Tucked into the idyllic scenery of Fenyang Lu, lies a beautiful three-story villa that houses one of Shanghai’s premier Spanish restaurants. The restaurant is on the first floor. Although it has been refurbished, the whole place has an old ambiance that is both inviting and comforting. They even have a working fireplace, which is well embraced in the colder months.
El Patio has recruited a young chef from Barcelona to breathe life into traditional Spanish dishes. He works with ingredients like Iberico ham, squid ink, potatoes, and cheese. The portions are generous, so be prepared to share. They also have a nice selection of wine, if you are unfamiliar with Spanish varieties ask the knowledgeable sommelier for some guidance. Pair the wine with their respectable cheese platter; it is served with fresh herbs and honey, jams and crusty homemade bread.
This is a great environment to bring a date as the restaurant is dimly lit and when the weather permits spill out to the stone courtyard. It is is set up with tables and chairs for folks that want to enjoy a balmy autumn or a breezy spring evening. The other floors are reserved for their Bubbles Bar. Once your belly is full stagger up the wooden stair to indulge in some Spanish bubbly and terrace love. El Patio
