Shanghai cuisine is Central-Eastern Chinese food. Because of Shanghai's proximity to the ocean, major lakes and rivers, this style is renowned for superb preparation of both fresh and saltwater fish and mollusks. Its sauces tend to be rich, slightly sweet and lightly spiced. There are both wheat and rice-based dishes in Shanghai cuisine. Carrying on this tradition, Shanghai Café offers a wide variety of traditional Shanghai-style entrees, made with the freshest ingredients. Its menu is relatively simple and mostly focuses on wheat and rice based dishes ranging from Braised Noodles and Shanghai style Lo Mein to Rice Cakes. With a small selection of Shanghai style Dim Sum, it also features Shanghai Café Specialties including seafood combinations.
