper Balls^ The taste is good, with flower mushrooms and bacon slices on each piece of fish, and a thin layer of steamed egg underneath. | Shacha Fat Beef Roll^ Cantonese style, the shacha sauce is not spicy, and the seasoning is not salty, I like it very much. | Shredded Radish Crisp^ There are quite a lot of shredded radish in the filling, and the skin is crispy and thin, which is done well. | Spring Roll^ Overall it's quite ordinary. | Tangerine Peel Red Bean Paste^ A little sweet, the tangerine peel taste is not strong. Parking: Free 2 hours parking for consumption over 600.

Sandy0125When we got the menu, we wondered if the owner of the restaurant upstairs was the same as the one upstairs. But the waiter told us that it was not. The taste, dishes, environment and service were naturally compared with those of the restaurant upstairs. They were both high-end hot pot restaurants. We drank 3 bowls of chicken soup and were very satisfied. We had to pack up the black truffle clay pot rice to eat tomorrow. The advantage was that the environment was not so noisy and the space was larger. We received very good service.

181. RAC II

US$19Western-styleBrunchAfternoon Tea

大老鼠格蕾丝It turns out there is also a RAC on Shaanxi South Road. It happened to be nearby, so I came here for lunch. Knowing that it is very popular on weekends, I arrived a little earlier on purpose, but it turned out that there were already many people. Forget about the view seats, and I don’t want to share a table with strangers, so I have no choice but to sit at the bar. The bar is not bad, but once the weather clears up, the hot sun shines directly through the skylight above my head and it is a bit hot. Forget it, I have already sat down, so I might as well make the best of it. I ordered a combo and a coconut Americano. The combo is still very large and delicious, but I couldn’t eat it halfway, and I barely finished it. The coconut Americano is really good, refreshing, bitter with a hint of sweetness, very suitable for summer. I also really want to eat their boneless fried chicken, but I am afraid that I can’t finish it alone, so I will come with friends next time.

awu45No one can combine croissants and sports together - it has to be NUDAKE🥐🏃 The first floor is the most photogenic croissants, which is one of the biggest attractions for everyone. You can take photos and have a cup of hot chocolate or coffee when you are tired. There are also many landscapes on the second floor, the most prominent of which is this group of conjoined beauties with big heads. They will open their eyes from time to time. Don't be scared when you get close to them [dog head] There is a lucky draw on the third floor. Go and turn over a stone🪨. If you don't win the grand prize, just think of it as a contribution to performance art. There is also a terrace on one side for outdoor use, which is good for taking a rest, chatting, and taking photos! Tips: It is on Huaihai Road, and the transportation is quite convenient. If you have enough time, you can also go shopping along the way, go to TX, a few old brands, etc. If possible, try to come early on weekdays, there will be fewer people. You will have to queue up slowly on weekends.

一生平安Every dish in this restaurant is delicious, rich in oil and sauce. PS: You have to queue for dinner at noon. They don't accept late guests, so it's not easy to eat. You can also queue for a butterfly puff pastry at the "Harbin Food Factory" opposite.

186. XinGuang Restaurant FangLiang Xie Yan (HuangPu)

D了个YToday I checked in at a specialty store that I've been longing for for a long time, especially in this autumn season for eating crabs. After one bite, there's no other. The name is | Xinguang Restaurant Fangliang Crab Feast (Huangpu Branch) ^ The furnishings of the last century and the layout of that era, there is no trace of modernity, old tea, and aged vinegar, but for the traditional crab feast, it doesn't feel out of place |Drunken roe crab ^Wow, the taste is quite amazing, completely different from what I've eaten in other places, not that kind of simple taste, with an aftertaste, very addictive |Crab roe silver skin ^To be honest, I don't usually eat male crabs because the crab roe tastes too sticky, but this full pot is enough to fill you with all your imaginations about male crabs. You don't have to peel them one by one, just one bite to make you burst |Crab meat wontons ^The main dish is so overbearing that even if it's a small order, this small wonton is still full of content. With the combination of meat, it's not so sticky now. It's quite good to swallow it with a mouthful of clear soup.

US$16Shanghai Cuisine

RandyThis restaurant has been open for a long time. I ate here several times when my wife and I were dating. Now the kids are grown up. This time, a friend from another city came to visit and asked for Shanghainese specialties, so I thought of this restaurant. It turns out that parking is not allowed in the business building next door, so we can only park at New World Daimaru Department Store. The decoration is still very simple, with no major changes. The distance between the tables is also very small. The Shanghainese aunties and uncles still take orders, and we can chat casually. The dishes are authentic Shanghainese dishes, and the taste is also rich in oil and red sauce, with a slight sweetness. We ordered Shanghainese specialties and were very satisfied with the food. The only problem is that there are people smoking in the hall and there are quite a few people, and there is no staff to dissuade them. It was the same in the past. Either the door of the private room is closed, you can't smell it. Our trip was late and we didn't book a private room, so we could only finish this meal inhaling second-hand smoke.

The price of 118 is not low, and the dish combination is reasonable. Except for the stir-fried tender cauliflower, the taste exceeded expectations, there is nothing else to remember.

amydog🥒I ate a loofah as thick as a night-blooming flower 2023-8-2 I went to Songjiang temporarily and searched for a store near the business building I was going to. I only had a few minutes in a hurry, but I didn't make any mistakes. I am really excellent As soon as I entered, I was shocked by the business of this store. Such a big store was full of people. I saw the table turn over at least three times with my own eyes😬 [Environment] The store is very large. You will get lost if you go around. There are many areas, several of which are round tables, there is also a train seat area, and there is a private room area. It seems that there is also an upstairs There is a lot of greenery outside the window. This was taken around 2 o'clock after the meal. Photos, it's not an exaggeration to say that the place was packed when I arrived at 12:30. I didn't have the right to choose a seat at all. I was already happy to have the only small table. [Taste] |Home-cooked loofah^28, first time seeing this, it looks like the thick night-blooming loofah, I have to try it😂Sure enough, the taste is completely different from the usual ones in the city, very tender and fresh, indescribable, but really delicious, placed near Teacher Park, separated by a large iron pot of river three fresh, Teacher Park kept saying, let me help you get some more, Ai Xiaomi said a little bit of fake politeness, but it turned out that...after being blocked from view, Teacher Park had already eaten up a large bowl of loofah...... |Stir-fried chicken (small portion)^68, the chicken is indeed delicious, let's not talk about it, it was basically eaten up by Teacher Park😬I wanted to order steamed chicken, which is said to be the treasure of the store, but was told to make an appointment in advance because it needs to be steamed for three hours. If I go to this direction next time, I must make up for it |Three fresh river dishes in iron pot^98, three kinds of river dishes: yellow eel, river shrimp, and bullfrog. The bullfrog is very strong. This dish is basically eaten by Ai Xiaomi, hahahahahaha, a little expensive |Jinhua barrel cake^3.5, after eating one, Teacher Park said, it's delicious, Ai Xiaomi said, isn't this Jinyun sesame cake😅Teacher Park ordered two more... and then packed one away, there are People are so mean After paying the bill, I found out that I could have ordered a group purchase for 199. Several dishes I ordered were repeated. The group purchase dishes were more and cheaper. I cried. I lost another 100 million🙄 【Service】 The brothers were not from Songjiang. The key is that they couldn't understand Shanghainese at all. The service positioning was too bad. They didn't know who was the recommended dish. They had to recommend several large dishes, such as mullet roe This is a day of great nourishment, such thick loofah, and yellow eel🤣 Two people with really good appetites rushed to Songjiang University Town on a crystal hot day🤭 🚙You can park anywhere in the yard at the door, it's free

US$26Hot PotOpen Late

稳稳的幸福20211202Jiyou Congee Hotpot Restaurant is renovated from an old-style residence. Through the carved doors and windows and the gaps between the branches and leaves of the sycamore trees, you can feel the slow pace of life on the street downstairs. Unlike other hotpot restaurants, Jiyou uses white porridge as the base of the pot and only sprinkles a little salt. The taste of the hotpot is stimulated and blended by the ingredients chosen by the diners themselves. Aside from all kinds of fresh and fragrant seasonings, the freshness of the ingredients is very high. The seafood served on the table, such as the shrimp, is even fresh.
