Shanghai's best food deals: A 7-day guide
Gorge yourself on 13 decadent Chinese and Western meals from Monday to Sunday
Shanghai certainly has plenty of happy hour and drink promotions, but for anyone who wants to keep the pangs of hunger at bay, there are plenty of dining promotions, too.
Some promotions are on the cheap -- such as the RMB 49 four-dish lunch Hui Zhen Yuan -- while others nearly break the bank -- such as the lavish brunch at the Waldorf Astoria.
And even though the costs vary, all these promotions have one thing in common -- they taste great.
Here are 13 of our favorite food promotions in Shanghai, Chinese cuisine for lunch and Western deals for dinner, from Monday to Sunday. Bon appétit.
Monday: Lunch
Deemed one of the best Sichuan restaurants in town, Spicy Joint's ample dishes give you a lift into the week.
Restaurant: Spicy Joint (辛香汇)
Deal: RMB 68 lunch set -- good for four people
Mondays can be rather grim, so we like to start out our week on a spicy Sichuanese note, and a lunch at Spicy Joint has just the fix we seek.
Lunch includes boiled fish with cabbage and chili, double-cooked pork, stir-fried veggies, sweet-and-sour potatoes, and a large heap of rice.
Perfect for sharing with coworkers, this is a great start to the week.

Monday: Dinner
Hamburger is the dish to kick-start another week working the grind.
Restaurant: Gourmet Café
Deal: Two-for-one burgers
Burger joints across Shanghai seem to believe that hamburger is a perfect anecdote to combat the Monday blues, and of the many Monday burger deals around the town, we can’t seem to stop going to Gourmet Café.
Their two-for-one promo is one of the best in town as their juicy and creative burgers are on the pricier side. Paired with their weekday happy hour special, Mondays never taste so good.
Burger prices range from RMB 55-89.
