Clicking an ad I ended up at the website of the Osteria restaurant
I’m a bit puzzled by the fact that if I bring 7 or more friends I’ll be charged 10% more.
Still, I may try out the place one day, just with a small group though.
It seems from the pictures like an enjoyable place and the reviews seem ok as well.
Osteria Restaurant
226 Jinxian Lu / Shaanxi Nan Lu
Website: http://www.osteriaspirit.com/connect.html
The place is close, Nanjing Lu, the coffee is getting more expensive every time (regular Yunnan brew from 12 Rmb to 16 Rmb) but the terrace makes up for that.
There’s just one thing that keeps amazing me, and this is based on 4 years of research.
Every time I go to the bathroom it’s occupied. And every time it’s one of the staffers. Now I understand that staffers also need moments of rest and quietness and I wholly endorse that but please give them their own toilets.
What does a Talking Girl talk about? And do they have non-talking girls as well?

Wandering on Weihai Lu we ran into the neon lights of Neo Cafe.

Chances are you have never walked past the lovely Citizen Cafe as it’s tucked away in a small side street of Shanxi Lu, just before Changle Lu.
Neither did I but as I read about it in one of the local expat magazines it seemed like a nice place to try. (more…)
My taxi took me through Fumin Lu and in a flash I noticed a sign with the name Coconut Paradise. I checked the net, read some reviews and we decided to try it the same evening.
Food
The Red Curry Chicken (60 Rmb) came last but ended up first taste-wise.
A great curry with tender pieces of chicken. Their mixed vegetable salad (38 Rmb) was run of the mill and the Seafood salad (70 Rmb) was only slightly better with the tiny bis of squid. We also tried their Pad Thai (60 Rmb). (more…)
Brunching is one of my favorite activities on late Sunday morning. Last time we tried a Spanish brunch at Indalo, now we went to more of a Fusion brunch at Maneo’s on Tongren Lu.
Food
Instead of a buffet Maneo offers a big menu and you can choose as much and as many times you like.
Ranging from a Mixed Grilled Plate with lovely lamb chops to Teriyaki Salmon or a Grilled minute steak and even an Open laced-blue cheese burger. All great quality. (more…)
