The Commune Social

My favorite tapas bar and one of the best resto in Shanghai. Try the sea urchin on ciabatta !! Check my blog for the entire review【http://missneverfull.com/shanghai-the-commune-social/】

One of the best restaurants in shanghai. Sauces are amazing! How did they make cauliflower so delicious? Try the scallop ceviche and peanut+berries dessert too

You get great breakfast and brunch here. Order a few of the tapas sized dishes or sets to share out. Try the Pork Burger with Foie Gras , Iberico Ham Toasties & Angus grilled beef . Lovely courtyard .

The atmosphere is awesome...comfortable , trendy , hip and elegant without being too fancy . The food is pricey but yummy.

Most Favorited Venue of 2016 in Shanghai. This place offers classic tapas and great portion sizes. The grilled mackerel , seared scallops and venison ragu are crowd pleasers. No RSVP needed here.

Food is always good. It's been slipping a bit but still usually good. Paid $15 for bone marrow and got the tiniest sliver of narrow fat. Oh well . Lots of great modern tapas .

Come down and try our new vegetable dish .... BBQ roasted corn , BBQ butter, caper and lemon dressing and manchego cheese ....

Awesome Gf decided to do the 4 course chef 's choice and got everything on the menu (8 items) for Saturday brunch . Soooooo good. Do it. You won't regret it ;) (overindulged with the green tea dessert )

The best tapas restaurant in Shanghai. The service is also superb! They gave special salt they use at their restaurant ☺︎

If you're only 2 or 3 people, don't take a table. Ask to sit at the counter at the kitchen, or the cocktail bar , or the dessert bar (depending on your mood) to watch the action and chat up the staff .

This would be a three Michelin star if the judges were hipsters instead of French snobs. Must try in Shanghai. Go for the tasting menu it's suitable for two to three people.

A great location with seasonal and fresh ingredients . Come before 11:45 am if you want to make sure to get a table outside ! Will come back for sure

Love, love, love this place! Excellent food to share! Beautiful presentation! Recommended!

Ask for the vegetarian menu to get more choices on vegetables that are not on the main menu.

Come for drinks. Bar manager Rashid makes some excellent drinks. Try the Bet On Black, which is served with a pair of dice in the glass. If they come up Snakes Eyes, your drink's on the house!

This was an awesome meal. We tried five dishes including the beef tar tar. All were excellent.

Love the scallop ceviche and miso grilled mackerel . Also for dessert the goat cheese with yogurt and honey comb is a must!!

Very good food. Best suited to group dinning so you can order a wide variety of dishes and take some time over them. The goats cheese dessert is a must. Bring your wallet.

No reservations , but worth the wait! Good deal on lunch specials , portions are reasonable for the price and quality. A few outdoor seating - they have blankets on request!

Excellent food and drinks in a cool old building . If you can get a stool at the open kitchen enjoy the cookery show. Highly recommended.

Pricey but totally amazing. Very very good food. Tapas modern style . Good service and wonderful atmosphere.

Cheese toasties and honeycomb ice cream are very very good

Friendly staff , helpful in their guidance for choice of food. Breakfast chorizo with potatoes is delicious; crispy sausage , perfect runny egg ... Yummy!

Tuna tartar is awesome! Foie gras burgers are a must as well . Love the presentation of their food, every bite is a delight :)

amazing spot! delicious tapas , separate dessert bar (lots of liquid nitrogen action), and a bar upstairs. can't wait to go back!

Very impressed by the food: beautifully presented and bursting with flavours. Three course brunch plus dessert was perfect.

If you become mayor the commune social will give you a free dessert ...

Strongly recommend this place. The food is beautifully plated and taste as good! Try the suckling pig and scallop ceviche !

Excellent drinks, food, and staff . Don't miss the mackerel for a main and the goats cheese honeycomb for dessert .

After several years still going strong, fully packed, fantastic food, great service - I just ask myself why I only go there once a year?

Where to begin?!? Do try the oysters , the grilled lamb and the olive oil brioche-chocolate-pistachio dessert . I love this place!!!

Brunch was awesome. Keep space for coffee and desserts .

Fantastic food! I really enjoyed today... Not only the food, but also the view on the fantastically organized team in the kitchen.

Get this - the iberico pork , foie-gras burger served with avocado and pickled cucumber

Unusual tapas , great scallops and mackerel ! For a bit of fun, try the dessert bar after your main meal!

Try the suckling pig , sea urchin and pepper butter on ciabbata, and yogurt sorbet w goat cheese , honey combe, and sweet walnuts

Definitely order the suckling pig and peanut butter ice cream !

Get the rosemary garlic fries . They are magical.

This place is great value . The food is all very good, and beautifully presented. The suckling pig is especially a standout.

The burger ! The service ! The open kitchen & the finishing rocks !

Everything

Oh wow. Just that. Wow. Oh, and don't miss the manchego toastie or the tuna tartar . Plain awesomeness.

Great atmosphere and amazing food selection. Great plates for sharing.

Lamb cutlet , sea urchin and char grilled pork and foie gras burger is a must here

It's absolutely great. Everything we took was delicious. Definitely coming back!

Come and try....Miso Grilled mackerel , wasabi avocado , cucumber chutney

Iberico cheese , quince jam , toasted walnut bread (and honey )

The suckling pig , red beat salad are awesome

Saturday and Sunday brunch specials ...

Intimate setting. Small dishes. The bar upstairs is nice for an after-dinner drink.
