Shanghai restaurants
The Shanghai dining scene is China's most international, and its restaurants also present an enticing spectrum of Chinese regional cuisines. From Yunnan mushrooms to backstreet xiaolongbao dumpling kiosks to molecular gastronomy, Shanghai has something for all tastes. Rapid growth means the restaurant industry remains fluid, however, with a high rate of openings and closures. As in most of China, mealtimes tend to be early, so it's best to be at your table before 8 pm—if you want to eat later, call ahead or risk a closed door.
