Yong Foo Elite Club Shanghai

Tour Features

- Yongfoo Elite was originally opened as a member-only, private club (hence, the name). And the fact that Yongfoo Elite is no longer private still confuses some people. This Shanghainese restaurant is housed in a wonderful old 1930s villa, on a lovely phoenix-tree-lined street - Yongfu Road. The building was previously used as the British Consulate in Shanghai.
- The garden, on your way into the restaurant, is lovely. In the evening, candles light your way. And if you go on a nice day, the garden seating is fabulous. Definitely one of the nicest in Shanghai. Inside, the club is quite elegantly decorated, with rather authentic-looking flowery wallpaper. There are many nice, old-style touches in the decor.
- The Chinese food at Yongfoo Elite is less than spectacular. But no one goes there for the food; this restaurant is one that will delight visitors to Shanghai and will give them a good impression of how the elite used to live in Shanghai during its glory days of the 1920s and 1930s.
