Run by Australian restaurateur Michelle Garnaut, the longstanding fine dining Bund establishment is definitely worth a pricey splurge when it comes to impressing guests and clients from out of town. Must-try includes the salt-crusted leg of lamb, crispy suckling pig and Pavlova, a traditional Australian fluffy meringue dessert.

While food and service have won mixed reviews, one thing we know for sure that won’t disappoint is the stunning view of the Huangpu river and colonial Bund architecture against the backdrop of Pudong skyscrapers. Its outdoor patio makes a choice location for Sunday brunch particularly in spring and autumn.
