Xuhui, China
Old Jesse Restaurant (老吉士酒家)
Old Jesse Restaurant (老吉士酒家) on Tianping Road is one of Xuhui's most enduring addresses for Shanghai home-style cooking, drawing locals and visitors alike to a setting that feels insulated from the neighbourhood's faster-moving commercial strip. The kitchen follows the Benbang tradition, seasonal ingredients, measured technique, and little appetite for reinvention. Booking ahead is advisable.
