  7. Rank 7. Meet the Bund

    Fujian

    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.

  9. Rank 9. Meet the Bund

    Fujian

    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.

  86. Rank 86. Ming Pavilion

    Minnan

    Hokkien cooking is a rarity in a city where Cantonese fine dining fills almost every white-tablecloth room, and Ming Pavilion, on the eighth floor of the Island Shangri-La, is quietly making the case for Fujian flavours at a formal sit-down level. The kitchen runs on regional conviction, and even the weekend brunch menu, dim sum in name only, arrives full of whelks and seaweed soups that Cantonese brunch regulars won't recognise. A resident tea mixologist handles pairings throughout.

      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.
