2017-05-11 ShanghaiWOWeng

Here is our list of the best Western specialty boutiques and shops in Shanghai. Whether you are looking for imported meats, cheeses, sauces, wines, whatever. They’ve got you covered and they do it with friendly managers, great products, and amazing prices! 


MAISION TRAITEUR

FRENCH DELICACIES



Gourmet paradise, Maison Traiteur has everything you’ve been dreaming about (if you are a cheese and meat lover). It’s all made with lots of love and passion, and all in-house, at honest prices. If you’re a food safety freak, we’re happy to tell you we’ve even visited their kitchen and it passed our unofficial inspection. Delivery is possible through their wechat (LaMaisonTraiteur). For those who are too lazy to travel out to their HongQiao spot, they just open a venue in More Than Eat.   


Address: 3213 Hongmei Lu, 1/F Room G, 758 Julu Lu at More Than Eat 

Time: Daily 10am-8pm


SPROUT LIFESTYLE

ORGANIC GROCERIES



Sprout lifestyle is total heaven for health conscious foodies. First floor has nuts, superfoods, books, make-up, grains… all related to healthy lifestyle and an organic spirit, plus a booth for Better Bentos (and we’ve told you may times how much we love them).  The second floor is dedicated to Happy Buddha! Agreeable fresh and sunny venue to regain that occasionally elusive inner peace. 


Address: 388 Shaanxi Nan Lu

Time: Daily 9am-10pm 


RAKIABAR

RAKIA(SERBIAN ALCOHOL)



Do you know about Rakia? Well you should! Rakia is a traditional alcohol from Serbia you are going to love. Strong as hell but full of subtle flavors and a slightly sweet finish. To complete your geographic education and please your palate, head for Rakiabar! They’ll even let you have a try before selecting the flavor you want to bring back home.


Address: 255 Wuyuan Lu

Time: Daily 11:00am - 8:00pm


LITTLE CATCH

FISH/SEA FOOD



We all love fish but getting a great cut can be tricky sometimes in China for many obvious reasons. At Little Catch (Wulumuqi Lu venue only) you can find frozen imported seafood. Actually the girls from Little Catch used to be exclusively a seafood import spot before launching their wildly successful restaurant. Now they are both, and you can trust their products!  


Address:  247 Wulumuqi Zhong Lu, No 6

Time: Daily 10am-9pm 


HOT BOX 

SPICY SAUCE



These guys are nuts with spices and they are willing to spoil us with their unrelenting passion for the heat. Come check out the sauces and shoot the breeze with them (because they are super cool and friendly). They truly believe that for every person, a very special spicy sauce exists. Great time and a spice learning experience for sure, 100% guaranteed. One more tip: bring a beer with you, to “appease your palate.”


Address: 273-4 Jiaozhou Lu, near Xinzha Lu

Time: Daily 12pm- 9pm 


AVOCADO LADY

EVERYTHING



Come on, do we really have to tell you about avocado lady? Did you just move here or something? Everyone knows about Wulumuqi lu’s angel, providing us with convenient and inexpensive imported food options.  


Address: 274 Wulumuqi Zhong Lu

Time: Daily 7am- 9pm 


JUST COOL/BEER LADY

BEER



Tired of buying qingdaos for RMB50 at whatever posh bar just opened? Just Cool and Beer lady are two excellent options if you want lots of… well, options. Just Cool has hundreds of imported beers, and Beer Lady 2 has more than 3,000. Most beers at both spots are around RMB20-30, and are so laid back you’ll never want to leave.  


Beer lady

Address: 1693 Yan'an Xi Lu, 455 Fahuazhen Lu

Time: Never stops  (no for real though, open 24 hours a day)


Just cool

Address: 291 Panyu Lu

Time: Daily 10am-11:30pm 


JUST GRAPES

WINE




For a more mature palate, Just Grapes is the spot to grab some goodies, and by goodies we mean bottles of wine. The selection is huge, the staff is friendly and they even give you great advice on which wines you might like (something many other places surprisingly don't do). 


Address: 462 Dagu Lu, 162 Anfu Lu

Time: Daily 10:30am-11pm 


SWISS BUTCHERY/MY BUTCHERY/NICOLSON

MEAT



Imported meats, roasted chicken, sausage, short ribs…  My Butchery is famous for its mouth-watering meats and we love them. They have a great reputation in town, so if you don’t take our word for it just ask around. Highly recommended for any carnivores. FYI: after choosing your meat you can have them grill it there on the spot, or bring it back home and cook it yourself.

CHEESE



The place is a total paradise for Italian cheese lovers. La Formaggeria offers one of the biggest collections of cheese in the city. They also stock organic pine honey that comes straight from the Italian bees. There’s even a home delivery option (with a minimum order of RMB200 + RMB30 for the shipment).
