About Epicerie Caviste 62 Lebec
For Shanghai readers considering Epicerie Caviste 62 Lebec, the key facts are straightforward: the venue is in Shanghai, the dress code is casual, it has Star Wine List recognition for 2026. That makes it a relevant listing for guests researching wine-recognized venues in the city.
Use those details carefully. The Star Wine List marker is a useful signal, but it should not be stretched into assumptions about the full experience. If your plan depends on food, group capacity, timing, or a particular style of service, confirm those details directly before building the evening around it. For alternatives to compare in the same planning set, look at Club InterContinental, Leaves & Vines Lobby Lounge, Pompette Salon, Rolling Bar, or Cacti Bar.
A Shanghai venue for casual wine-focused planning

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Epicerie Caviste 62 Lebec reads like a small piece of provincial France dropped onto Xinhua Road. The red-and-black storefront punctuates a leafy, slow-moving lane and the counter visible from the pavement signals a hybrid deli–wine shop–café that favors daily rituals over spectacle. The interior’s counter format and the visual references to traditional épiceries give the place a classic, quietly charming character. Everything in the description emphasizes a measured pace and modesty: this is a neighbourhood stop that feels as if it has arrived complete, rather than been built as a trendy destination for the city’s weekend crowds.
Best For
This is a neighbourhood provisioning spot built for everyday use: pick-me-up mornings, light brunches and slow Sunday afternoons. The copy specifically flags Tuesday mornings and quiet weekend afternoons as natural times to visit, so it’s ideal for solo errands, casual coffee-and-pastry breaks, or a low-key meet-up rather than a formal night out. Because the format sits between deli counter, café and wine shop, visits tend to be short and practical rather than full-course affairs—perfect for locals and anyone looking for a relaxed, unfussy option on Xinhua Road.
Ordering Tips
The counter is the centrepiece—expect laminated pastries and fruit tarts on display—so start with the baked goods the text highlights. The épicerie-caviste format also suggests a selection of deli items and wines for takeaway, making it a convenient provisioning stop for breakfast or a casual brunch at home. The description emphasizes the visible counter and neighbourhood use, so anticipate counter service and takeaway-friendly portions rather than a plated multi-course meal. If you want a gentle, authentic taste of the place, choose a tart or pastry and pair it with something from the shop’s wine or deli selection.

Bar context
How it compares in Shanghai
Epicerie Caviste 62 Lebec is the wine-focused pick in this set, while Cacti Bar and Rolling Bar read as better choices when the night is bar-led rather than bottle-led. Choose the caviste for a smaller group that wants to talk through wine; choose Rolling Bar if the group wants a more conventional drinks stop with less commitment to wine as the theme.
For business drinks or a polished celebration, Club InterContinental and Leaves & Vines Lobby Lounge are safer for guests who expect hotel-lounge comfort and predictable pacing. Epicerie Caviste 62 Lebec is more specific and likely more rewarding for wine people, but less flexible for mixed groups unless everyone is aligned on the format.
Pompette Salon is the practical cross-shop if the occasion needs a softer social setting while staying drinks-focused. If the priority is wine credibility, start with Epicerie Caviste 62 Lebec; if the priority is broad group comfort, move toward the lounges.
