Four Seasons Cuisine (四吉饭店) is a Sichuan restaurant in Shanghai that stakes its claim with a simple, powerful formula: Sichuan culinary pedigree served in a charming, wood-paneled tavern. Its authority comes from founder Chef Zhu Jian Zhong, a Sichuan Grand Master, whose expertise informs a menu of traditional specialties. Standouts include the best-selling Signature Beef with Xinjiang sweet peppers, sizzling Yantuan Fish, Catfish Maw with sesame and chili, and a reliable Mapo Tofu.
Portions are generous and family-style, ideal for groups. Service is attentive and all dishes are cooked to order. Dinnertime tends to have a queue, finding a seat during lunch hours is easy.
