Since opening its first restaurant in 2017, Brut Eatery has attracted a steady flow of customers with its easygoing dishes and creative indie vibe. Now, an exceptionally family-oriented Brut Eatery has opened in Pudong's burgeoning Century Park area, marking the brand's third outpost in Shanghai.
Jungle themed murals complemented by bespoke furniture, and a delectable menu that's paired with a selection of wines – these are just a couple of reasons why you should visit this hidden gem. Here's a look inside.

The new Pudong branch fosters a kid-friendly environment for families to come together and indulge in healthy dishes. Building on the modern rustic style which Brut is renowned for (rattan lamp shades, refurbished wooden armchairs and pastoral designs), this bistro also includes a section with storybooks, colored pencils and scraps of paper for little ones. Kids can set themselves up on the light wood stairs to read or build a LEGO model, all under the watchful eye of a cuddly teddy.

The food served here follows a similar vein to Brut's other venues, and champions natural, healthy dishes. Energizing salad bowls aside, Brut also creates new recipes based on local and expat-friendly tastes. Their burger brings together a wholemeal steamed bun with a regular beef patty, topped with a generous slathering of chilli sauce. Or, try their tastebud-awakening strawberry kimchi veggie bowl. While adults explore uncharted cuisines, kids can choose from a selection of pasta and rice, before enjoying an ice cream-topped waffle to seal the meal.

A quick glance around tells you the bistro is in the vicinity of a family-friendly residential neighborhood. Nestled inside the Zendai Big Thumb Plaza (approxiamtely 10-minute walk from Century Park), Brut Eatery is a much-needed sanctuary to rest the legs and savor the organic eats. The food and drinks here also make for great picnic contenders, and you can count on the barista to pack up sandwiches and coffees using biodegradable containers.
