Shanghai’s dining scene is ever evolving and recently bistros have been sprouting up throughout the city.
Largely modest and moderately priced establishments, they serve cuisines including Chinese, Italian and Spanish.
Here are six that have become trendy recently.
Bistro Vigne
The dimly lit European diner is housed in an old bungalow with a small yard on Xuhui district’s tree-lined Changle Road, popular for its bars and boutiques. The cosy interior – its walls covered in murals and artworks – makes for a perfect date night. It is mostly popular among younger couples and locals who come after work.
Dishes worth trying include beef Wellington (388 yuan/US$53), beef tartare (98 yuan), truffle-sautéed mushroom with soft-boiled egg (68 yuan), and roast chicken (128 yuan). It also has an extensive wine selection.
Average cost per person: 200 to 250 yuan
House 1, 1221 Changle Road, Xuhui
