Shanghai it’s almost impossible to give anything more than a broad overview of the city’s culinary landscape, but we’ve collected a few personal picks that give a taster of Shanghai’s stylish dining options.
LAGO BY JULIAN SERRANO Talented US chef Julian Serrano recently introduced his famous restaurant from Las Vegas to the Bellagio Shanghai, bringing a dining concept that highlights Italian small plates and side dishes – following the modern trend of “appetisers as the new main course”. LAGO offers Italian dishes such as vitello tonnato (cold sliced veal), strozzapreti pasta and ABG dry- aged tomahawk steak, and if you love dessert, you shouldn’t miss the classic Italian affogato. The restaurant’s interior design has a space-age
feeling; walking through the long, glass-decorated tunnel at the entrance you’ll see a shining red-hued wine cabinet, within which more than 300 bottles of wines from around the world are stored (the accent is on Italian, of course). The spacious dining area is connected to an outdoor terrace with expansive views of the Huangpu River and Lujiazui district (there’s also a private dining room). OPEN 6–10.30pm daily ADDRESS 6/F, 188 Beisuzhou Road, Hongkou District CONTACT +86 21 3680 6777;

ULTRAVIOLET BY PAUL PAIRET The mysterious Ultraviolet is hard to categorise. For starters you won’t even know where it is until your booking is confirmed – and that’s hard enough to do as there’s only one table with ten seats. You also need to pay for your meal in advance at the time of booking. This three-star Michelin restaurant is more artistic than
luxurious, using technology to activate your emotions and trigger your taste buds. During the 20-course feast, graphics are shown on the white walls and accompanied by lights, sounds and smells, activating your gastronomic imagination. Paul Pairet’s avant-garde style surprises you with the taste of each course; combined with sounds and imagery designed to tell a story, it’s a unique multi-sensory experience that’s well worth the extra effort to book. OPEN Tue to Sat from 6.30pm ADDRESS Meet at Mr & Mrs Bund restaurant, 6/F Bund 18, 18 Zhongshan Dong Yi Road, Huangpu CONTACT
