Shanghai Restaurant Tips by jlanza29

Restaurant Name: Laris at 3 on the Bund

I have to say this probably the best restaurant I have ever been to in the entire world, and boy I have been to some great restaurants (read my other travel tips). From the minute you walk in you know your at a special place. We had probably the best martini's ever at the ultra cool bar area before being seated near a window facing the Pudong skyline. The menu is heavy on fresh seafood. The Chef himself, David Laris(an Australian), buy's all the seafood everyday, fresh, so the food is outrageous good !!!!! The service is perfect. Everyone speaks perfect English. The price's are standard international prices so this isn't a cheap place to eat; especially when China is sooo cheap. The prices run from 100 RMB to 450 RMB a plate, but it's well worth the prices. After looking over the 30 page wine list, I had seared scallops with parma ham....WOW !!!! and then as a main course, lobster ravioli's in lemon sauce !!! WOW !!!!! and the house made chocolate's are out of this world !!!!! Next time I will I come here I am gonna have the chef's 8 course meal. How can you go wrong with everything being sooo good !!!! So this place is a PERFECT 10 out of 10 !!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT !!!!!!

Restaurant Name: M on the Bund

I have to say this place isn't bad, but it isn't the best in Shanghai like everyone says. The service is OK, the wine list is extensive and expensive, and the menu is a bit short on the selections. So after going to Laris (please read my other travel tip) the night before we were disappointed with the food here. The place was crowded and loud, and snagging a table on the terrace is almost impossible. Do go outside and enjoy the best view without a doubt of the Bund. Worth the trip here just for the view !!!!!

Favorite Dish: Had slow roasted leg of lamb....tasty, but expensive !!!!

Restaurant Name: T8 Restaurant

What is the best restaurant in Shanghai ??? Laris, T8, Jade 36 ????? T8 is without a doubt is in the running !!!! Located in the chic French Concession, this place is a bit hard to find, but once you find it it well worth the trip here !!!!!! Try to ask for a table downstairs where you can see the open kitchen work it's magic. The menu is short and sweet, the wine list long but simple. The price's are on par with other high end restaurants in Shanghai, and the food is to die for !!!!! Upstairs feels like a private club, less noise, and the service is perfect. HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT !!!! check out the web site for the full menu !!!!!
