Lilong brings you an authentic Shanghai community and street dining experience. It is all about lively, memorable round-the-table moments with friends and family. Lilong is the name for the centuries-old street communities in Shanghai that are connected by laneways. A cross between English terrace-houses and the traditional Chinese courtyard, these residential back street neighbourhoods are tucked away behind the commercial centre of the city’s boulevards. At Lilong we re-imagine the pulsating melting pot of street food and the heart, soul and rhythm of the streets of Shanghai. The atmosphere embodies a cheerful meeting and eating place that has been such an integral part of Shanghai living. Lilong’s signature range of noodles, dumplings and other dishes reflects those genuine flavours and traditional cooking techniques.

I ordered the slow cooked lamb with broccolini and roast potatoes, it was delicious, like a true home cooked dinner. My husband ordered the pizza Angelo, he loved the thin crispy pizza base and the lamb was tender and the topping full of flavour. The torte for desert - superb! We shared it and ended our beautiful night out with a walk across the river on the footbridge..
