Coquille Seafood Bistro
Coquille Seafood Bistro (29 Mengzi Lu, near Madang Lu, Shanghai) — Coquille is French Vietnamese Seafood restaurant opened by John Liu, who also opened the popular Scarpetta. Coquille has the ambiance of a French Bistro, with the cool throwback black and white mosaic tiles and couple of romantic sidewalk tables in the interior facade. Liu has single handedly put Mengzi Rd. as one of the finer restaurant streets in Shanghai, with Scarpetta and now Coquille.
Chef Anna Bautista’s work with seafood is well-regarded. The Smoked Yellowtail and Foie Gras Au Torchon are among the favored dishes here. Along with seafood, there’s also the Crispy Duck Leg Confit with Pork Crackling and Grilled Black Pork Chop 1kg as exceptional standouts. Bautista is the only Michelin Star rated Chef in Shanghai. Many patrons have also enjoyed the Crab Roe Garlic Noodles, as almost a tribute to the famed Garlic Noodles from the Beverly Hill’s Crustacean.
