Five of Shanghai's best international restaurants
where to eat in shanghai
From imaginative French cuisine to intimate modern
Australian degustation menus, Shanghai has a wealth of top international
restaurants to choose from. We list five of the very best
Mr
& Mrs Bund 450~500RMB/Person
If you only go to one Western restaurant in town, make
it the hip, buzzy Mr & Mrs Bund, especially as The Bund isn’t flush with
great Chinese restaurants. Local celebrity chef Paul Pairet does creative
French dishes on a bewilderingly long menu – think beef tartare, foie gras
crumble, picnic chicken with garlic aioli, ‘long short beef ribs’ and a lemon
tart served in a whole lemon. The vibe is loud, almost nightclub-y, and the
people-watching is top-notch.

M
on The Bund 550~600RMB/Person
M on the Bund is the original Bund restaurant, and
still packs in the cool crowd even though the quality European and middle
Eastern fine dining isn’t as imaginative as Mr & Mrs Bund along the street.
Dishes include a starter of pickled ox tongue, salted pork belly and smoked
chorizo; and a main of suckling pig with sauteed potatoes and Suzhou peaches.
The views are sensational, and you’ll normally see glamorous Hong Kong types
among your fellow diners.

6-10.30pm daily

Table
No. 1 400~450RMB/Person
South of the Bund in the uber-chic Waterhouse Hotel,
this is one of our favourite restaurants in the city. The dazzlingly creative
tapas-style dishes were created Jason Atherton, a Gordon Ramsay protege and the
man behind London restaurant, Maze. But while he’s not in the kitchen most of
the time, chef Scott Melville has kept the quality of the food high. Dishes
include gorgeous razor clams with chorizo; beef cheek with snails in bone
marrow; and a ‘PBJ’ dessert with peanut butter and jam on creamed rice
crispies.

Kota's
Kitchen 200~250RMB/Person
If you want a fun meal, this Beatles-themed izakaya
(restaurant-cum-bar) serves yakitori and Japanese comfort food with shochus and
draft beers. It’s small, eternally-packed and great fun, with charming service.
Highlights on the menu include a stunningly tender braised pork belly, beef
sashimi and tender chicken yakitori. Also ask for the homemade shochus, which
look like potions behind the bar. The only music you’ll hear is the Beatles,
though the theme isn’t tacky or overdone.
Open 6pm-1am daily
