5 yrs of eating in Shanghai. Just when you think you got it, everything changes... My current passion is making my own bread. Sweet breads full of nuts, spices, maple syrup, nutty textures and good healthy flours. Really looking for two things now: Great breakfasts and afternoon tea/cakes. Any suggestions?Justin's Favorite Restaurants

Bubba's Texas-style Bar-B-Que and Saloon
“I always found the meat to be far too dry and too much sauce. Nothing special. I normally leave feeling heavy. Been twice. Wont go back.”
Element Fresh
“Great location next to the park. If you sit by the window you forget you are in the 'hai. Salads are big and tasty. I just cycle through the 6 or so salads. The CowBoy breakfast almost hits the spot... Service is good. This is my regular place for salad and the odd breakfast. Nice fruit drinks and blends. Get a member card as the points add up quickly!”
Boxing Cat Brewery
“Reasonably good food - great with drinks. Burger is massive. Now the home brew beer is why you really want to come here. Pool table on the top floor with some tight corners which can make games a tad more interesting. They even have a dart board. Nice patio on the 3rd floor for a group of friends to catch up. Good music. Often have live bands as well. ”

“*** CLOSED DOWN ***
Suspect too much competition from Wagas. For some reason was never really busy.
Not a bad place for a good hot chocolate and a reasonable quick fix French pastry. A little on the pricey side though.

“I used to eat here quite a bit when I first came to Shanghai. Some great dishes combined with some mediocre dishes. Have not been back in 2 years. An easy introduction to Shanghai food for those fussy Americans. ;-)”
