Three floors on a quiet lane in the old French Concession. The menu reads like a magazine — cocktails named after Chinese cities, built from local ingredients.
It sits in Shanghai, and rewards going slowly rather than ticking it off. Mornings and late afternoons are kindest — softer light, fewer crowds.
Good to know
- Arrive early for the light
- Allow more time than you think
- Keep a few yuan in cash, just in case
