Drink in the heady mixture of 1930s China with a New York edge at Spiler Shanghai, Budapest...
Shanghai in the 1930s: “lust, women, style, dimmed lights, sensual music, and erotica”. Sounds damn good to us, but with time travel still in the pipeline (someone chivvy that along please) why not swing by Spíler Shanghai in Budapest for an atmospheric facsimile? That alluring description of the Chinese city comes from Roy Zsidai, the Hungarian entrepreneur who wowed us with his first Spíler venue and has done the same with this Asian sequel.
Zsidai has distilled the essence of Shanghai in those heady days into a restaurant with a beautiful and seductive hidden side. On the street level in Gozsdu courtyard, the bistro dining area and bar have more of a modern feel, calling on a mixture of New York’s Chinatown and Budapest’s ruin pubs for design inspiration.
This area can be booked for private parties of up to 140 people, or divided in two for a smaller group. Drinks at Spíler Shanghai include a list of imported beers and themed cocktails, and the menu mixes light bites with progressive Asian dishes.
