All diners want their dining to be an enjoyment. They ask for not only satisfaction of taste bud and stomach, but also a pleasing environment. However, non-smoking diners usually face a tough problem as how to get away from the odor of smoking. To be helpful, here are five smoke-free restaurants in Shanghai.

1 California Pizza Kitchen (pizza)

In tune with the healthy west coast American lifestyle, California Pizza Kitchen bans smoking inside the restaurant. Manager Wang puts it simply: "It's not good for the kids and it's not good for health."

Location: 109 Retail Plaza Shanghai Centre, No. 1376, Nanjing Xilu, Jingan

2 Wagas (deli & sandwich)

The Huaihai Lu and Nanjing Xi Lu restaurants went officially smoke-free as of April 2006. "Many of our customers support this decision. If someone complains, we tell them we want to create a truly healthy eating environment," says Manager Huang. "And we'll encourage him or her to quit too!" she jokes. If you need your Wagas fix but have to light up, visit the Xianxia Lu branch, which has both smoking and non-smoking sections.
