  5. Rank 30. Yong Fu (Hongkou)

    Ningbo Zhejiang

    Ningbo cooking occupies a specific lane: intensely briny, fermented-forward, and proud of it. This upscale restaurant on the 56th floor of Raffles City The Bund leans into that tradition, anchoring the menu around wild seafood pulled from the East China Sea that morning. The room runs to aubergine walls, linen, and chandeliers, which creates a pleasant contrast with dishes built around deliberately pungent ingredients. It holds a Michelin star.

  15. 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.


  16. Rank 117. Fumée

    Modern Chinese

    The name refers to smoke, and the kitchen earns it, charring and curing its way through a "province-less" take on Chinese cooking that borrows freely from France without tipping into fusion cliché. Chef Reina Chen runs an eleven-course tasting menu that pairs each dish with cocktails, landing combinations like duck piped with prawn mousse or glutinous rice beside Jinhua ham and sea urchin. Asia's 50 Best lists it at number 65 for 2026.


  17. Pork sliced thin enough to hold up to the light is the calling card here, a modern Sichuan restaurant in Chaoyang where the chef, a native of Emei, treats the cuisine's famously layered heat as a palette rather than a blunt instrument. The room draws a crowd that takes its Sichuan seriously, and the kitchen obliges with food that is fiery and precise in equal measure. It holds a spot in the Michelin Guide.


  18. 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.

  19. A wave sculpture runs the full length of the ceiling, which tells you something about how seriously this place takes its own idea. Chao Yue is a fine-dining Chaozhou restaurant where the kitchen reinterprets Chiu Chow culinary tradition through prix fixe menus built to feel like a single continuous argument. The service is unusually considered, and the room is quiet enough that it actually matters.

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
