Tiffany Spicy has just opened its second branch in Jinqiao International Square in Zhangyang Road, Pudong. Its original branch, in Gonghe Xin Road has been running for five years. Tiffany Spicy Szechuanese but has created many of its own unique dishes.
The restaurant décor is minimalist but elegant. The restaurant owner, a Dongbei native with a passion for southern cuisine, does not need to divert diners’ attention from the food with tacky ostentation or attempting to copy an inn from the Three Kingdoms. Here the focus is on the food and making an exciting dining experience.

Sichuan-fusion with a classy dressing of red chilies has again appeared in Shanghai (Across from Big Thumb Plaza in Lian Yang Plaza - Pu Dong).
At the end of a wall of high-end wines was South Beauty’s welcoming waterfall and its classic emblem, the serene Beijing Opera mask. They worked in unison as they slipped over my shoulders an invisible dining jacket, its lining spicy chilies. Walking comfortably into the mostly white décor, splashed gently in Sichuan-red, my senses stretched and my appetite stirred.

Located in 32 Jie Fang Road, fairly close to popular tourist locations such as Hubin Road and the famous West Lake, Ba Guo Bu Yi gives the vibe of being simultaneously quaint and opulent. It is decorated in the style of a cozy, traditional Chinese restaurant with wooden staircases, glass paintings and delicate carvings that evoke the essence of ancient China.

Shanghai, 31China
Sichuan Court is located on the 39th floor of the Hilton hotel. Walking out of the lift, I could already smell the fragrances of Sichuan wafting towards me, and entering the restaurant was almost like stepping back in time to an Imperial Court, as its name suggests, where high ranking officials feasted on Chinese fine dining. Guzhen music, Tang dynasty stone horses, and authentic costumes fostered a traditional and intimate Chinese atmosphere.

LAN Club Shanghai brings a unique, upscale contemporary option to the Bund dining scene. Instead of focusing on riverfront views, like many establishments in this area, they focus more on the interior design of the restaurant. It is located in an older colonial style building, with 4 floors each of which provide a different interpretation of the East-meets-West overall theme.

Ask any native of Sichuan province where to find authentic Sichuan cuisine in Beijing and you will be met with arched eyebrows. It is a truth universally acknowledged by Sichuan migrants to the capital, that real, down-home cooking is nowhere to be had. Press them and they might reel off a well-known short list of places that prepare acceptable imitations.
