Private Food Tours
These are not your standard group food tour. Travel through Shanghai’s restaurants and beyond with an award-winning food writer providing context for everything you are seeing and eating.
Our food tours are not about the most obscure restaurants or packing in the most number of stops. Instead, we go as deep as possible on individual topics, from soup dumplings to noodle styles to Chinese fine-dining, to bring the history, culture and technique to life.
Tours are always private and premium experiences, and most often bespoke, though we do have a few suggestions on topics. Contact us for more details and rates.
F&B Industry Research
We have worked in China’s food and beverage industry for nearly 20 years and understand how it’s the same as the industry around the world — and how it’s different. We can offer a professional perspective on one of the country’s most dynamic and highly fragmented consumer markets, whether you are looking at a specific aspect of the industry or need a high-level overview. We can conduct site visits and market analysis anywhere in the country and can present our findings in any format — report, presentation, photo or video.
Need an introduction to a specific restaurant or expert? Let us help you make the connection.
