A few notes from a trip last month. The French Concession makes Shanghai special.
- Jesse (Huaihai Lu): good home-cooking, simple and delicious.
- Franck (Hunan Lu): a Frenchman's bistrot with authentic fare, chalkboards and all; must be cozy on a cold winter's night. I asked Franck why he couldn't do the same in HK....
- Mr & Mrs Bund (Bund): honestly don't understand what the hype is all about; food is stuck in an early 2000s time warp. Keep it real, keep it simple, keep it fresh!
- Mercato (Bund): Jean-Georges latest venture in town; he keeps it real, simple and fresh. Enjoyed a couple of perfectly made Americanos at the bar.
- Goga (Dongping Lu): California diner with an Asian twist; big portions as you would expect. Small and fun; food was fine but need to return as head chef was on vacation.
