Pisces - February 19- March 20

Funkadeli
You can eat, you can drink, you can be merry. Nice wines, good cocktails and delicious Italian food. You can dine alfresco and chit chat or sit down and chill inside. The place everyone is at, you’re bound to bump into people you know.

Aries - March 21 to April 19
The (slightly) aggressive sheep of all the Zodiac people. These guys are strong willed, impulsive and pretty out there. They can also be spontaneous… sometimes to a fault. So don’t be surprised if your date cancels last minute because they had a better offer…
Xibo
This is a great twist on Xinjiang food, serving a mis-mash of dishes from many ethnic groups in the west of China. This is about as far from tacky dancers and gold leaf as you can get. It’s cool, it’s datey. Get the lamb and go heavy on the spice, you’re out to impress, remember?
Address: 3F, 83 Changshu lu
Taurus - April 20 - May 20

Address: Lane 49, Fuxing Xi Lu
Gemini - May 21 - June 21
Geminis are quick witted, fun and social, but also prone to deep thinking. They can jump from silly to seriously in the blink of an eye.

Liquid Laundry
Liquid Laundry is great because it’s so diverse, it can be a drinking hang out, it can be a romantic date spot, it can be a place to chill out with your mates. The vibe is versatile and they always deliver on the food. LL is a safe bet.

Libras make the best partners, hands down. Libras hate being alone, they love partnership, they love being with someone. For them, symmetry and mirroring are very important. They are very aesthically focused people. You need to think carefully about the feng shui of any place you’re going to be gracing with your presence.
Hakkasan
Some of the best Cantonese food in the city. The restaurant is beautiful, the view is amazing and the presentation is to die for. Eating here is the easy option as they have already done all of the feng shui-ing for you. Just remember to make sure you can book a DiDi for the way home, getting a cab can be a nightmare… You don’t want to ruin the vibe.
Address: 5F, 18 Bund
Scorpio - October 23 - November 21
Some say that Scorpios are born fierce, you need to be pretty brave taking on a Scorpio. They are cool, calm and mysterious. They are great leaders and find handing over the reins quite difficult. If it’s your turn to plan the date you need to keep it mysterious.
Sober Company
This is the venue that just keeps giving. Tell your Scorpio that you are here to try and collect three tokens to get into their secret room. Start in the café, eat in the restaurant and then hit up the bar. There should be enough mystery there to keep them interested…
Address: 99 Yandang Lu
Sagittarius - November 22 - December 21
Sagittarius is the traveller of all the star signs. The big adventurer, they are curious and energetic with an open mind. You don’t need to dazzle them with a venue; you need to dazzle them with yourself, your conversation and your ability to think laterally. You need to pick a venue that’s quiet and chilled so you can have a deep and meaningful chat.
Dr. Wine
Dr. Wine is dimly lit, with candles and cozy little tables for two, it’s the perfect place to sit and share a cheese board and a bottle of wine while you put the world to rights.
Address: 177 Fumin Road
Capricorn - December 22 - January 19
Capricorns represent all that is traditional and are often serious by nature. Independent and dignified, Capricorns can be slow to love but once you’re in their lives you’re there forever. Be careful you don’t mess them around because there is no coming back. You need to impress them with straight up good food and a chilled atmosphere.
Shanghai Slim’s
An old Shanghai hang out, its solid reputation isn’t going to let you down. You can choose inside or outside depending on how the mood going to take you. There steaks are pretty legendary but everything on the menu is pretty solid. The vibe is chilled and the service is great, it’s a prime date spot.
