Enjoy Genuine Shanghai Cuisine

Let’s enjoy genuine Shanghai cuisine of the 1930s at Xi’s Villa

Julu Garden, where Xi’s Villa is located, is a tranquil garden near the Jing’an Temple in Shanghai. The garden has nine British-style wooden-and-brick villas featuring white walls, each with a small garden. Now a restaurant, Xi’s Villa is hidden in the most secluded corner in the garden. Many hold wedding banquets and birthday parties here. The three-floor restaurant boasts a spacious lobby and tranquil VIP rooms. Its interior design combines European elements and the classical Shanghai style of the 1930s, and demonstrates an elegant atmosphere.

Its signature dishes, such as crispy young pigeon, sautéed shelled shrimp, braised bean curd with crab roe and fried crab roe, all belong to authentic Shanghai cuisine. Each can remind diners of the delicacies during their childhoods.
