Phénix at The Puli
When: Saturdays and Sundays, 11.30am-3pm
The Place: The Puli Hotel's restaurant Phenix has a Michelin star but often flies under the radar. Those in the know often visit the restaurant on Sundays for its one-day brunch, which features a modest hotel buffet plus three courses from a menu of things like: a three-egg omelet with Yunnan black truffle, hazelnut and burnt butter; Angus beef slider, gruyere cheese, spiced ketchup, house fries; and halibut Meuniere, seaweed butter, capers, lemon.

Lei Garden
When: Saturdays and Sundays, 11.30am-2.30pm
The Place: Lei Garden is among the city's best places for Cantonese dim sum, and the lines prove it. This is an upscale experience, with white tablecloths and waitresses in pantsuits, at a surprisingly affordable price. All of the standards are done with extra care here, but of particular note are their Cantonese herbal soups.
The Deal: A la carte.
Dishes: Crispy skinned roast pork (120rmb); custard buns (29rmb for 3); tonic soups
Seventh Son
When: Saturdays and Sundays, 11am-2.45pm
The Place: Seventh Son is an upscale dim sum house that was spun off the Fook Lam Moon restaurant, and is now a force to be reckoned with in its own right. They are masters of the Cantonese dim sum classics, with nearly translucent shrimp dumplings and fluffy, pillowy steamed bao. Though expensive, their crispy-skinned chicken gets rave reviews from diners.
The Deal: A la carte.
Dishes: Crispy skinned chicken (240rmb for half, 440rmb for the full); shrimp dumplings (62rmb for 4 pieces); "pineapple" char siu bao (48 rmb for 3 pieces)
Royal China
When: Saturdays and Sundays, 11am-4.30pm
The Place: Royal China is a more homey dim sum affair, a comfortable house of dumplings and roasted meats on the third floor of the Longemont hotel. The Cantonese classics here are done very well, if not always to the strictest of standards, but still make an excellent backdrop for a weekend feast with a group of friends and a bottomless teapot.
The Deal: A la carte.
Dishes: Shrimp dumplings (33 rmb for 4); "snow mountain" custard buns (29 rmb for 3); Cantonese BBQ meats (79-198rmb)
Commune Social
When: Saturdays and Sundays, 11.30am-2.30pm
The Place: Commune Social was one of the earlier Western restaurants in Shanghai to do creative, accomplished cooking in a very hip but casual setting (designed by Neri + Hu). The food is small plates of vaguely Spanish / modern Western cooking, like Green asparagus, fried egg, mint-pea puree, Iberico cheese and nuts, and fits perfectly into the brunch-shaped hole in your weekend.
The Deal: Three dishes for 188rmb.
Dishes: Poached egg, creamy spinach, mushroom, sriracha bechamel, sesame blini, migas; bacon, Manchego cheese & tomato bocadillo; salt and pepper squid with ink aioli
Pelikan
When: Saturdays and Sundays, 11.30am-2.30pm
The Place: Pelikan, the Nordic restaurant with the model chef, does a mixed brunch with both a chef's table type of set, in which he sends out a bunch of dishes for the table to share, as well as offering an a la carte menu with 20+ more choices, if you'd rather craft brunch yourself.
The Deal: Chef's brunch, with eight dishes to share, for 195rmb per person (whole table must order).
Dishes: Aebleskiver: Danish pancake balls, brown sugar bacon, apple aioli; mushroom toast; shrimp salad and sourdough

The Deal: 488rmb with drink options (188-288rmb).
Dishes: Truffled scrambled eggs, pan-fried foie gras with caramelized peach, Belgian waffle with mango and coconut sauce
Liquid Laundry
When: Saturdays and Sundays, 11am-2.45pm
The Place: Liquid Laundry's craft brewery plus lounge concept has been knocked off by others over the years, but their brunch remains as trendy as ever.

The Deal: A la carte. From 22rmb to 108rmb.
Dishes: Buttermilk biscuit with pinenut honeycomb butter (22rmb each); strawberry overload waffle (68rmb); breakfast pizza (108rmb)
RAC
When: Saturdays and Sundays, from 8.30am
The Place: Trendy, industrial-ish design, a hidden location and a solid menu of sweet and savory crepes, breakfast sandwiches and simple French dishes made RAC into a verifiable hit during the opening months of 2018. The crepes and galettes remain the highlight, and the crowds remain omnipresent, so go during off-peak hours or be prepared to wait in line with the selfie-obsessed crowds.
The Deal: A la carte. From 35rmb to 98rmb.
Dishes: Avocado toasts & egg (60rmb); Crepes & sides (60rmb); Complete Galette (70rmb)
Mr & Mrs Bund
When: Saturdays and Sundays, from 8.30am
The Place: MMB, as it's known, offers perhaps the largest brunch selection in town, largely by re-imagining their standard menu as various brunch sets shared for two people. The sets allow you to jump around the menu and hit signature Paul Pairet classics like his truffle meuniere bread, but the menu also extends to a comprehensive list of egg dishes and things like the restaurant's famous caramelized French toast.

Dishes: Real French Toast; Le Beau Chicken Vol-Au-Vent; Egg Tartelette Anchovy Nicoise
The Kitchen Table at the W Shanghai
When: Sundays, 12.30-3.30pm
The Place: #THISISNOTSUNDAYBRUNCH the W Shanghai's Kitchen Table screams on its menu.

The menu itself is divided between Cured, Raw, Josper (a type of oven, meaning roasted meats) and Bang the Drums, which is cheese and dessert.

Dishes: Focaccia, Goat's Curd, Tomato Relish, Herbed Butter; Freshly shucked oysters from Brittany; Robbins Island Wagyu Beef
Mr Pancake House
When: Saturdays and Sundays, from 8am
The Place: The clue is in the name. This affordable all-day breakfast spot has expanded into a chain since finding its pancake-shaped niche in Shanghai years ago, satisfying the weekend urge for round, fluffy discs of flour, egg and sugar cooked on a griddle. They don't offer any sets on the weekends but prices are gentle enough that it's easy to put together a big brunch on the cheap.
The Deal: A la carte.
Dishes: Strawberry pancakes (58rmb); smoked salmon Eggs benedict (62rmb); classic chicken and waffles (65rmb)
Al’s Diner
When: Saturdays and Sundays, from 9am
The Place: Al's Diner is a small, homey storefront smack in the middle of downtown doing American classics and killer ice cream (by Gracie, Al's wife). The place is particularly popular on weekend mornings and early afternoons, when almost every table holds a huge stack of fluffy pancakes covered in blueberry sauce, with a small pot of whipped cream on the side. Their second location, on Xiangyang Lu, is nearly identical, though it opens 30 minutes later and has waffles on the menu.
The Deal: A la carte.
Dishes: Blueberry lemon-ricotta pancake (60rmb); Purgatory eggs (65rmb); Superstar Buttermilk pancakes, whipped cream, maple syrup (50rmb)
Taoyuan Village
When: Saturdays and Sundays, from 7am
The Place: Taoyuan Village broke the mould on Chinese breakfast places, introducing trendy design into a meal that is traditionally functional, at best. It's up for debate whether their youtiao and soy milk are actually better than the ones at the local stand, but they are certainly cleaner and, by any measure, quite tasty.
The Deal: A la carte.
Dishes: Fresh ground savory soy milk (12rmb); you tiao (6rmb); bacon and egg shaobing (25rmb)
Baker & Spice
When: Saturdays and Sundays, from 7am

The Deal: A la carte. From 46rmb to 88rmb.
Dishes: The Brunch Plate: eggs, bacon, smashed avocado, corn fritters, mushroom & kale, fruit (88rmb)
Green & Safe
When: Saturdays and Sundays, from 9am
The Place: Healthy eating destination Green & Safe does an all day brunch in addition to their huge broadsheet menu, with a short but sweet selection of eight items, including avocado toast, a breakfast burrito, and a classic American breakfast. Show up early; seats at the picnic tables fill up fast.
The Deal: A la carte. From 58rmb to 98rmb
Dishes: Avocado toast with poached egg & seasonal fruits (58rmb); beef breakfast burrito (78rmb); American breakfast; Scottish smoked salmon truffle scrambled eggs (78rmb)
Brut Eatery
