Mr & Mrs Bund

Mr & Mrs Bund is the long-running French bistro from Paul Pairet (the 3-Michelin-star chef behind Ultraviolet). It occupies the 6th floor of Bund 18 with floor-to-ceiling windows facing the Pudong skyline — get a window table at sunset and the room becomes the postcard. The menu is intentionally playful: foie gras 'crunch,' pomme purée that is essentially mashed potato whipped with butter ratio, lemon tart 'my way.' The kitchen stays open until 1am six nights a week, which is rare in Shanghai and beloved by industry locals. Reservation strongly recommended 3–4 days ahead, especially for window tables. Expensive but reliable; great for date nights and first-time Bund dinners.
