Top 5: the best rooftop restaurants in Shanghai

Shanghai is an incredible city, in the last 20 years it has developed in terms of a modern metropolis while maintaining its historic core. The Bund is emblematic, framed by classic colonial buildings overlooking the Pudong district with avant-garde skyscrapers and the iconic Shanghai Tower.

In this short article I point out the 5 restaurants on the roof of the city where a lunch or a dinner become moments that are worth the trip alone.

1.    Roof 325
The museum dedicated to the history of the city, Shanghai History Museum, houses a restaurant on a beautiful terrace at the top of the building, an ideal place not only for an international culinary experience, but also for the incredible views, particularly impressive in the nights, when the urban skyline lights up amazingly.
 

2.    Riviera Songhelou
This restaurant offers a cuisine that, based on the foundations of tradition, is open to enhancing seasonal flavors and respecting a healthy diet. The terrace on the Bund offers a breathtaking view of the futuristic Pudong district.

3.    Kathleen’s Waitan
Here the very first quality of the products is essential. If the view from the terrace on the skyscrapers of Pudong is spectacular, as you can imagine, you can also choose another perspective. In fact you can admire the skyline while enjoying a romantic dinner aboard a boat. The same exquisite taste, different points of view!

4.    Flair Rooftop
If you climb to the top of this building you will have a feeling of vertigo! The terrace where you eat will undoubtedly bring you a WOW effect! You will experience an outdoor dining experience with exceptional views of the Peal Tower, the Bund and the Hongkou coast. The cuisine is characterized by delicacies modeled on tapas, but inspired by the flavors of the main Asian countries: Japan, Vietnam, Indonesia, India, Thailand and China.

5.    Pop American Brasserie
This brasserie sits atop the Three of the Bund, a truly unique space dedicated to art, music, culture and gastronomy. On this terrace, as the name suggests, you can enjoy contemporary American food paired with delicious cocktails. The Pop also has a lounge bar and two outdoor patios with wonderful views of the Bund and the famous Lujiazui, one of Pudong's most representative skyscrapers.
