Food Streets

Huanghe Rd

Shanghai’s bustling food streets–jam-packed with snack talls and jostling diners eating on the move- have dwindled on the back of galloping development and more demanding palates. The handful of  central food streets resting the times include Huanghe Rd north of Renmin Square, which remains a favourite for noodles and rouchuan. The section of Yunan Rd linking East Yan’an Rd and East Jinling Rd is a futher bustling strip of vocal kebab-sellers and snacks. For a full-on array of local snacks, trawl Wujiang Rd runing south of West Nanjing Rd and divided by Shimen No1 Rd.

Top Romantic Spots

The food can be excellent, but ever-persent waiting staff and the blinding lights of many Chinese restaurants can kill of a romantic soiree before the first drink arrives. M on the Bund concojures up just the right balance of choice setting and intimacy, while an escargot’s throw away, Jean Georges casts just the right sort of romantic magic over dinner. East of the river, Danieli’s delivers delicious nocturnal window-side views over to twinking Lujiazhui.
