Set in a three-storey 1913 villa, Fu attains an old-fashioned charm. Foodies who appreciate sophisticated surroundings and Shanghainese food on par with the decor, take note – Fu is a must. The succulent standards won’t disappoint: the smoked fish starter is recommended, with the drunken chicken and the sweet-and-sour Mandarin fish a close second.
The entrance, down an alley and on the left, is unmarked and staff speak little English. There’s a minimum charge of ¥225 per head here.
