Michelin Star Restaurants in Shanghai

In 2014, Fodor’s Travel said that there are four main reasons to visit Shanghai.  These include sights new and old, multi cultural museums, one-of-a-kind shopping, and new food and drink.  They were right about all of those reasons!  We’d add the beautiful luxury accommodations and the city’s rising quality of cuisine to that list.  This exceptional quality can be seen when viewing the list of 26 Michelin Star Restaurants in Shanghai!  Today, we decided to comb that list and make our picks of musts in a culinary tour of this vibrant and dynamic city.

While there are actually two DaDong locations in Shanghai that each earned one Michelin star, we’re counting it them as one entry on our list.  But our hope is that you’ll sample both!  Renowned for their roast duck, both Da Dong locations can accommodate parties of all sizes and have private dining options as well.  Just make sure to make reservations!  This popular restaurant is not only busy but has a menu worth exploring beyond the roast duck.  Our final tip?  Add the braised sea cucumber with scallions to your order, you’ll be happy you did.  You can’t go wrong with this choice for fine dining in Shanghai!

UltraViolet

Billed as one of the world’s most high tech restaurants, UltraViolet marries food, wine, light, and sound.  In fact, it does it well enough to earn a two-star rating from Michelin.  Reservations are required as they seat ten people each evening who are instructed where to meet at Mr. & Mrs. Bund.  Guests are then driven to a location where they are seated at a communal table for the immersive 22-course dinner.  UltraViolet is a commanding presence on our list of Michelin Star Restaurants in Shanghai!

L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon

One of several locations, L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon boasts a 32-seat teppanyaki, the largest in Asia.  Upon arrival, guest will find a French gourmet restaurant inspired by Robuchon’s travels through Japan and Spain.  Ever since his passion has spread worldwide with his many restaurants.  Additionally, Robuchon offer an enviable menu  with views of Shanghai’s towers,  This two-star Michelin Star Restaurants in Shanghai is one of the beset settings if you are looking for a beautiful dinner in the city.  Reservations are possible, yet not a requirement.

Next up is another choice boating two Michelin stars.  Canton 8 is a Cantonese restaurant that is most notably the world’s least expensive two Michelin-star restaurant.  But don’t worry!  Chef Jie Ming Jian will dazzle you with his use of local fresh ingredients and his humble demeanor.  At the Michelin award ceremony, he said he never dreamed of earning such an accolade for his food.  Guests can expect to dine on lobster porridge and crystal prawn dumplings as well as dim sum.  Even though Canton 8 is the least expensive on the list, this in on of the Michelin Star Restaurants in Shanghai that does require a reservation.
