Polux by Paul Pairet

CUISINES: French, Mediterranean, European

“You Breakfast, Feast & Sit & Sip & Eat… Snack, Grab, Grub, Munch, Crunch, Nibble… Late-Lunch, Early-Dine… Nip a cup or raid a jeroboam of Champagne, by yourself, with friends… with a stranger… A sanctuary of freedom – of anytime – of any indulgence, code-less… Eternally untrendy and forever in fashion. I love French Café.” – Paul Pairet Born French and Shanghai raised, Polux is Paul Pairet’s simplest joint so far, in the heart of Xintiandi. Polux is a French café, a casual bistro, a bar with a terrace, and a hangout to drop-in anytime for a hearty brunch, light fares and cozy dinner. A place to eat and drink all day, where basics done with Pairet’s touch and stripped to the core. The luxury of understated simplicity. Bib Gourmand by The Michelin Guide Shanghai since 2020 edition
