Downstairs with David Laris

cmou5775: We ate here a number of times for both breakfast and dinner while visiting friends who stay at the hotel attached. The atmosphere in this design conscious place is great and the quality of the food doesn't disappoint. We only eat halal meat but had plenty of options from the fish and vegetarian selections. The mushroom risotto and the golden trout were stand out selections.

hirschjh: Came here for brunch on Saturday morning. Either need to reserve or get there before 11:45 to get a seat outside. The outdoor patio was wonderful - a perfect urban oasis. I ordered eggs benedict which were just to my liking (fresh salmon, light hollandaise sauce, and tasty spinach)and the infamous punch certainly packed a punch. Will come back again for a simple, but delicious, brunch.

bbmiLo: We have been to this place few times. The restaurant is nice, food is good, but the menu section is not large. The 50% off voucher definitely makes a great deal.

chirinquita: The restaurant is very nice, however we had bad luck, because new menu was launched the same day we came. We had to wait for 1st course almost 1 hour, howerver staff (especially Spanish speaking girl) were very polite and really try to make all smoothly. The food very good. For delay they invited us for desert and 1 courses didnt charge. Despite this we would come back and recommend.

Hopley: Thank god for the voucher! Had the fry up which was lush, bloody mary was also lovely. Sunday brunch menu. Very cool interior design, friendly staff. Price between 4 of us without the voucher was 810RMB! Thought abit much with small portions.

talemdar: Very good food with reasonable prices. Friendly staff and very attending service. Excellent choice for Sunday breakfast.

laowaijohn: Try the gigognan. Excellent French red. The macaroni and cheese is not to be missed.

dylane: Venue is gorgeous and spacious with a big patio and very comfy seating, a good choice to settle in for the whole night (request the booths for a romantic dinner). Service was very slow initially but after waiting 15 minutes to place our drink order it was then fantastic and all of the staff had a good knowledge of the dishes - I'm vegetarian and usually struggle in Shanghai but not here, veg dishes were clearly marked. Apart from the strangely textured bouncy fishcakes all of the dishes were delicious. Our fave meal in shanghai, so far.

accinbigeast: Return visit was just as good as the first. Enjoyed the grilled squid-fresh and tasty. Love the ambience here.
