While everyone else is painting the town green, why don’t you kick back and enjoy St. Patrick’s Day without leaving the couch? Your liver (and wallet) will thank you later. Did you know that 13 million pints of Guinness are consumed on St. Paddy’s Day worldwide?!

Who are we kidding – of course most of us will be roaming the streets of Shanghai tracking down leprechauns. But before that happens, let’s have a look at a lineup of dishes that will get you in the mood for Saturday. They’re all available through Sherpa’s, of course.

Irish Pub

Indulge in a yuge bucket of fries, chicken wings and jalapeno poppers for ¥108. Get yours while the promotion lasts!

Blarney Stone

An Irish staple, the Guinness stew (¥100) is a hearty dish featuring slow-cooked beef in the signature brew and red wine jus, served with mashed potatos, wholemeal bread and butter on the side. Boom.

O’Briens

You can never go wrong with a classic smoked turkey & cranberry sandwich (¥49).

Pie Society

We love the proper pie meal (¥85) from Pie Society with options like steak & kidney, steak & Guinness, vegetarian and vegan.

Tock’s Montreal Deli

Excellent for the day after: large plate of poutine (¥50) with extra cheese (¥15) and triple-decker Reuben sandwich (¥80) that’s filled to the brim with smoked beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and Thousand Island dressing.
