Shanghai Grandmother Restaurant — Restaurant in Shanghai

Shanghai Grandmother Restaurant on Fuzhou Road is a genuine local gem that we found ourselves returning to multiple evenings during our stay at the nearby hotel. The food is simply great—comforting, flavorful, and served in very generous portions that offer fantastic value.

Be prepared to share tables if your travelling as a couple or small group.
