Shanghai redefines eating. You can have a 4D dining experience, Champagne brunch, and cut-price late-night meals. The financial hub of the country is bustling with culinary advancements and the chefs are not afraid to introduce new techniques to enhance the flavours.

Food in Shanghai is sweet and generously blessed with soy sauce. It is influenced by the sea too, as is apparent in the dishes. The city is home to some of the best Michelin-star restaurants, but also has an active street food scene. Another cuisine that is striking in Shanghai is the Halal style or Muslim food.
