You’ve probably paired food and wine before, but what about coupling an illuminated apple-wasabi communion wafer with purple candles and a specially designed cathedral scent and visuals? Welcome to China’s most conceptual dining experience – and the only restaurant in Shanghai with three Michelin stars. The evening’s diners gather first at Mr & Mrs Bund for an aperitif before they’re whisked away to a secret location.
The meal consists of 22 courses – each accompanied by a different sensory mood (sounds, scents and images). This is Paul Pairet’s masterpiece, years in the making. Revolving around his signature mischievous creations, a dinner here is bound to be unlike anything you’ve ever experienced before.
Reservations must be made online; book months in advance – it's only 10 people a night.
