  2. Floor 68 of the Shanghai Tower, with The Bund spread out below like a very expensive screensaver, is where the Burgundy institution Maison Lameloise set up its China outpost. It's a fine-dining French restaurant, the kind where the tablecloths mean business, turning classic Gallic technique toward ingredients that cross cultures with more grace than the concept deserves to sound on paper. The Shanghai kitchen holds a Michelin star.

    French Seafood

    Dim as the bottom of the East China Sea, this French seafood restaurant in Shanghai's Rockbund sits where Suzhou Creek meets the Huangpu, and the room feels like it knows that. Leather banquettes, travertine walls, and restrained plating frame a menu that shifts with whatever the ocean is offering that season. The chef came up at Odette in Singapore, and the technique shows. It landed on Asia's 50 Best Restaurants list.

      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.
