VICE Shanghai is a chef-driven restaurant and bar in Xuhui led by luminary Chef Carlos Sotomayor. The space is split across two floors — a moody, dimly lit bistro downstairs where tables are packed close enough to spy on your neighbors' orders, and a spacious lounge upstairs with high ceilings and a street-facing balcony.
Carlos' cooking pulls from his Peruvian heritage and years in Asia, resulting in dishes that are broad in influence but clear in identity — think a braised lamb shoulder with desert chives, a chicken and abalone claypot with glutinous rice, and salmon marinated with leche de tigre.
