Aquarius - January 20 - February 18

These guys are both ends of the spectrum, either shy quiet and retiring or completely bonkers and out there. You had best know your Aquarius pretty well before you embark on a date, just in case you don’t, you had best keep your options open.

More Than Eat

Address: 758 Julu Lu

Pisces - February 19- March 20

Pisces are the social butterflies of the zodiac calendar, they are super friendly. They love hanging out in groups and meeting new people. If you are going to date a Pisces, group hang outs might be better than one-on-one dates, try somewhere social and bustling.

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.

Address: 291 Fumin Lu

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

Dating a Taurus means you’re in for a real treat. One of the more sensual of the star signs, these guys are all into taste, touch and sensuality. You need to pick a place to seduce, think glamour, think oysters. Go for dim lighting and candles.

Lychee

The new kid on the block, run by the infamous Cotton Ding. Lychee is the ultimate in divine date spots, decedent in its luxury. Amazing cocktails and a great vibe… You need sensual, this is it.

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. They also have a ruthless quality to them… beware, they’re going to keep you on your toes. You need to pick a spot that’s going to give them choices and keep them evolving.

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.

Cancer - June 21 - July 22

Cancer are the most sensitive of all of the star signs, they love family and home. They are into cuddling and listening to Bon Iver on the sofa. If you’re dating a cancer you’re going to be in for some cozy nights in. Our recommendation… Don’t try to drag them out.

Sherpa’s

Address: HOME.

Hundreds of options, choose what you fancy the perfect night in for two is just one click away.

Leo - July 23 -August 22

THE KING OF THE JUNGLE. Good luck with this one… Kidding, Leos are great. They are natural born leaders, full of confidence and pazazz. They want to be wined and dined, they want to be impressed. They like all thingy classy and delicious.

M on The Bund

It’s nice, it’s really nice. This dazzles and impresses, M on The Bund does an amazing tasting menu that comes with a great selection of wine. Time to go all out and really impress… Your wallet might say ouch but your… umm… *coughs* heart this going to thank you.

Virgo - August 23 - September 22

These guys are super in touch with eeeeeverything. They are observant and carefully considered in all of their opinions. They really care about the earth, about being healthy and about making smart choices. Be careful where you take these guys to dinner. A fried chicken joint is going to float about as well as a sack of bricks.

Pure and Whole

Delicious and nutritious! This is every health nuts' wet dream. With nutritional break downs and calorie counts you really know what you’re eating, great for your body and good for the world.

Libra - September 23 - October 22

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.

So there you have your dating horoscope recommendations, good luck my friends and may the dating force be with you.*
