Shanghai - Casa 13 is the newest restaurant from one of Shanghai's most personable and prolific restaurateurs, Eduardo Vargas. This restaurant, quietly tucked away down a lane off of Huashan Lu, is all about understated style, wholesome Mediterranean food and indulgent comfort. Located inside a 1930s villa that once was the home of the French Consul, Casa 13 combines several concepts in one space that exudes the elegance of Shanghai's bygone era, with modern updates that lend a contemporary vibe to this old Spanish-style villa.
When you enter Casa 13 you're surrounded by greenery - the courtyard here, which comfortably seats around 30, has been tastefully decked out with flowers and plants. There's also a sunroom in the rear of the courtyard, to soak up rays on sunny winter days, and the second floor hosts a contemporary Chinese art gallery that can be reserved for special events. Inside, Casa 13's design is simple but sophisticated, with a bar and lounge serving creative cocktails and a great wine list that covers wine making regions both New and Old, with a list of wines by the glass that changes daily. Here, you won't find tired house wines, but will be surprised by premium offerings in a glass you can't find anywhere else.
