Lilong brings you an authentic Shanghai community and street dining experience. It is all about lively, memorable round-the-table moments with friends and family.

A cross between English terrace-houses and the traditional Chinese courtyard, these residential back street neighbourhoods are tucked away behind the commercial centre of the city’s boulevards. At Lilong we re-imagine the pulsating melting pot of street food and the heart, soul and rhythm of the streets of Shanghai.

I can be critical when dining out. But there was nothing at all to criticise at Vela. Varied & delightful menu. Food was just great. The star of the dishes was the wagyu beef. All dishes were very good. Service was friendly & efficient. Meals came out quickly and the prices were reasonable. I would certainly recommend.

Came here to with two of my friends for their birthday. Service was really fast and friendly. Atmosphere was good - we had the choice of sitting inside our outside surrounded by trees - which we chose. I ordered the walk smoked salmon bagel, which was nice for brunch. Both my friends ordered breakfast option.
