A small and elegant restaurant with great atmosphere. This restaurant is located at the Xinyi area, so it’s great for lunch or tea or dinner whenever you want to take a break from your shopping. The signature dish of “Le Gris Spaghetti” is bacon spaghetti. It is very well done and their bacon is tasty and it goes extremely well with the spaghetti. Staff is very friendly and accommodating.
