The Top 100 Places to Eat Near Yong Yi Ting



  1. Rank 3. Jin Xuan

    Cantonese


  2. Rank 4. Ling Long

    Contemporary Chinese

    White tablecloths, gloved service, crimson walls hung with avant-garde Chinese art, and a menu that gets progressively weirder as the night goes on. Ling Long is a fine dining restaurant on the Bund built around the concept of umami, with an eight-course set that traces a cross-China journey through regional terroirs. It holds a Michelin star and ranks on Asia's 50 Best list. The room is formal; the cooking is decidedly not.






  3. The Cerea family's fine-dining room sits on the third floor above the Bund, all comfortable bourgeois elegance with a wine list to match. The kitchen hunts down local Chinese produce and treats it with Italian discipline, which sounds like a concept and eats like a conviction. Paccheri alla Vittorio travels well. Two Michelin stars and a spot in the top five of 50 Top Italy's global ranking confirm the room is playing at a serious altitude.









  4. Rank 17. Gong De Lin (West Nanjing Road)

    Shanghainese Vegetarian



  5. Rank 19. Les Nuages

    Chinese-European New American



  6. Rank 21. Hao Sheng

    Shanghainese


  7. Rank 22. The Meat

    Steakhouse




  8. Rank 25. Mr & Mrs Bund

    Contemporary French


  9. Rank 26. Hakkasan

    Modern Cantonese


  10. Rank 27. Lao Zheng Xing

    Shanghainese



  11. Rank 29. Shanghai Tavern

    Contemporary American



  12. Rank 31. Kanpai Classic (Huangpu)

    Australian Wagyu Barbecue



  13. Rank 33. 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.


  14. Rank 34. Vivant by Johnny Pham

    Contemporary French


  15. Min Cai, the cooking of Fujian province, rarely gets the fine dining treatment, and Shanghai's 56th floor is an unlikely place to find it done seriously. Meet the Bund is a formal tasting restaurant where the chef reframes a regional tradition that tends to get overlooked in favor of flashier Chinese cuisines. The broth for the signature slow-cooked abalone dish takes several days to build, which tells you the kitchen's general attitude toward shortcuts.






  16. Rank 40. Tou Zao

    Cantonese



  17. 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.


  18. Rank 43. Bai Rong

    Shandong




  19. Rank 46. Numata Sou

    Tempura Japanese


  20. Rank 47. 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.


  21. Rank 48. Lu Bo Lang

    Shanghainese

    Cantonese
