Over 100 food and beverage outlets are distributed throughout the Shanghai Expo's five major sections.

Some countries have brought a little taste from home by bringing their top chefs and restaurants to their pavilions.

World-renowned chefs and dishes

The French Pavilion will have twin chefs Jacques & Laurent Pourcel. Their Mediterranean feast named 6 Sens costs around 500 yuan per person. You can also get a simple bite for around two to three hundred yuan.

The Japanese Pavilion will house a famous restaurant called "Murasaki." They are going to provide a three-thousand yuan per person feast named Kaseki-Ryori. Three top chefs are flying from Japan to prepare the most authentic Kaseki-Ryori dishes.

The German Pavilion brewery is a must stop for any beer fan. Just make sure you don't stay in there too long or it will be lights out.

If you have room for more food, the "chocolate factory" in the Belgium Pavilion is one of the best dessert choices. You can watch the chocolate-making process and then taste Belgian chocolates free-of-charge!

Chinese cuisines and snacks

Braised Dongpo Pork, Chairman Mao's Red- Braised Pork, fish filets in hot chili oil and steamed buns with crab meat. These are typical food of China's eight regional cuisines, and will be available at the catering center on the western side of the Expo site.

For those who want to try the more traditional Chinese snacks you can visit the Chinese Food Street that offers Quanjude Roast Duck, Tai mushrooms from the Wutaishan Mountain, Jiangxi red glutinous rice, Hubei catfish with perilla, Tibetan wild mushrooms, Ningxia eight-ingredient porridge, Hong Kong pineapple oil, and beef noodles Taiwan-style.
