Canton 8 (Runan Street)

Canton 8 喜粤八号 has rightfully earned its place as one of the best Cantonese restaurants in Shanghai. Its delicate simplicity and commitment to authentic and unique flavors have won it not only a place as one of the top restaurants in the city, but also has won it two Michelin Stars. 

For those looking for a gourmet dining experience, but not wanting to spend too much, this is a great choice, as Canton 8 offers a memorable dining experience at a reasonable price, with dishes ranging from RMB100 to RMB 800.

Keeping to Cantonese dim sum tradition, diners' tables will be piled high with a range of dishes that come out in no apparent order, making the whole experience quite charming.
