Cheese & Fizz
It's fairly uncommon to entertain guests in Shanghai with wheels of brie and bottles of vintage Veuve Cliquot, but this French deli would be the place to stock up. It's not just French cheeses and imported wines - there's Swiss chocolate too. There's another branch at the Shanghai Centre (1376 West Nanjing Rd) and on the ground floor of the Superbrand Mall in Pǔdōng. Come armed with an expense account or an unsuspecting friend's credit card.

Norling Supermarket
The old town has a couple of Tibetan-run Nepali supermarkets selling everything from imported muesli and chocolate spread to Indian spices and peanut butter, though at prices higher than in Nepal. The Norling Supermarket , near the Muslim quarter, has one of the widest selections.

Wine-Link
Tucked down a small alley off Anfu Lu, this wine shop offers a solid range of mostly Australian and New Zealand wine, with a few South American brands. French champagne is cheaper here than anywhere else in town. They sell wine glasses and do monthly wine-tastings as well.

Good Eats Street
The drag for cheap eats is Good Eats Street, the stretch of Bayi Lu between Zourong and Zhonghua Lu. From stalls, carts and underground food courts, loudmouthed vendors dish up spicy noodles, clay-pot stews and beasties on sticks. Lines run deep on weekends.

Carrefour Supermarket
For self-catering try Carrefour. This is a branch of the popular French supermarket chain. They're now in a duel with Wal-Mart - trust us, you'll find them too - so between the two you've got about eight floors of food to gorge yourself on.
