Another one of my favorites! This is home to many of Shanghai’s higher-end restaurants, hotels, and boutiques—and has been one of the most prestigious neighborhoods in Shanghai history. As the name says, this was the former home of the French Consulate after the loss of the Opium Wars, so it’s brimming with leafy boulevards, boutique wine bars, European delis, and indie fashion shops. Dining options range from your typical soba noodle shop to tapas bars and French bistros.
