Azul/Viva
Peruvian chef Eduardo Vargas specialises in hip fusion food featuring South American flavours. Rough-hewn stone seating and shimmery gold and violet décor set the scene at the downstairs tapas bar, Azul, where the Latin influence is at the fore thanks to the Peruvian beef tapas, cerviche , margaritas and pitchers of sangria. Upstairs, Viva shares the same menu and is more of a restaurant, despite the couches. Try the seafood. Reserve.

Le Garcon Chinoise
This lovely old wood-panelled villa down a winding lane off Hengshan Lu is one of Shanghai's most romantic venues. There are actually two restaurants: on the 1st floor the Spanish chef turns out simple, classic tapas, while on the second it's Vietnamese dishes. Try the superb Hanoi fish in tumeric and marinated with fresh herbs comes with glass noodles, the sour fish soup or the chicken with lemongrass. There are non-smoking sections. Reserve.

Tapas Bar
Flamenco music, candles, tapas...how the heck did this place end up on Maoming Rd? This is the only venue on the block good for a date, unless your sole intention was for both of you to get smashed. It offers 54 different types of tapas, as well as a decent wine list. Sister establishment Las Tapas, in Hóngqiáo, has outdoor seating and a rather more salubrious vibe (6465 8345; House 33, Lane 3338, Hongmei Lu Entertainment Street).
