What to absolutely eat during a trip to Shanghai
Shanghai cuisine is one of the most memorable experiences of the trip.
It's not just about eating well, but about discover culture, tradition and conviviality through flavours.
The iconic dishes not to be missed
- steamed dumplings filled with broth (xiaolongbao)
- fresh hand-rolled noodles
- braised meat in sweet soy sauce
- street food in the evening markets
Every dish tells a story centuries of gastronomic history.
Where to eat really well
Tourist restaurants rarely represent true local cuisine.
With a guide it is possible to enter small authentic places, often invisible to foreign visitors but much loved by residents.
This turns every meal into a complete cultural experience like a simple one conversation.
