We went to the Mercedes Benz Arena the other weekend in order to watch a movie. After the movie we decided to go check out the restaurants on the 6th floor, where you can find a variety of good restaurants. We decided on going for the one called Shufu Restaurant. It's part of a chain and supposedly really good.

The restaurant is facing the river and you can see The Bund on the opposite side of the river. If you want to sit at the window to enjoy your dinner you have to make a reservation.

We had a mixture of traditional Chinese Cuisine and every single dish was delicious. I can definitely recommend this restaurant, it's clean, good quality produce and yummy food and the pricing is really competitive.

The other day I was invited out for dinner at the new Mr. Stone located at Lujiazui. The restaurant is an Au advanced/langs/en.js" type="text/javascript"> stralian concept where the meat is served raw on a searing hot lava stone. The meat is excellent and their salad bar containing seafood as well as deserts is delicious. This is definitely a place you should take your family and friends. The cost for a good steak is around RMB 250,- and they have several western cuts on their menu as well as the famous surf & turf (seafood and meat in one course).

If you decide on going there, have a look at their restrooms (Japanese style heated toilets), which are extremely clean compared to many other high end restaurants.

The other day one of my friends brought me to a local restaurant called Nizang Garden and I was pleasantly surprised. The food is great and the prices low. The best thing is that they understand and speak English way better than in any other local restaurant I've ever been to.

I tried the Chicken Chow Chow, Black Dal and Garlic Nan. All of these dishes were excellent, but what surprised me the most was the Dal. I've tried a lot of restaurants and so far very few can cook a decent Dal. My friends from India once cooked it for me and I loved it; this Dal is exactly like the one my friends cooked up.

The restaurant can be really hard to find, but it's worth it.
