Wine Bar Xuhui Researched & Verified

Nora's Wine Shop & Bar

Nora's 葡萄酒铺 & 酒吧

Nora's is a compact natural-wine shop and bar on Yongfu Lu in Xuhui, Shanghai, run by Nora Liu with a clear point of view. The list leans natural, rotates often, and there are highballs for anyone who would rather not commit to a bottle. Snacks stay simple: burrata gelato, a plate of charcuterie, enough to keep the evening going. Vinyl plays, art hangs on the walls, and every other Thursday brings a Vinyl and Vino night. It is the kind of place you drop into after work and leave later than planned. Open daily from mid-afternoon to midnight.

Restaurant Xuhui (Fuxing Xi Lu) Researched & Verified

Holy Spice

Holy Spice

Holy Spice is a Balinese-inspired Indonesian restaurant on Fuxing Xi Lu in Xuhui, Shanghai, built around Indonesian spices, textures and aromas by the OHA Group in the former Maolago space. The draw beyond the food is the plant-filled rooftop terrace, a rare open-air perch on this quiet stretch of Fuxing Xi Lu. It is a good pick when you want something warm-climate and a little different from the neighbourhood's usual bistros.

Bar Hengshan Lu, Xuhui Researched & Verified

Tabani Bar & Bistro

Tabani Bar & Bistro is a cozy Eastern European bar and bistro on Hengshan Lu in Xuhui, tucked into Yongping Li and named after the thick pancake-flatbread it serves alongside borscht, goulash and draniki. The menu wanders from Eastern Europe to the Caucasus, the room stays warm and unfussy, and it pours from late morning to midnight, which makes it as good for a slow lunch as for a nightcap. Shanghai's food press has been quietly circling it since it opened, and the Slavic comfort-food niche it fills is real.

Bar Donghu Lu, Xuhui Researched & Verified

BABAR

Babar is a French wine bar and bistro on Donghu Lu in Xuhui, tucked into a sunny corner with an open front that is perfect for people-watching. Simon Briens (Blaz, RAC) and Guillaume Tu (Spread) run the show, offering an unusually deep by-the-glass list paired with snack-sized French plates that sneak in Asian accents. The real draw: every evening from 6 to 8pm, wines by the glass go for a flat 60 RMB, a fine excuse to grab a counter seat early.

Cafe Yongkang Lu, Xuhui Researched & Verified

Café del Volcán

Café del Volcán is a specialty coffee shop and roaster on Yongkang Lu in Xuhui, roasting Latin American volcanic-soil beans since 2012. This tiny spot feels like a neighborhood hangout, not a photo backdrop. Grab a properly pulled espresso or a slow pour-over, pair it with a pastry, and watch Yongkang Lu come alive. It's a reliable, unfussy stop for coffee that tastes like its origin, made by people who genuinely care about the cup.

Bakery Tai'an Lu, Xuhui Researched & Verified

Trifle

揣福

Trifle (揣福) is a bakery and cafe on Tai'an Lu in Xuhui, combining French-style pastries with playful local twists. Their butter croissant is a classic, but you'll also find a spicy Guizhou sausage puff pastry and a tofu cheesecake, with most items running 15 to 20 RMB. Seasonal breads tend to sell out by afternoon, so go early for first pick. The corner spot draws a young, camera-ready crowd, but it's a great excuse to wander this quiet, leafy pocket of Xuhui with something warm in hand.

Cafe Yanqing Lu, Xuhui Researched & Verified

Goodbai

Goodbai is a celebrity concept cafe and merch store on Yanqing Lu in Xuhui, actor Bai Jingting's spot that has been a hit on Xiaohongshu since opening in 2024.

Sip the signature Goodbai Latte or a magnolia-scented cup, with drinks under 48 RMB and most people spending 28 to 40.

Restaurant Longhua, Xuhui Researched & Verified

The Lakeside Veggie (Longhua)

临湖素食

The Lakeside Veggie, or Linhu Sushi, is a vegetarian restaurant near Longhua Temple in Xuhui, and it carries a Bib Gourmand in the 2026 MICHELIN Guide Shanghai for good cooking at a fair price. The kitchen cooks homey Jiangnan and Chinese dishes and leans away from mock meat, so vegetables, beancurd and mushrooms are treated as the point rather than as substitutes. It sits on the second floor of a shopping centre and draws a steady crowd of temple visitors, particularly around Buddhist observance days, when arriving early is the difference between lunch and a queue.

Hot Pot Xuhui Researched & Verified

Haidilao Hot Pot (Huashan Road)

海底捞火锅（华山路店）

The hot pot chain that turned service into the main event. English menus, tableside help, and a self-serve sauce bar that could stock its own restaurant. The food is consistent and reliable rather than thrilling, but the extras are the draw: while you wait, take the free manicure, and ask about the free photo printing, bring the photos you actually want printed. Snacks, hot towels and games keep the queue painless. A gentle first hot pot, friendly to solo diners, and about as low-stress as the ritual gets.

Maolago Guizhou Hot Pot (Fuxing West Road)

毛辣果（复兴西路店）

Guizhou comfort food over three floors (a bar below, hot pot above, a herb garden on the roof). The draw is the sour broths: tangy, light and a refreshing change from the Sichuan standard, built on Guizhou sours and whole river fish. Pairs beautifully with tofu and greens.

Bar near Changshu Road, Xuhui Researched & Verified

Liquid Laundry

Liquid Laundry is a gastropub in the K Wah Centre on Huaihai Middle Road near Changshu Road, more a full sit-down meal with a solid craft beer program than a pure taproom. It suits a group that wants food and beer in equal measure, with American-leaning plates alongside the taps. Plan for roughly 150 to 250 RMB a head with a drink or two. The craft beer scene changes fast, so check current hours on Dianping before you go.

RAC Bar

RAC BAR（安福路店）

RAC Bar is a French cafe and bar on Anfu Lu in Xuhui, near the Wukang Lu corner. It serves all-day buckwheat galettes and sweet crepes with a Breton touch, plus coffee, natural wine, and cider, shifting to bistro plates in the evening. The savory galettes with ham, cheese, egg, and pancetta are the signature order, and a meal runs about 130 RMB per person. The room is small and reservations aren't taken, so weekend brunch can mean a wait, best spent on the sidewalk terrace. Anfu Lu is the stretch of Xuhui known as Shanghai's street-style catwalk, where photographers post up along the lanes to shoot the area's fashionable passers-by, so a sidewalk seat is as much for people-watching as for the galettes.

挽肉と米 上海东湖路店

Hikiniku To Come is a Tokyo-born hamburger-steak specialist in the FUFU complex on Donghu Road, in Xuhui, serving charcoal-grilled minced-beef patties at a bar counter. The set is the whole idea: choose two patties (¥98) or three (¥128), and it comes with miso soup, a raw egg to dip into, and free rice refills, so expect around ¥100 to ¥130 per person. You order at the counter, watch the patties char, and mix your own sauces from the row on the bar. It suits a quick, satisfying solo lunch or an easy weekday dinner, and queues build at peak times.

POETS Thai (West Bank Dream Center)

泰狮

POETS Thai is a casual, hugely popular Thai restaurant in the West Bund Dream Center in Xuhui, a short walk from the riverside. The menu runs through the classics with a properly punchy hand: expect real heat and real sourness rather than toned-down versions. At around 169 RMB a head, it is one of the better-value Thai meals in this corner of Xuhui. No reservations, so a queue builds at peak hours; go early or put your name down and wander the West Bund while you wait.
