amici
Views are suitably interesting at second-floor Amici,offering a voyeur’s perspective on the comings and goings in the hotel atrium below.As you’d expect of from a five-star facility,service is smart,if not yet sharp. Despite being the only patrons,we had to wait to be seated,and even after ordering, our appetizer took an age to arrive.Once it did [...]

Their food is fantastic. Rich curries with a brilliant balance of flavors, great breads,and the best chicken dish(kesari chicken)we’ve tried quite possibly anywhere.

New York Style Pizza
Shanghai’s pantheon of pizza had,up to a few months ago,all but one crucial style,the thick,greasy New York style slice.And while we love the Italian pies at Da Marco and Jimix,they don’t deliver to your door on a rainy Saturday,Nor do they deed four people .This is indulgent,cheesy comfort food of the most authentic sort,perfect when [...]
Rikyu
All-you-can-eat all but killed off quality Japanese food in this town,particularly when it comes to sushi,That’s why we were amazed to find the buttery toro and sweet,claean sea urchin at this Gubei Japanese restaurant. Rikyu isn’t cheap.but if one thing is worth paying for,it’s probably raw fish.Add:1665 Hongqiao Lu 6278 4688
