Good Eats and Drinking in Shanghai?

I have a friend who is going over th Shanghai for business and needed suggestions for eating and drinking places. He likes pubs and a good, hearty meal.

All suggestions are welcome.

There is an unreal number of dining options in Shanghai.

Get him to check some of the expat mags when he gets over there for the latest DL.

I feel odd plugging a Mexican place, but Cantina Agave has a killer location in the middle of the French Concession with a good people-watching patio right on Fumin Lu. It’s pretty expatty…but good drinks and food at decent prices (as far SH goes, at least). This was last year. Places and quality of eateries in SH changes monthly, especially the more higher end stuff.

I also highly recommend heading over to either the Jin Mao Tower or the World Financial Center. The Park Hyatt has hotels in both with lounges on the 87th and 93rd floors, respectively. Great place for a drink with a view.

Ahhh…I miss it…

Too many choices. Can your friend narrow down his hotel or what area?

I don’t know where he is staying and I don’t think he knows as of yet.
