🇨🇳✨Shanghai Food Guide 2025

⭐️ 莱莱小笼

Crab roe XLB with thin skin and juicy fried chicken skewers.

⭐️ 阿嬷手作

Best milk tea I’ve ever had in my life. Soft, warm warabi mochi and refreshing coconut milk.

⭐️ APOLI ITABAKERY

Must try the bread and croissants.

⭐️ 九十葉

5 grades of matcha with gelato and drink options.

⭐️ 沪西老弄堂面馆

Super popular among locals, a very Chinese pop-themed store selling large intestine, pork liver and pork kidney noodles.

⭐️ White Fungus Baked Pear @ Yu Garden

Boiled throughout the day. Super comforting, not artificially sweet at all.

⭐️ 野人先生 Yeah Gelato

Popular gelato chain in China selling pistachio, hazelnut and other flavours.

⭐️ 小杨生煎

Hot and super juicy. It squirts out once you bite the skin off; very flavourful!

⭐️ CARINO BAKERY & CAFE

Located at the basement of malls, popular mid–high-end bakery chain. Get the butter rice cake and babka bread.

⭐️ Shanghai Disneyland

Tangled Tree Tavern is really good!

⭐️ Drinks

Would recommend Peet’s Coffee and Chagee.

... Read moreIf you're exploring Shanghai's vibrant food scene beyond the classic dishes, here are some extra tips from my recent food adventures. At Carino Bakery & Cafe, don't miss trying their unique butter rice cake and indulgent babka bread—you'll find these treats perfectly balance flaky pastry with rich, buttery flavors. Also, for tea lovers, 阿嬷手作 offers an exceptional milk tea experience paired with soft and warm warabi mochi; the subtle coconut milk refreshes the palate wonderfully. When visiting Shanghai Disneyland, make sure to stop by Tangled Tree Tavern for a delightful meal that combines whimsy and great taste. For those wanting to taste authentic, hearty local noodles, 沪西老弄堂面馆 is a must-visit, where dishes like large intestine and pork liver noodles are hugely popular with locals. As for desserts, don't overlook Yeah Gelato, a popular chain with distinctive pistachio and hazelnut flavors that add a creamy, nutty twist to your sweet tooth cravings. Over at Yu Garden, sipping on their famous white fungus baked pear—boiled to perfection and naturally sweet—is a soothing treat on chilly days. For coffee enthusiasts, Peet’s Coffee and Chagee in Shanghai offer freshly brewed beverages that perfectly complement your food journey. Whether you're a local or a traveler, these spots enrich your dining experience, bringing the best tastes of Shanghai’s culinary culture right to your table.
