This latest addition to the Ginger chain sits tucked away on charming 248 Taikang Lu. We begin with the antipasti platter (RMB55), a selection of grilled and marinated mushrooms, sweet red peppers, aubergine and lemon shrimp; deliciouslycitrous. The cheesy spinach and tofu quiche (RMB58) artfully blends this traditional favorite with a new-age veggie style. Our ginger rice bowl (RMB60) is pleasantly flavorful and comes with a smooth miso soup. The apple crumble (RMB30) is a bit bland but satisfies our hankering for that homemade taste.

Flourless chocolate and walnut cake (RMB40) does not disappoint; dense and rich, we're tempted to order another. Miss Ginger's small size demands you be friendly with your neighbors and similarly petite portions are a bit disappointing in relation to the price, but the menu is herbivore-friendly and the location a unique escape into the new "old" Shanghai.
