American restaurants in Shànghǎi

  1. Blue Frog

    There are seven Frogs around Shànghǎi, and their mix of burgers, sports TV and four-hour happy hours (4-8pm) mean they’re perennially popular. On Tuesday nights drinks are Y25, but if you can down all 100 of the shots they list, then you’ll get a free one every day for life and your name on their wall of fame.

    City Diner

    With vintage posters on the walls, the American-sized portions and a menu full of classics such as southern fried chicken, grilled cheese, and burgers (including a vegie option) from Y50, this place pulls out all the stops in its efforts to re-create the style of a genuine US diner. It’s gotten rough around the edges but it mostly works, although the slightly erratic service sometimes spoils things. The hefty all-day breakfasts (from Y60) take some effort to walk off.

    Kabb

    For those times when the desire to chew becomes overpowering, this smart grill hits the spot, delivering authentic American-portioned comfort food at midrange prices. There’s a good selection of main-course salads, burgers and wraps. The outdoor cafe-style seating is particularly popular for a slower-paced weekend brunch (from Y70), when the menu stretches to French toast with bananas and walnut syrup, and eggs Benedict – all with unlimited coffee.

    Malone's American Cafe

    This American-style bar/grill has been around since the mid-90s and is still popular with those in search of beer and a wide range of decent burgers (there are 31 of them on offer with fries and coleslaw). There are also wraps, a range of Tex-Mex and China's only Philly cheesesteak. Big-screen sports, a pool table and live music of the Filipino cover-band variety (from 22:00) add to the frat-boy vibe.
