| Post subject: Girlfriend's birthday... Nice restaurant recommendation ??? |
Hi,
Girlfriend has her birthday tomorrow. We were initially planning for a nice dinner at Pane & Vino, but I'd like to find something little bit more original/nice to bring her.
Any recommendation of place I could bring her tomorrow night (Puxi side/French consession if possible) ???
Price is not really an issue
Cheers |

Have you tried El Willy yet? It's a nice place and definitely smart enough for an occasion.
Details HERE |

Roomtwentyeight at the URBN hotel is very very romantic and nice -- but the food is not that good, nor do they offer a lot of choices. |

If price is no object then the best restaurant in the city is Jade on 36 @ Pudong Shangri-La. Reckon on about 2-3,000 for the two of you including drinks for an incredible meal with an incredible view. |

We already did Jade on 36 (you can actually end up for less that 1500Rmb for 2 if you don't take wine... We had 2 martinis each instead). I agree it's a great place, service is perfect and the view is stunning !!!
Concerning the food, she is not fussy. Like European, Asian, Chinese... |

Otto is really nice, Julu Lu / Fumin Lu- very well cooked European bistro type food, nice environment. For desert you can have a trio of creme bruleearghagghghgh.
Laris is good too, right on the Bund- lots of martinis to chose from as well.
Oh and the terrace at the Mansion Hotel if it's a nice evening http://shanghaiist.com/2008/05/07/mansion_hotel_v.php- you can get a cocktail from Constellation afterwards. |

you are correct sir- actually that's their advertising slogan
"Jade on 36: All about pomps and grandy"
the food's amazing though, art people or not. |

^ Food is crap, not a great selection 
Where in the description "Romantic Meal" does it contain a subliminal message stating:
"Crap food would be a bonus, cos that'll really please the missus"

Good for romantic dinner. They serve Maroccan food |
