Located in the heart of Taichung's so-called 'Champs Elysees', this classy-looking establishment indeed does conjure up images of Shanghai in its heyday (*TRANSLATOR: days of glory and greatest prosperity).  The exterior has old-style lamps, windows and doors and the interior is full of old Shanghai-style posters and other antiques.  There is even nice outdoor seating on a second-floor balcony.  The food is a mixture of Shanghainese and other Chinese cuisine (Chinese-language menu only).  There is a choice of lunch set menu items (available daily except holidays), such as chicken, beef and pork, costing NT$240 to NT$280, with similar set choices for dinner.  During afternoon tea times, there are French, English and Chinese tea sets.  There are also a wide range of a la carte items, plus coffee and other drinks (NT$160-170).  Main courses come with drink, fruit and soup.  To get there, take Wuchuan 4th West Road, directly opposite the Taiwan Museum of Art's main entrance, go a few blocks south past Little Italy and make a U-turn onto Wuchuan 3rd West Road.
