The Fellas

October 4, 2025

I had so many amazing, memorable meals in Shanghai, every single one picked by my sister, who lives there and clearly knows where to eat. Then I took the reins for one night and, naturally, managed to find the tourist trap. I wanted that classic Shanghai skyline dinner, you know, the postcard view with the Oriental Pearl Tower glowing in the background. So I booked Fellas, thinking even if the food wasn’t amazing, at least the view and vibes would deliver. The moment I told my sister, she sighed and said, “Jie jie, that place is for foreigners the food’s probably not good!” And….she was right. When we arrived, our waitress was a foreigner and 90% of the guests were, too. After almost a week of eating like locals (and not seeing another non-Asian diner anywhere), it felt like we’d crossed back into touristland. The food? Totally meh ..edible but forgettable. The service? Fine. The view? Gorgeous, as promised. So go in knowing what you’re signing up for: this isn’t where locals eat; it’s where visitors go for that skyline Instagram moment. One thing I learned: the best meals I had all week weren’t on Google or found online easily, they were only on Dianping, the local app. So if you’re hunting for true Shanghai flavor, that’s where you’ll find it. Fellas is just fine for the view but not for the food

The Fellas Terrace is one of those places that instantly wins you over with its setting. Perched above the Bund, it offers a stunning outdoor terrace with panoramic views of Shanghai’s skyline, easily one of the best spots in the city to enjoy a drink under the open sky. The ambience is effortlessly chic, lively yet relaxed, and perfect for both a date night or a casual evening with friends. The cocktails are spot on, creative, well balanced, and served with flair. Their pizzas are also a pleasant surprise: thin, flavorful, and perfectly baked. The pastas, on the other hand, fall short of expectations and could use a bit more authenticity and depth in flavor. Still, the overall experience more than makes up for it. The service is warm and attentive without being intrusive, and the staff know how to make guests feel welcome. All in all, The Fellas Terrace is a must-visit in Shanghai. Come for the views and atmosphere, stay for the cocktails and good vibes. Highly recommended.

Food is OK. Don't expect too much. The steak we ordered arrived kinda cold. Yes, although the restaurant was kind enough to bring a hot stone for us to cook it on (we wanted it more medium, arrived kinda M Rare). Also ordered pasta & pizza. Environment is good, near the bund with a view. Service wise - not too sure, maybe they thought we (asian and with a small kid) can't pay for the bill initially? Wasn't too friendly, till we started ordering and paying.. left right after we ate.

We have spent so many wonderful evenings and unforgettable nights here – full of beautiful moments and cherished memories. Whether you come for a romantic evening for two, gather with friends, or host a business dinner, The Fellas is simply the perfect place. It feels like a return to a time when life and good company were truly celebrated. The cocktails are outstanding. Order a Moscow Mule, and you’ll enjoy the best one you have ever had. Prefer a glass of red wine? It will pair perfectly with your meal. And if you’re just thirsty for something refreshing, the beer selection won’t disappoint. Every wish is anticipated, and every guest is treated like royalty. The cuisine is a celebration of classic Italian flavors: from delicious antipasti to fresh pasta, pizza, and seafood dishes, all prepared perfectly. It’s the ideal food to share with friends and to create memories over a long, joyful evening. I would also like to sincerely thank all the staff members once again for welcoming us so warmly over the years. Being a guest here has been a privilege and a true pleasure. We can’t wait to return – The Fellas will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Really nice place with a good view of the city. The food was pretty good. The place offers a really good dinning experience. It was a bit expensive but worth it for a good view without a crowd.
