Shanghai restaurants for the discerning diner

If you’re keen to explore the myriad cuisines originating from across China, these Shanghai restaurants do a great job of acquainting your palate with a range of interesting flavours, ingredients and cooking techniques. From a discreet Japanese bistro famed for its authentic flavours and meaty delicacies (the ox tongue and soft chicken bones are a must-eat at Toriyasu), and a restaurant synonymous with the best dim sums in the city, to top-notch Thai, traditional Taiwanese and mouth-numbing Hunanese fare—the best way to experience Shanghai is by eating right through it.
