TMSK is the acronym of Tou Ming Si Kao. “Crystal Mind” in English . Liuli Gong Fang, who created this concept, says “we should eat with elegance, with gentility, with good taste, also with discrimination, with meaning fullness and with an open, inquiring mind. And all this in a typically Chinese style, updated of course representing the development of China. Great food, a unique venue and a daily show with a traditional Chinese quartet, that is anything but traditional.

Ye gathers taste of architecture, ambiance, artwork, and music mixed with intoxicating fragrance and tastes of the cuisine. Many small chambers of the old days have given way to one large room. The former gallery serves as an entryway, an idea taken from the west. It also has a veranda, which was used by the designer to reduce the formality of the dining environment. The design, however, is only half the wonder. Ye Shanghai's cuisine is just as impressive as its setting.

Lan Na, Means “Many rice fields” and is the name of an area of northern Thailand, this area was secured from invasion by Rama I, who was the father of the modern Thai nation, We believe that if a restaurant serves the food of a culture we must serve the food in an appropriate and culturally respectful context.

This stylish but casual eatery is a favorite of hip Chinese and expatriate regulars. The dining room is streamlined chic, its crisp white tablecloths contrasting the warm golden walls. Shanghainese food is the mainstay, with a few Sichuan dishes. From the extensive 26-page menu (in English, pinyin, and Chinese), you can order dishes like sliced "you tiao" (fried bread sticks) with shredded beef, a whole chicken in a green-onion soy sauce, and shaguo shizi tou (pork meatballs).

Since 1998, this authentic French restaurant offers a very unique French ambiance and food. This charming wine bar and bistro serves up tasty traditional French fare in a cozy 12-table hideaway. The degustation menu is a greatest hits of French cuisine: escargot, foie gras, and duck breast. The baked Alaska (ice cream over a sponge cake topped with meringue), a rare treat in Shanghai, must be ordered separately, and it's worth it. The wine list includes two dozen reasonably priced French selections.

The celebrated Paul Pairet has moved in Bund 18 and introduced a huge new menu which, although lacking in his former experimental edginess, delivers big where it counts: Pairet moderns up French classics. Diner favorites include the table side-served smoked salmon, exquisite foie gras (whether seared or terrined), beef bourguignon and the very best bread basket to be had in the city. The wine list is remarkably deep, and, thanks to a razzmatazz vacuum seal machine, the world’s top labels are available by the glass.

With an exotic Southeast Asian decor, views of the surrounding garden, and discreet sarong-clad waitstaff, this is one of the most romantic place to dine in Shanghai. The Indonesian food is authentic, rated above average though falling short of a rave. Tasty choices include otak-otak (grilled fish cake), chicken satay, king prawns with vermicelli and lemon grass, and stir-fried mushrooms with herbs and vegetables. Dining is on the second floor; reserve ahead for a window table. The bar on the first floor is open nightly until 1am.

Thefirst thing you notice about Shintori is the lack of a sign in the entrance. The cusine and drinks are very well presented. From the big jar of "rock and roll" salad, which the waitors will personally shake in front of you to mix in the dressing, to the selection of different designed sake cups and the beer glasses that detach from their bases, Shintori has many touches that impress. One of the best Japanese food in Shanghai.

This Shanghainese restaurant is housed in a wonderful old 1930's villa, on a lovely phoenix-tree lined street - Yongfu Road. The building was previously used as the British Consulate in Shanghai. Definitely one of the nicest in Shanghai. The Chinese food at Yongfoo Elite is less than spectacular. But none goes there for the food; this restaurant is one that will delight visitors to Shanghai and will give them a good impression of how the elite used to live in Shanghai during its glory days of the 1920's and 30's.

The signature restaurant of star Australian chef David Laris, this is one of the few Bund restaurants with the owner/chef in residence. The innovative continental-inspired cuisine is good and well presented, though service can often be problematic, with complaints about sloppy service and haughty staff being all too common. In our opinion, Laris survives more on hype than on substance.

From the outside, this stylish restaurant just looks like another beautifully restored Shikumen house and you could easily walk past it.

T8 offers diners fusion cuisine, a blend of east and west. Its Australian chef draws on his experience of cooking in multi-cultural. Extensive wine cellar with a good selection of French Champagnes.
