By day Barbarossa is a wonderfully chic and relaxing cafe, and by night its one of Shanghai’s hippest lounge bars. What gives spark to both incarnations is the trendy Moroccan-themed interior and the tranquil setting on a pond in People’s Park, with a view of Shanghai’s inner-city skyscrapers looming over the greenery. Balconies downstairs and upstairs provide the perfect places to soak in the serenity. By day Barbarossa boasts gourmet sandwiches and tasty pastas (average ¥60) on the menu along with strong coffee (¥25), while by evening DJs spin chill-out and electro beats while patrons imbibe on draught Paulaner (¥76) and quality cocktails (average ¥80) and puff on hookahs (from ¥100). While prices verge on the exorbitant, Barbarossa is stylish enough to justify it. And those on a budget can visit during the daily happy hour from 5pm-8pm when drinks are half price. Highly recommended.
