Mercato by Jean-Georges

The restaurant is quite big, with a first-line view of the Bund! The appetizer is a squid that is quite tender and refreshing, and of course the most amazing is the black truffle pizza! The service is very good, often coming up to pour water, full marks!

It is the same as Jean Georges downstairs, but now the truffle pizza is made by him. The window is very beautiful, with the lights of the Bund and the river, making people feel very comfortable.

The earlier you arrive, the better the seat. Try to arrive as early as possible. The carbs are high, but I couldn't resist its deliciousness. I almost finished it all. I went to the Restaurant Week Winner Edition twice. I like the black pine mushroom pizza and the meatball tomato pasta. The latter was recommended by their Italian staff and the seasoning was particularly outstanding. Both are worth trying. If you are not used to the harder texture of pasta, you can ask them to cook it softer (in fact, the soft texture that Chinese people like is not qualified in pasta, but most Chinese people will like it). I chose salmon for the main course twice. It was very tender and perfectly seasoned. I wanted to eat it again after eating it. I didn't want to choose anything else. The desserts of tiramisu and carrot cake are both good. If you like tiramisu, you must choose tiramisu.

Restaurant Week is held twice a year. The Bund has always been a hot spot, especially JG's mercato. Everyone is sharing the 2020 Spring Restaurant Week. I will write about the 2019 Fall Restaurant Week. I found that this year's spring menu is exactly the same as last year's fall menu. The restaurant's seats are still arranged super compactly, which feels a bit crowded. We, 5 adults and 3 children, ordered 3 double sets and selected all the optional combinations in the set. The most impressive one is the "Black Truffle Pizza". The sunny-side-up egg is paired with the unique aroma of truffles, and the taste is very good. "Porcini Salmon" is fried almost 5 minutes, and the fish inside is very tender. "Homemade Cream Cheese with Strawberry Jam" The unique cheese is paired with strawberry jam, which is very unique when spread on bread sticks. "Crispy Beef Ribs" is different from the traditional steak, and the taste is quite unique, but the photos are really a bit ugly. Restaurant Week almost lists all the signature dishes, full of sincerity. I think the service is OK, and it is well arranged if there are many guests. If you want to see the scenery of Lujiazui, there should not be too many people, otherwise you will definitely not be able to sit by the window.

During this special period, we can only walk around and eat in Shanghai. Still on the Bund, Mercato by Jean-Georges is on the 6th floor of No. 3 Bund. It does not have the large terrace of POP restaurant on the 7th floor. However, the environment inside the restaurant is very large and I like it very much. The service here is the most recommended among all the restaurants I have visited so far, and it is also the one I am most willing to pay when paying the 10% service charge. The restaurant's signature dishes: black truffle pizza, crispy beef ribs are indeed well-deserved, and I will go again.
