Atica Shanghai is a stylish yet approachable Spanish restaurant in Shanghai, serving authentic tapas and classic dishes on a stunning fifth-floor terrace with panoramic views.
Perched atop Xinle Lu’s historic mansion (elevator entrance via the ground floor clothing shop), Atica channels the soul of Spain through its elegant but unfussy approach. The restaurant’s design is award-worthy — vaulted ceilings, a dramatic skylight, and a handsome bar anchor the airy dining room, while two terraces offer some of Shanghai’s most coveted al fresco seats.
The vibe strikes that rare balance between polished and welcoming — the kind of place where lunch slides into dinner. Consulting Chef Ferran Edo Andreu’s menu focuses on Spanish essentials done exceptionally well: jamón Ibérico carved to order, textbook tortillas, smoky pulpo a la gallega, and paellas that honor tradition without pretension. This isn’t fusion or reinvention — just confident, ingredient-driven cooking that reminds you why these dishes became classics in the first place.
