Shanghai Old Restaurant opened in 1875 (the first year of Emperor Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty). It was originally located on Jiuxiaochang Road and moved to the west side of the Old City God Temple on Fuyou Road in 1965. The Old Restaurant was founded by Zhang Huanying from Chuansha. It was originally named "Rongshun Restaurant". Because of its old name, the citizens also called it "Old Rongshun". When it moved, it was renamed "Shanghai Old Restaurant" and featured Shanghai local flavor dishes. The Old Restaurant is the birthplace of Shanghai local cuisine, so it has the reputation of "tasting the source of Shanghai cuisine and staying in a century-old restaurant". The local specialties it serves are the best among new and old peers. The restaurant pays great attention to the characteristics of the dishes, and emphasizes freshness when buying ingredients and fineness when taking ingredients. It does not take anything that is not fresh or alive, especially fish and shrimp, which must be alive and kicking. In the long-term research and practice, the old restaurant applied different cooking methods to different raw materials and different parts, absorbed the cooking characteristics of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui, changed the thick oil and red sauce to the original flavor and cooking, kept the fragrance, crispness, freshness and tenderness without losing the nutrients, thus developing and enriching the local cuisine and forming a unique Shanghai flavor. The signature specialties created by the boss restaurant include eight-treasure duck, buckled three-thread, braised catfish, pepper and salt spareribs, squirrel yellow croaker, bamboo shoots and eel paste, etc. The traditional cooking skills of local cuisine are mainly passed down by word of mouth between masters and apprentices. Whether the so-called "Shanghai taste" is authentic or not, behind it is the essence of a whole set of cooking experience summed up by local cuisine masters in long-term cooking practice. These traditional skills and the essence of local cuisine are inseparable from the teachers and experience of practitioners. Shanghai Old Restaurant is currently the base camp of the traditional cooking skills of Shanghai local cuisine. The cooking skills here are clearly inherited from teachers, and the skills of practitioners are also the highest among the few remaining old-brand local cuisine restaurants.
