About

Visitors rate Shanghai Expres at 4.8/5 from 8 reviews, a high mark for a small restaurant. Saint-Denis is the island's northern capital, and the coastal road and bus network connect it to Saint-Gilles-les-Bains, Saint-Paul and Sainte-Marie. The restaurant sits on Rue Jules Auber in the city centre.
Shanghai Expres is a restaurant, and its address places it among the streets of central Saint-Denis. Réunion's population descends from African, Indian, European and Chinese settlers, and the island marks the abolition of slavery each December, a history that shows in the island's food. The staple dish of Réunion is cari, a curry of meat, fish or vegetables, eaten with rice and rougail.
Réunion has a tropical climate, with a cooler dry season from May to November and a wetter summer from December to April, so the drier months make for easier travel. Réunion's highlands hold endemic plants and birds, and its coastal waters have coral reefs. A meal in the capital fits naturally into a day spent between the coast and the interior.
