The Top 100 Restaurants Near Polux

  1. Rank 1. Polux

    Bistro French




  2. Rank 4. 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.



  3. Rank 6. Vivant by Johnny Pham

    Contemporary French



  4. 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.




  5. Rank 11. Lao Zheng Xing

    Shanghainese



  6. Rank 13. Yè Shanghai

    Shanghainese







  7. 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.




  8. Rank 22. Mao Long

    Shanghainese



  9. Rank 24. Chun

    Shanghainese




  10. Rank 27. Tou Zao

    Cantonese







  11. Rank 33. Yunhe Noodle (Huangpu)

    Shanghainese Noodles



  12. Rank 35. 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.






  13. Rank 40. Sole

    Cantonese


  14. Rank 41. Lu Bo Lang

    Shanghainese




  15. Rank 44. 1929 by Guillaume Galliot

  17. Rank 49. Cong's Kitchen

    Shanghainese


  18. Rank 50. Cuivre

    Contemporary French





  19. Rank 54. 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.
