Nestled amongst the hotel’s lush gardens in Hongqiao, this isn’t your typical overcrowded hotel buffet. Instead, picture sun-dappled tables, bubbly in hand, and an endless parade of gourmet highlights.

It’s a semi al fresco affair, where the air hums with the sound of popping corks, sizzling beef, and the occasional yap of a pampered Pomeranian.

Yes, it’s pet-friendly. Rejoice!

A Global Tour of Indulgence  

The spread is next-level lavish. The path to the outdoor terrace is lined with cooking stations; beds of crushed ice, piled high with lobster, glistening New Zealand oysters, and fat, juicy shrimp.

Carving stations serve up perfectly pink Australian M5 tomahawk steak, platters of juicy sliders wait invitingly, while a South African braai sizzles with authentic boerewors sausage.

Prefer something lighter? There’s made-to-order eggs Benedict, Parmesan-wheel pasta, and a fine selection of salads, then venture inside where the buffet continues.

Save room for the pastry section (because seriously, those cakes are art) and something for your inner childHaagen-Dazs ice cream scooped onto freshly cooked pancakes.

Vibes: The Ultimate Weekend Mood

Between the garden setting, live cooking stations, and chilled-out soundtrack, this brunch feels more like a luxe garden party than a standard hotel meal.

Kids can roam, pups can lounge, and adults can sip, savor, and actually relax—a rare feat in Shanghai’s usual brunch scramble.

What truly elevates this brunch is the setting. If you’re over the same old packed hotel buffets, Anandi’s new offering is a breath of fresh air—literally.

In a city where hotel brunches can feel like they’re hosted in a corporate atrium, the Anandi’s garden is a verdant revelation.
