RAC Coffee & Bar — Restaurant in Shanghai

RAC A charming Paris-meets-Shanghai café in the heart of the French Quarter that does mornings, afternoons, and date nights with equal ease. Galettes, coffee, wine—whatever the hour, RAC is ready to be the main character in your day.

Takeaways: •Galettes are the name of the game, and they don’t hold back. The Far West is rich and satisfying, though a little more pancetta wouldn’t hurt. Meanwhile, the Complete feels anything but—ham, cheese, and egg somehow manage to underwhelm. •Bacon, Egg & Cheese in a soft bun is exactly what it should be: no drama, no twist, just a well-executed classic. Like your favorite 90s sitcom—predictable but comforting. •Granola Parfait brings balance to the table: tangy yogurt (not too sharp), heaps of toasted granola, and a berry coulis that actually wakes you up •Vibe is do-it-all café by day, casual bistro by night. Enough caffeine to get work done, enough wine to forget you had work. Service is warm and unfussy—the kind that lets you linger.

The Damage (no drinks): CNY...

Worst customer experience since 2 years in Shanghai! Obviously, this place has become so popular that they really don’t care anymore about their customers even they ask for help. Not friendly, very slow, not polite, forgetting orders or getting the wrong things. Never apologising, never trying to find solutions and just average food with no twist and below average coffee. It’s sad as this place used to be amazing and it has that special vibe but I can’t suggest going here. Better stay away as there is so much new and warmer places where they care...

Great vibe! We loved the food it was special Yakitori night and all skewers were delicious - so we had them all 😋 not to mention that the starters beef tatar and snow crab were amazing too. Thank you chef Chan and team for delicious, on the point perfectly prepared and flavourful food! Matthew gave as super great recommendations and nice pairing wine ideas - so overall a great location and team for having early dinner and or drinks after your shopping walk in french...
