Bull and Claw is Back!

2017-06-27 ShanghaiWOWeng

Bull & Claw is back! It’s bigger, better, faster and tastier - it’s Bull and Claw 2.0. In case you’ve never tried their delectable cuisine (shame on you),  here are some of their most popular dishes.


Wait Bull and Claw ?


You don’t know about one of the most popular names in the city? Ok, here’s the lowdown. Bull and Claw is the place to get awesome steak and great lobster for a decent price. Seafood dishes are usually overpriced in Shanghai, so Bull & Claw goes against the flow and makes it affordable for Shanghai’s foodies. Widely acclaimed by various media outlets, Bull and Claw was the trendiest place to be for brunch hour events in the city. Then suddenly, it stopped because of landlord issues (classic). However, Bull and Claw is like Star Wars: it just keeps coming back.

 


They just reopened in El Patio’s former location and have completely refurbished and redesigned the premises. And they plan to to host crazy feasts week after week! The new location has two terraces on three floors. The last floor has a super comfortable loft-like feel and is dedicated to private dinners. It’s a huge venue in total with a capacity of 100 seats downstairs and 80 upstairs. Here are some pictures for you to see for yourself.

 

The Bull and Claw 2.0 has rebranded as a cocktail bar, we will tell you more soon.

THE CUISINE

 

Let’s call for the return of Bull & Claw.


Mains


Veal Tartare RMB98


Australian veal tartare topped with deep friend quail eggs, capers and shallots with grilled ciabatta.


We’ve had at least 100 tartare’s in our life and nothing makes us grumpier than tasting a bad one. Here, great success, everything is good. Frying quail egg is an awesome idea.


 

Scallop Salad RMB118


Grilled Japanese scallops on a bed of argulla and rocket with fresh olives, slow roasted tomatoes and corn fed Iberian chorizo

 

Never saw Scallop and chorizo mixed in the same plate? Well neither did we, until going to Bull and Claw.  It is one of their signature dishes and we are sure you will be delighted to have it again. Scallops are of excellent quality and the saline taste matches perfectly with the chorizo.

 

Welligton of Beef RMB 218


Australian fillet of beef wrapped in a puff pastry blanked and stuffed with a mushroom and bacon Duxelle with a side of creamed mash, baby carrots and asparagus.


The beef wellington is an excellent dish that’s largely unaffordable in Shanghai (we saw many of them at RMB700, ouch ..). Bull and Claw’s Beef Wellington is a 100% classic, it’s everything one would expect. The highlight of the dish is the price though, surprisingly thrifty.


Half lobster & 300Gr Rib eye RMB 388

 

A huge 300 grams worth of imported Australian rib eye paired with a freshly prepared Nova Scotia Lobster half, served with chips and salad.


We prefer to prepare you: it’s going to be a long fight to finish with this dish. Neither Lobster nor Rib will give you any rest with these sized portions. The Ribs can be considered as some of the best pieces of meat you can find in the city. Sea & Earth battle on your plate, join the struggle.


Dessert

 

Chocolate Lava RMB58


A decadent rich chocolate cake with a delicious molten center and a light, springy exterior, served with Vanilla bean ice cream AND pecan nuts.


Look at this cute confection perched on its plate oblivious to what is about to happen in the next five minutes. I know it, you know it, we know it. It is going to get completely crushed by a ruthless spoon. It will pursue its chocolate vendetta until the end without any remorse or regret. And as this cake tastes really good, the rampage will follow through until nothing is left.

 

Baked Cheesecake RMB 58


A rich, vintage style cheesecake served with raspberry and blueberry compote with a side of vanilla bean ice cream.


A great cheesecake is a cheesecake you can’t stop eating, even if you know how  rich it is. If you want to know the truth, we finished every bite of this one. Then we left the dinner a little sheepish but with a truly satisfied stomach.
