Take to the terrace

Summer is coming! It’s the best season in Shanghai to be dining outside. From brunch to dinner, there are lots of great places to take a drink on the terrace. For brunch, it’s a good choice to try an American-style weekend barbecue with your family or a delicate European brunch for a date with a panoramic view of the Huangpu River. For dinner, it’s better to choose a perfect rooftop to soak up the night-time Pudong skyline. And oysters and white wine are a perfect match on a summer night outside under the stars.

Dining in a healthy way on the Huangpu River

With the new upgrade of the original terrace, The Voyage of Pu Jiang is one place that deserves a visit when the outside dining season arrives. With a beautiful view of the Huangpu River, there are several new seasonal dishes created by Zhang Senlin, production director of The Voyage of Pu Jiang, with his 20 years of cooking experience, focusing on a healthy dining concept with seasonal food.

Dining on the Huangpu River, hairy crabs are indispensable. The recommendation is fresh crab meat cream and taro crisp with seasonal bean seedlings. Compared to the steamed hairy crabs, crab meat cream is more convenient to enjoy. Go with the taro crisp and fresh green vegetables, balancing complex flavors and textures in one bite.
