19. STONESAL

One of the Top Fine Dining in Shanghai

£84Western-styleOpen Late

真诚7577The steak is thickly cut, and one steak is divided into 5 slices. Although the steak itself is served with 3 sauces, I prefer sea salt + pepper, and I can still taste the original flavor of the steak. The surface of the grilled steak is dark brown, but the inside is still pink and tender. The fat is very full. It doesn't taste dry but very tender.

TC_LauThe main attraction is the scenic view especially at night. The restaurant can be a bit crowded especially during the evening, but if you have the time you could come earlier and have a chill time drinking at your favorite spot. The food in my opinion is above average but not fantastic. Based on my observation the place is definitely popular among the expatriates, where you see people from various nationalities hanging out and having a good time.

M86***23Don't miss this treasure restaurant I thought I was just passing by Anji to play for a few days, but I didn't expect to be so addicted to it. The scenery was so beautiful. I went to Yunshang Grassland on the first day and Dazhulin on the second day. The scenery was different every day. I also asked about a famous local restaurant. Alujia also left a very deep impression on me! This table of rich food is equivalent to dry pot yellow beef, which is their main food. The portion is very large, and the beef tastes quite delicious! I prefer bamboo tube glutinous rice. The steamed glutinous rice is soft, sweet, and has a faint date fragrance. It is very unique! Egg yolk pumpkin, wrap the egg liquid on the pumpkin and fry it crispy and delicious, and the taste is quite delicious! I was attracted by the rich food in this restaurant. Every food is unique, the serving speed is also very fast, it is convenient to park at the door, the parking space is very spacious, and parking is charged separately! #Anji Alujia #Anji Tourism #Anji Raiders #Anji Food #Niche Tourism

24. YI LONG COURT

One of the Top Fine Dining in Shanghai

£66Cantonese CuisineChinese style

Henry_z212[Taste] It feels like the taste of Cantonese cuisine in my impression. Every dish has the taste you can imagine. There is nothing wrong with it, and there is nothing particularly outstanding. It is suitable for business banquets. Every dish will not go wrong, and it is quite fresh. [Environment] The environment is excellent. It is on the second floor of the Peninsula Hotel, next to the Bund. There are very few people. There are only two tables in the entire hall. It is very quiet. It may be noisy if there are more people. [Service] 16 tax + service charge, which is normal service

食神牛The location of the restaurant is very good. Most of the windows and open-air seats are facing the Oriental Pearl Tower, especially after the lights are turned on at six o'clock, it is more dazzling and charming. The reception is very friendly. Check the reservation and guide the arrangement. Sit down and pour lemonade. The restaurant is large and has many square tables and booths. There are also several private rooms on the side. The decoration is European and fashionable with a touch of retro, very elegant and noble. Informed in advance that the table has been decorated for birthdays, and the bears and balloons can be taken away. The menu also has the word birthday, and the environment and atmosphere are very warm. The 888 yuan group purchase of 2-3 people on a certain audio platform is very large. The appetizer bread was served first, the signature onion bread with butter, the bread is quite large, the onion grains on the surface are crispy and slightly crispy, and the soft middle is sandwiched with butter and is quite delicious. The classic Caesar salad is a bit bland with only vegetables and dry bread. Morton's Signature Seafood Combo (double serving): half a Boston lobster, freshly boiled in ice water, it is still relatively tender. Deep-sea tuna sashimi, half-cooked, slightly marinated, tender and smooth, with avocado. 2 pieces of Australian Coffin Bay oyster sashimi, the oysters are small, fresh, tender, soft and delicious, and they taste great with sauce and chili sauce. 2 pieces of Jumbo Tiger Prawns, the backs are opened and the shrimp threads are removed, they are firm and tender. Crab salad, the crab meat is quite tender and fresh. Siberian caviar with muffins 10 grams, small muffins, with onions, cheese, cheese, chopped green onions, basil sauce, mixed together to eat caviar is not so fishy but not so fresh. Boston lobster bisque, pumpkin is mixed with the taste of lobster shells, salty, sweet and slightly fishy. French cream mushroom soup is rich, mellow and fresh. Morton's signature Australian aged ribeye steak 400 grams, the steak is quite thick and big, the surface is a little old, the middle is quite tender and juicy, slightly fat and tough, the waiter will sprinkle freshly ground black pepper and sea salt on the plate before eating. Boston lobster ravioli, covered with cheese and shrimp, with a rich and milky soup, thin and tough ravioli skin and crispy and fresh vegetable filling. Three side dishes, Parmesan cheese truffle fries, roasted treasure asparagus, and fried mushrooms, tasted and packed, and they all tasted good. For dessert, I chose Morton caramel pudding, with chocolate writing Happy Birthday and candles, the caramel was thin, crispy and sweet, and the pudding was soft, smooth, and rich in egg and milk. I also ordered mulled wine for 48 yuan and cola for 48 yuan. The set meal was free of service charge, and a 10% service charge was charged for alcohol and beverages. The overall taste and ingredients were good, and the set meal was large enough for two people to eat. The environment and landscape are great, especially suitable for romantic celebrations of anniversaries and birthdays. The service attitude of the waiter is also very good, enthusiastic, meticulous, timely and thoughtful. The only drawback is that the speed of serving and removing dishes is too fast, the rhythm of the meal is not well grasped, and the order of serving dishes is a bit messy.

Carol 旅聲筆記🌟Shanghai local cuisine with one Michelin star 🍎The portions of their dishes are small, so be sure to make a reservation! The location is suitable for 4-6 people. The seat is not big (B5), but the service is pretty good. Water will be poured all the time. It is not bad if you are treating guests. 🦀Crab Meal Bibimbap (199 yuan for 1-2 people) This is really good if you can order small portions. If there are not many people, the waiter will help divide the mixture after mixing. It is good for four people to have a small taste. 🍗The braised pork (27 yuan per serving) is for one person. If you don’t want to be too tired, you can share one piece for two people. The waiter can also help cut it. If you eat a small amount, it will feel good and it will feel more refined. 🍲The lion's head (1 portion 27 yuan) is also served per person and comes with soup. If you don't order the soup separately, this is a good treat and tastes relatively light. But the food was served very slowly. Even the pan-fried buns came and this one hasn’t been served yet. 👍The other dishes are also pretty good, and the taste is more memorable than the first time I ate it many years ago ⚠️Be sure to make a reservation! The queue on site started at 16:30 and ended up on the road until we came out at 19:30 after finishing our meal. 💰About 180 yuan per person
