The bustling old Shanghai has created many houses with different styles. These old houses have a mysterious origin, and even today, they still have the flavor of Shanghai in the 1930s. Opening a restaurant in such a house is modern and elegant, and diners seem to be enjoying the delicious food with their heart, but also swallowing the heavy aroma of history.
Fu 1039. Pay 1088
It is said that the more luxurious and distinguished the place, the simpler the address, and the operators of "Fu 1039" and "Fu 1088" obviously know this well. The Fang family, the operator, has a prominent family background and naturally has a unique way of catering. Now it has been passed down from the Fang family to the third generation, with a gorgeous turn. It has become a restaurant that does not hang the club brand but has all the advantages of private clubs such as privacy, high standard and personalized service. All the furniture, decorations and lamps in the restaurant are carefully collected by the boss and the old Shanghai collector Ms. Fang Yafen. Many objects are dated from grandma's grandmother's house, but they tell you the last romance of modern Shanghai, and let you feel the life taste of the luxury people at that time with the tip of your tongue. Because the staff here are very stable, the waiters are familiar with every regular customer here, their tastes and favorite private rooms, and the meticulous service is like the old people in the old house, which makes you feel luxurious as soon as you enter the door.
"Delicious" is always a very important link. The theme of "Fu 1088" and "Fu 1039" is the flavor of Shanghai style. Based on Shanghai cuisine, fully and boldly integrate into the characteristic elements of local diet, instead of copying the menu of old Shanghai. Crab powder with toast, foie gras with bacon and paella, apple gamete chicken, pine mushroom pork chop ... These seemingly far apart raw materials, through creative collocation and careful cooking, not only make your tongue smell fragrant, but also make you feel what Shanghai style is from the tip of your tongue.

Laoyangfang garden restaurant
Laoyangfang Garden Hotel used to be the private residence of Du Siyi, the richest man in Shanghai. This background alone is very imaginative. Fireplaces, gorgeous chandeliers, French windows and phonographs can vaguely find traces of life in Shanghai in those days. The interior layout is elegant, comfortable and bright, and the small garden outside is small but the light is good.
These dishes are well cooked. It is said that they are very local, slightly sweet, lighter than ordinary local dishes, and more in line with modern people's health care. Smoked fish, sweet and sour pork chops, gourmet beef, crab powder tofu, fried buns, braised pork and Taihu Sanbai all taste good, and the service is relatively average. Be sure to pay attention to your clothes when you go.
