The Living Room “Perfectly prepared coffee in a setting an English mum would love. Perhaps a bit on the twee side but it's a quiet, pleasant spot for a caffeine break.”

Munchies “The Cincinnati chili was spicy and more-ish, though we thought it odd that by default it only includes minced beef--no kidney beans unless you order it "five ways". The chili fries were absolutely fantastic--thick, wet and irresistable--though the chili covering them wasn't nearly as tasty as the Cincinatti chili, more like plain ground beef. Best chocolate milkshake we've had (so far) in Shanghai, reasonably thick and creamy though still not quite as strong a taste of chocolate as I would like. And the hot dog with sauerkraut, ketchup and mustard was a good match for a real New York dog. The chicken tacos were fine but paled in comparison to the rest. Thanks Munchies!”

Adobo Latin Flavor “Wow. We had the best Mexican food here we have had since our recent trip to Chuy's in Austin. We are also frequently in Mexico and the comparison is favourable. Great nachos and (soft) pork tacos, great beef burro, and absolutely killer margaritas. About 400RMB for four (strong) drinks and a brilliant Mexican dinner for two seemed fairly reasonable. Will be back for happy hour (after 10pm every night).”

Xing Fu 131 “Went for the catfish...though don't think I could have endured the 5 star spicy, at least not with the wife in tow. Three stars was plenty spicy and plenty delicious, though it's probably not my favourite kind of fish. The other sides were quite good--I think we had the "fried greengrocers", they didn't taste like any grocers I'd ever had. Need to get back to try those cold noodles.”

El Mexicano “Just ordered from their delivery service for the first time. Gorditas, a few tacos, a burrito, an enchilada. Fillings were green chicken (spicy!), carne asada, chicken and pork. Very authentic--made us feel like we were back in Mexico. All under Y100. And all "sabrosos". I am in heaven!”

Cafe Montmartre “Have to agree that the chef's daily specials are usually excellent, and they do a great croque. Also love their steak frites, though Des Lys seems to have a slightly better quality steak. Love the banquettes, the atmosphere is "tres congenial" but would be more so if it weren't usually a bit too empty.”
