The Cupola at Three on the Bund, Shanghai
This may be the most exclusive restaurant in the world, housed in a historic building, from 1916, where you can shop a spectacular multi-story mall before and after dinner. There are only two rooms, one with eight tables, the other with only; both have mind bending views of Shang-hai, a night city, full of light. For food, you’ll have a choice of any of the four restaurants housed in Three on the Bund: Jean-Georges, Laris, New Heights, or the Whampoa Club. Either prix fixe or a la Carte.
Rated by Conde Nast Traveler as one of the twenty most memorable restaurants in the entire world.
