List of Good Restaurants serving western style food:
(Please list your favorite restaurants and where they are located) Note, since I originally posted this, lots of good comments were received, and I copied the recommendations of readers into the body of the post.
Kitchen in Futian (Coco Park)
Antolinis (or something like that) across the street from Pangolin Hotel, in Luohu in Dogmen Lu had really great Turkish food.
Tasty on Shennan Lu, next to rail road tracks in Luohu had really excellent steaks. I ate the price fix, and for 150 yuan, had Cream of Mushroom soup, a Chicken and Salad salad, Bread with Cheese sauce, Honey Tomato Juice, Delicious Mushroom soup, and Tiramisu. I highly recommend this restaurant. I think the building is the World Financial Center. Contact me for questions. David M Ginsberg
