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.

Beautiful venue there inside the repurposed church. Great ambience. The staff were fantastic and super attentive. But above all the food was absolutely amazing. They do a really good dirty martini too. But the food: OMG! Oysters chorizo. What a combination! The artichoke with parmesan custard: complete flavour bomb. The chicken crown with fois gras was huge and unbelievingly tast. There are leftovers in the fridge an in looking forward to that. Saving some for leftovers was a good idea so as to fit the blue cheese cheese cake with PX jelly. Thanks so much! Brilliant evening.
