人和馆（肇嘉浜路总店） (Ren He Guan)

When first-time visitors picture a Shanghai dinner—amber lighting, brass fans, velvet booths, and glossy red-braised pork—Ren He Guan is the room they are imagining. Yet unlike tourist traps, the kitchen here holds a Michelin star and cooks with serious discipline.

Two dishes are mandatory: the medal-winning Hongshao Rou (caramelized pork belly braised to a trembling glaze) and the tableside Crab Roe Rice, which gives you the full luxury of autumn hairy crab without having to crack a single shell.
