The Top 100 Restaurants Near Ling Long

  1. Rank 1. 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.




  2. Rank 4. Jin Xuan

    Cantonese





  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 12. Lao Zheng Xing

    Shanghainese



  5. Rank 14. Gong De Lin (West Nanjing Road)

    Shanghainese Vegetarian




  6. Rank 17. Hakkasan

    Modern Cantonese


  7. Rank 18. Vivant by Johnny Pham

    Contemporary French




  8. Rank 21. Shanghai Tavern

    Contemporary American


  9. Rank 22. Hao Sheng

    Shanghainese



  10. Rank 24. 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.




  11. Rank 27. Mr & Mrs Bund

    Contemporary French


  12. 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.



  13. Rank 30. Lu Bo Lang

  14. Rank 33. Sui Tang Li

  17. Rank 40. Bai Rong

    Shandong


  18. Rank 41. Numata Sou

    Tempura Japanese





  19. Rank 45. 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.




  20. Rank 48. Tou Zao

    Cantonese











  21. Rank 58. Sole

    Cantonese



  22. Rank 60. Les Nuages

    Chinese-European New American


  23. Rank 61. Obscura

    Sichuan


  24. Rank 62. Narisawa

    Japanese






  25. Rank 67. Fu 1088

    Shanghainese



  26. Rank 69. Fu 1015

    Shanghainese



  27. Rank 71. Fu 1039

    Shanghainese


  28. Rank 72. Polux

    Bistro French



  29. 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.




  30. Rank 77. Yè Shanghai

    Shanghainese




  31. Rank 80. Mao Long

  32. Rank 82. Chun
