Embark on a Journey of Oceanic Indulgence

Shanghai, China, October 2025 – Acqua Seafood Restaurant proudly unveils its transformation and rebranding, marking a new chapter defined by the art of freshness. From the meticulous selection of ingredients to the refined presentation of each dish, the restaurant promises an elevated dining experience that celebrates the pure essence of the sea.

“Our new menu features a curated selection of time-honoured classics, blending the finest offerings from land and sea,” said Executive Chef Ménad Berkani. “By combining authentic craftsmanship with contemporary culinary techniques, we strive to create dishes that are both innovative and true to our guests’ favourite flavours.”

Fresh from the Source: A Commitment to Quality

At the heart of Acqua’s transformation lies an unwavering devotion to freshness. The newly designed open seafood bar resembles a miniature marine ecosystem, where live seafood is kept in aquariums that replicate their natural habitats. Guests may personally select their preferred catch from the crystal-clear tanks, transforming the act of choosing into an engaging and anticipatory part of the dining journey.

Cooked to Order: Authentic Flavours, Purely Preserved

Beyond ingredient selection, Acqua Seafood Restaurant perfects the concept of freshly caught, freshly cooked. Once selected, each seafood item is prepared immediately, with cooking methods tailored to its unique characteristics. Through contemporary techniques, the culinary team preserves the natural sweetness and delicate texture of every ingredient, allowing the ocean’s original flavours to shine through.

Refined Ambience and Immersive Service

Complementing its culinary renewal, Acqua introduces an enhanced dining ambience and elevated service standards. A newly appointed Seafood Concierge enriches the experience, offering expert recommendations on seafood selection, preferred cooking styles and wine pairings. From selection to service, guests are guided through a seamless and immersive exploration of the sea.

Chef’s Recommendations

Tropical Surf and Turf Salad
A vibrant prelude to the meal – crisp mixed greens layered with juicy mango and pineapple, seared tender beef slices and succulent shrimp, finished with a refreshing coconut-lime dressing. A perfect harmony of sweet, tangy and savoury notes that awaken the palate.

Seafood Soup with Potato and Cherry Tomato
A hearty and flavourful creation featuring scallops, prawns, mussels and squid, slow-cooked with tender potatoes and sweet cherry tomatoes. The long simmering infuses the broth with deep oceanic richness, balanced by the earthiness of the potatoes and the gentle acidity of the tomatoes.

Roasted Lobster
An Acqua signature. Fresh Boston lobster is grilled to perfection – the shell glowing deep crimson while the meat inside remains tender, juicy, and delicately sweet. With minimal seasoning, each bite celebrates the lobster’s natural essence.

Seafood Platter
Ideal for sharing, the platter showcases the finest catch of the day: shrimp, squid, salmon and scallops, each prepared to preserve its distinct flavour. Served with a lemon-butter dressing for a bright, refreshing finish – a true ocean feast on one plate.
