Meet The Bund collected one Michelin star for its modern, elevated renditions of Fujian cuisine in the latest Michelin Guide Shanghai.

Inside The Bund Finance Center’s South Block, the modern chic dining room makes a good, first impression.

The establishment is serious about creating a complete dining experience — and its tasteful choice of furniture and careful seating arrangement does exactly that, allowing both maximum comfort and privacy.

Different corners have been balanced with soft lighting to create a nice ambience for small groups of diners, while a private room is available for an even more intimate setting.

Although Meet The Bund is an extremely popular spot for dinners, a relaxed lunch is also recommended, while enjoying the outside window view.

The restaurant’s head chef Chen Zhiping hails from Fujian Province and ensures every dish features quality regional ingredients with harmonious flavors. Chen was also honored with the Michelin Young Chef Award during last year’s ceremony.

Fujian cuisine is distinctive for its sublime seafood and excellent presentation. Its fare is also famous for quality soup stocks and flavoring bases.

The kitchen selects signature Fujian ingredients, applies classic cooking methods and elevates the whole experience to express their understanding of the regional cuisine.

The menu also reflects the chef’s love of local snacks. For example, Fujian Ngo hiang, also known as five-spice meat roll, is a unique local snack found in a food market or at a roadside stall.
