  10. Rank 43. Fu He Hui

    Refined vegetarian

    Three floors of earth-toned private dining rooms sit quietly behind the plane trees of the Former French Concession, feeling less like a restaurant than a place designed to lower your blood pressure. Fu He Hui is vegetarian fine dining with two Michelin stars and a spot on the World's 50 Best list, where set menus rotate quarterly and each course spotlights a single vegetable, fruit, or flower, paired with regional teas.

  16. Rank 60. 102 House

    Cantonese

    Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the Huangpu River and the Pudong skyline, which is a lot of competition for what's on the plate. This is a formal Cantonese banquet restaurant on the Bund, small enough that a few private rooms account for most of the seating. The kitchen revives a style of multi-course celebratory cooking that had largely receded from view, with seasonal menus and a sweet-and-sour pork whose sauce rotates by season. It landed on Asia's 50 Best Restaurants list.


  17. Rank 61. Obscura

    Sichuan



  18. Rank 63. Sole

    Cantonese








  19. Rank 70. Vivant by Johnny Pham

  20. Rank 71. Lao Zheng Xing

    Shanghainese





  21. The brick-red interior is a deliberate nod to the Minnan courtyard houses of southern Fujian, set against floor-to-ceiling windows with the Shanghai skyline doing its thing beyond. This is Fujianese fine dining, a regional cuisine that prizes the clean, layered flavour of the ingredient itself over any attempt to dress it up. The tea pairings run from jasmine to aged pu-erh, and the kitchen holds a spot on Asia's 50 Best Restaurants list.




  22. Velvet tufted chairs, vintage blue bricks, and art collected from assorted corners of the world set the mood at this Hui cuisine restaurant inside the Jin Jiang Cypress Hotel. The kitchen sources most of its ingredients directly from Anhui, including mouldy tofu, a regional staple that sounds alarming and tastes like a revelation. The braised pork trotter simmers in a marinade that's been going for decades, which is either dedication or stubbornness, possibly both.
