The Bund & People's Square
French chef Joël Robuchon has earned two Michelin stars for his Bund 18 restaurant. Much the same as in his other luxury restaurants, this is definitely the place to treat yourself to classic French fare, heavy on butter and foie gras. The decor is dark hues of red and black. Asia's supposedly largest teppanyaki bar sits in the centre.
Downstairs is the Salon de thé Joël Robuchon offering an affordable array of sandwiches and cakes.
