In pursuit of a suburban lifestyle


(That's Shanghai)
Updated: 2007-07-11 09:46



Just as people grow older, settle down and look forward to a suburban
lifestyle, so, too, do restaurants.

Take Las Tapas, for example: it is more refined, more elegant and
family-friendly than its rowdy downtown cousin, Tapas Bar. The outdoor
seating area and extensive, reasonably-priced wine list offer weary bar
hoppers a pleasant respite, as does the wide selection of truly
delightful tapas. We took the recommendations of the friendly staff,
ordering the spiced olives (RMB 18), fried chicken with marinara (RMB 35)
and our favorite, the spicy sliced sausage (RMB 39).

Be warned, though: Las Tapas is as much a bar as it is a restaurant. The
loud pop music and diverse crowd might make this place lively, but they
do little to inspire an authentic ambiance.
