Shanghai French Concession Local Food Crawl — 10+ Tastings + Craft Beer
Hit up four-plus local seated eateries during this insider's small-group food crawl around the French Concession, capped off by a pint of craft beer at a local pub. Venture far off the tourist track to feast on at least 10 classics made from recipes passed down generations: Xiaolongbao deep-dive at a local dumpling joint that competes with Michelin spots; scallion noodles, dumplings with sesame sauce and pan-fried buns (Local Intangible Cultural Heritage); Shanghai's famed pork belly that takes a full day to prepare; fresh mango and sago cream from a passionate neighborhood dessert shop; and a final craft brewery stop. Group size capped at 12 for an intimate experience. Vegetarian friendly with advance notice.

Traveler Reviews
This was less about eating a huge meal than paying attention to several small ones. That rhythm worked for 3 hours. My only advice is not to shorten the time at Shanghai French Concession Local Food Crawl — 10+ Tastings + Craft Beer.
What helped was simple: dietary questions in Shanghai were handled before we started, not halfway through the first tasting. That made the session much easier to enjoy. For 3 hours around Shanghai, the pace felt about right.
Small tip: do not eat a large breakfast before the Shanghai tour. The portions at individual stops look modest, then suddenly you realise you have been tasting things for hours. With 3 hours to work with, the balance felt sensible.
