Located in Fuxing Gongyuan, the oh-so-chic Park 97, one of Shanghai's trendiest restaurant complexes since 1997, now comprises four outlets. Baci Italian Cuisine is justifiably known for its fresh pasta dishes and very thin-crusted pizzas, but its most popular offering is its weekend brunch, with sets ranging from ¥100 to ¥180 ($14-$26/£7-£13), including cocktail, pastries, and limitless tea/coffee. A children's menu is also available for brunch. Lux serves drinks during the day and turns into a luxe bar lounge at night. California Club is a very hip and loud disco that opens onto Baci; while Upstairs at 97 is a lounge bar with live music. This is a great place to relax during the day, and an optimal place to see and be seen: You'll get attention not only from the waitstaff but also from other patrons discreetly checking each other out, and from curious Shanghainese ambling through the park.
