Best New Restaurants of 2017 So Far

2017-06-27 ShanghaiWOWeng

Time sure flies by doesn’t it? Need proof: we’re already half way through 2017. And as time has relentlessly marched onward, so too has the flurry of new restaurant openings in Shanghai. Here are some of our favorites so far this year. Also, just as a disclaimer, some of these soft opened at the end of 2016 and officially opened in 2017, so we’re going to count them anyway because they’re awesome. Deal with it.

 

Diner



Address: 145 Wuyuan Lu

Tel: 021 6416 1678

Hours: Monday-Friday, 10am-5pm [currently soft opening hours]


Taking up on one of the most primo corners in the French Concession, Austin Hu’s Diner is a throwback to the classic American diner, while nudging it into foodie-approved modernity with high quality and (often homemade) ingredients.

 

Cyclo




Address: 158 Julu Lu

Tel: 021 6390 0078

Hours:Bringing Vietnamese and Laotian dishes to Found158, the new Cyclo has some seriously good food. If you loved the first one, you’ll love the second.

Address: B1/F, 158 Julu Lu

Tel: 021 5386 2337

Hours: Mon closed, Tue-Thu, 4pm–12am, Fri 2pm-2am, Sat 11am-2am, Sun 11am-12am


Found 158 gave us a lot of things to be thankful for this year, and one of them has to be German craft brewery Zapfler. Strong German beers and excellent German bar food to accompany it (schnitzel, sausage etc). Add to that their beautiful venue interior and it’s a pretty solid place to spend an evening.

 

Homeslice

Tel: 021 5309 9332

Hours: Sun-Thu, 11am-midnight

Fri-Sat, 11am-2am


We’ve made no secret about the fact that we’re hopelessly in love with Homeslice. Their pizza is amazing, and you can get it at RMB20-30 per slice, or RMB150-230 for a full pie. They’ve also got cocktails, beers, and a fun venue to hang out with some buds. Good times.

 

Joe’s Pizza

Hours: Daily, 11am-10pm


2017 will forever be known as the year Shanghai got its pizza act together. Joe’s really threw down the gauntlet on how great pizza should look and taste. Their bustling little West Nanjing shop is one of our favorite places for a slice and a beer. Affordable pizza that tastes perfect, no sure what else you could ask for.
