Everybody loves a good brunch, and guess what? we at Shanghaiist do too! That’s why we took it upon ourselves to come up with the SHANGHAIIST BRUNCH SOCIETY, a brand new social club where foodies from all walks of life are invited to join us on a social culinary experience and make friends along the way. We plan brunch so you don’t have too! At our semi-regular events, you’ll be spoiled with delectable food, attentive service and free goodies from our generous sponsors.
To launch our inaugural event happening this Sunday (Aug 28), we’re going to one of our favorite restaurants — Calypso Restaurant & Lounge at Jing An Shangri-La, West Shanghai.There’ll be 4 courses – a starter, a pasta, four mains you can choose from and a dessert. There are options to accommodate for all dietary requirements including meat lovers, pescetarians and vegetarians.
Chef Luciano Farinelli, from Italy, is the only chef in Shanghai to make pizza with a 72-hour maturation process — that’s THREE sleeps! — and trust us, he makes some of the best pizzas in town!
Luciano started in the kitchen since he was 14, and has never looked back. He has an undying passion for traditional Napolitan cuisine, so be prepared to be wowed by his culinary creations.
