Shanghai Food Experience

PRIVATE SHANGHAI EXPERIENCE

Shanghai Food Experience

Discover Shanghai Through Its Food

From local snacks and steaming soup dumplings to a relaxed meal together, I would love to show you the food that people in Shanghai enjoy.

TASTE LOCAL SHANGHAI

A Private Food Experience Made for You

Shanghai is a wonderful city for food lovers. You can find almost everything here, from traditional street food, now often served in modern food halls, to fine dining at one of the 49 Michelin-starred restaurants listed in the 2026 Michelin Guide. Whether you enjoy simple local snacks or a special restaurant experience, Shanghai has something for everyone.

Food is also a lovely way to discover Shanghai and get to know the everyday life of local people.

I would love to take you to places where local people enjoy their favourite dishes. We might try Shanghai soup dumplings, noodles or other small specialities, visit a local market, or sit down for a meal together. Tell me what you enjoy, and I will shape the experience around your tastes and your pace.

A FEW POSSIBILITIES

What Could We Taste Together?

There is no fixed itinerary. Depending on your interests and what is open on the day, your Shanghai Food Experience could include some of these flavours and places.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

Choose an Evening or a Full Day

For a relaxed four-hour evening, we can explore local restaurants, food halls and small eateries, and try different Shanghai specialities.

With eight hours, we can explore neighbourhoods and markets and enjoy lunch and dinner together. If you prefer, we can taste many small dishes and snacks throughout the day instead.

There is no fixed route. Let me know what kind of food you like, whether you have any dietary needs, and how much walking you enjoy. I will make a personal plan with you.

Food, drinks, transportation and any entrance fees are not included in the guiding fee and only apply when needed for your personal program.

YOUR TASTE, YOUR SHANGHAI

Tell Me What You Love to Eat

Tell me when you will be in Shanghai, which foods you enjoy and whether you have any dietary needs. I will help you plan a food experience that feels right for you.
