How this list is chosen: Restaurants holding Michelin stars, listed alphabetically. Updated October 8, 2026.
102 House
2 Michelin stars
Chef Xu Jingye's two-Michelin-starred 102 House Shanghai resurrects ancient Cantonese banquet traditions within The Bund's House of Roosevelt, where seasonal tasting menus and signature sweet and sour pork showcase nearly two decades of culinary mastery across just 40 intimate seats.
102 House Shanghai
2 Michelin stars
102 House occupies the fifth floor of the House of Roosevelt on Shanghai's Bund, with windows onto the Huangpu River and the Bund skyline. Chef-owner Xu Jingye cooks seasonal Cantonese banquet cuisine in a small dining room with three private rooms, and the restaurant holds a Star Wine List White Star.
8 1/2 Otto e Mezzo Bombana (Shanghai)
2 Michelin stars · Deep wine list
Two Michelin stars and a Black Pearl 2 Diamond ranking place 8 1/2 Otto e Mezzo Bombana among Shanghai's most credentialed Italian tables. Set in the historic Yuanmingyuan Road corridor of the Bund district, the restaurant holds a position within the city's premium European dining tier that few Italian addresses on the mainland match. Ranked #146 in Opinionated About Dining's Asia list for 2025, it draws a clientele that treats pasta as seriously as it treats wine.
Amazing Chinese Cuisine
2 Michelin stars
Shanghai’s Chaoshan cooking has a serious address in Amazing Chinese Cuisine, a five-room villa format where high-heat technique, seafood handling, and pre-ordered regional dishes define the meal. Black Pearl three-diamond recognition in 2025 and 2026, La Liste scores, and OAD Asia listings place it in the city’s tighter luxury Chinese dining tier rather than the casual Chaozhou canon.
Bao Li Xuan
2 Michelin stars · Wine Spectator Award of Excellence · Deep wine list
Bao Li Xuan holds two Michelin stars and a Black Pearl Diamond at the Bvlgari Hotel's Chinese restaurant on Beijing Road East, Huangpu. Chef Bill Fu leads a Cantonese kitchen where hand-crafted dim sum and precision roasting define the format. La Liste places it among the upper tier of mainland Chinese restaurants in 2025, with a 350-label wine list weighted toward Piedmont, Tuscany, and Champagne.
Bao Li Xuan
2 Michelin stars · Deep wine list
Bao Li Xuan sits in Jing’an’s heritage-commercial core, where Shanghai’s appetite for Cantonese dining meets the city’s taste for polished rooms and business-grade hospitality. The draw is less novelty than cultural fluency: Cantonese technique, private-dining expectations, and the formality that Shanghai applies to serious Chinese restaurants.
Canton 8 (Huangpu)
2 Michelin stars
Canton 8 holds two Michelin stars at a ¥¥ price point on the Bund, a combination that sits distinctly within Shanghai's Cantonese dining tier. Positioned on the fifth floor of Three on the Bund, it frames contemporary reinterpretations of classic Cantonese technique through chef Cody Ma, earning recognition from both the Michelin Guide and La Liste in 2025. Advance booking is advised.
Canton Table
1 Michelin star
On the 35th floor of Three on the Bund, Canton Table brings Michelin-recognised Cantonese cooking to one of Shanghai's most charged addresses. The room, remodelled in 2019 with bare cement bricks, terrazzo floors, and qipao murals, frames a short, season-driven menu that covers Cantonese barbecue, dim sum, and specialty dishes executed by a head chef with more than two decades in professional kitchens.
Cheng Long Hang (Huangpu)
1 Michelin star
A Michelin-starred Shanghainese institution on Jiujiang Road, Cheng Long Hang has built its reputation around hairy crab, running its own farm to control quality from water to table. The stuffed crab shell with steamed meringue, packed with meat and roe from three crabs per portion, is the clearest argument for why the mid-price tier in Shanghai's traditional dining scene still delivers serious cooking.
Da Dong (Xuhui)
1 Michelin star
Da Dong's Xuhui outpost brings the Beijing institution's signature roast duck to Shanghai, earning a Michelin star in 2024. The menu extends well beyond the duck, with braised sea cucumber, a seasonal program tied to China's 24 solar terms, and a dining room that fills fast after 6pm. Come with a group; the format rewards breadth.
Da Vittorio Shanghai
2 Michelin stars · Deep wine list
Da Vittorio Shanghai carries two Michelin stars and a 95-point La Liste ranking to the Bund Financial Center, where Italian technique meets the expectations of one of China's most demanding dining scenes. Under Chef Romuald Fassenet, the kitchen threads European classical precision through a menu that reads Chinese inflection without losing its Bergamo lineage. For milestone occasions on the Huangpu waterfront, few tables in the city carry comparable weight.
Fu 1015
1 Michelin star
Housed in a heritage mansion on Yuyuan Road, Fu 1015 is the original address in Tony Lu's Fu restaurant group, holding a Michelin star and ranked 51st in Asia by Opinionated About Dining (2024). The kitchen focuses on home-style Shanghainese cooking, with river fish and meticulously prepared eel dishes anchoring a menu that rewards those who know what to order.
Fu 1088
1 Michelin star
Sixteen private rooms, tiled entryways, and wood-panelled corridors set the register before a single dish arrives. The 2025 Black Pearl Diamond and 2024 Michelin Star confirm its standing in a competitive field.
Fu He Hui
2 Michelin stars
Fu He Hui makes Shanghai's plant-led fine dining feel serious rather than corrective: vegetables, fungi, grains and tea carry the meal instead of imitating meat. Its recognition across Michelin, Black Pearl, La Liste, Opinionated About Dining and Asia's 50 Best places it in the city's luxury dining conversation, but its discipline belongs to a narrower vegetarian lineage.
Gastro Esthetics at DaDong
1 Michelin star
Gastro Esthetics at DaDong brings the Beijing duck institution's formula to Pudong, wrapping a Michelin one-star experience in a dining room designed as a direct reference to Van Gogh's Almond Blossom. The 45-day-old Peking duck, carved tableside, anchors a menu that extends into contemporary Chinese territory. At ¥¥¥ pricing, it occupies the serious end of Shanghai's modern Chinese tier without crossing into the city's most rarefied bracket.
Il Ristorante - Niko Romito
1 Michelin star · Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence · Deep wine list
Situated on the 47th floor of the Bulgari Hotel Shanghai, Il Ristorante - Niko Romito brings a Michelin-trained Italian sensibility to Jing'An's luxury dining tier. The room trades on Murano glass, marble, and panoramic views; the kitchen on disciplined classical technique with measured contemporary inflection. A 2025 Black Pearl Diamond recognition places it firmly in Shanghai's upper bracket for European fine dining.
Imperial Treasure Fine Chinese Cuisine
2 Michelin stars
Imperial Treasure Fine Chinese Cuisine holds two Michelin stars at its Yi Feng Galleria address in Huangpu, placing it among Shanghai's most decorated Cantonese tables. Ranked #295 in the Opinionated About Dining Asia list for 2025 and awarded 79 points by La Liste, it operates at a tier where the occasion often matches the meal. The Bund-adjacent setting and formal Cantonese format make it a natural choice for milestone dining.
Ji Pin Court
2 Michelin stars
Ji Pin Court holds two Michelin stars in both 2024 and 2025, placing it among Shanghai's most decorated Cantonese addresses. Set on the second floor of the 1788 Plaza in Jing'an, it operates at the ¥¥¥ price tier, accessible relative to its award tier. La Liste scored it 76 points in 2026 and 79 in 2025, reflecting a kitchen that sustains rather than chases recognition.
Jin Xuan
1 Michelin star
Jin Xuan holds a 2024 Michelin star and sits above the Huangpu River with panoramic views of the Pudong skyline. The menu ranges across classical Cantonese territory, from imported Australian black cod to New Zealand lobster, with dim sum that draws a loyal following. Among Shanghai's hotel Cantonese rooms at the ¥¥¥¥ tier, it occupies a strong position on both setting and culinary credential.
Le Comptoir de Pierre Gagnaire
1 Michelin star
Set within a remodelled 1930s villa inside Capella Shanghai on Jianguo Road West, Le Comptoir de Pierre Gagnaire holds a Michelin star and a Black Pearl Diamond, placing it among Xuhui's most serious French tables. The kitchen pairs classical French technique with Shanghainese inflections, while the vine-wrapped terrace and 20-seat bar extend the experience well beyond the dining room.
Lei Garden (Pudong)
1 Michelin star
Lei Garden's Pudong branch holds a 2024 Michelin star and draws steady crowds for Cantonese cooking that spans morning dim sum to premium seafood and abalone at dinner. Booking ahead is not optional here, the room fills quickly, particularly at lunch. Set menus and seasonal stir-fries make the price tier more accessible than the premium dinner list might suggest.
Ling Long Shanghai
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
Ling Long Shanghai brings neo-Chinese cooking to Xujiahui's Raffles City, where Chef Jason Liu frames a season-driven menu in acts, each course merging classical Chinese technique with European finesse. A Michelin star (2024), Black Pearl 1 Diamond (2025), and La Liste recognition underline its position among Shanghai's contemporary Chinese tier. The format rewards patient, attentive dining rather than quick meals.
Lu Style (Huangpu)
1 Michelin star
Lu Style (Huangpu) brings Shandong cuisine to central Shanghai with Michelin One Star (2024) and Black Pearl One Diamond (2025) recognition. The menu centres on daily Bohai Sea seafood, adjusted by season, with the Jiaodong cold appetiser platter among its most discussed dishes. At ¥¥¥ pricing, it occupies the mid-to-upper tier of Shanghai's regional Chinese dining scene.
Maison Lameloise
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
The first Asian outpost of the storied Burgundy institution, Maison Lameloise occupies the 68th floor of a Pudong tower with 180-degree views of The Bund. Holding a Michelin star and Black Pearl 2 Diamond recognition, the kitchen pairs classical Burgundy technique with Chinese regional produce, Yunnan mushrooms, green Sichuan pepper, against one of Shanghai's most arresting dining backdrops.
Meet the Bund
1 Michelin star
Meet the Bund places Fujian cooking inside Shanghai’s premium dining conversation, with Chen Zhiping leading a kitchen known for province-specific technique rather than generic coastal luxury. Recognition from Black Pearl, Michelin Plate, La Liste, Opinionated About Dining and Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants gives it unusual critical density for a Fujian address in Shanghai.
Meet the Bund (Zhongshan Dong Er Road)
1 Michelin star
Meet the Bund (Zhongshan Dong Er Road) belongs to the polished Bund Finance Center dining circuit, where Shanghai’s riverfront appetite for ceremony meets mall-level convenience. The room’s brass ceiling panels and chandeliers set the tone: formal, urban, and built for guests who want the Bund’s visual grammar without leaving the controlled rhythm of a luxury commercial complex.
Ming Court
1 Michelin star
A Michelin-starred Cantonese address in Shanghai's Minhang District, Ming Court draws on its Hong Kong lineage while adapting dim sum classics to Shanghainese sensibility. Under chef Li Yuet Faat, the kitchen holds a Black Pearl Diamond and an Opinionated About Dining Asia ranking, making it among the more decorated Cantonese rooms operating outside the Pearl River Delta.
Moose (Pudong)
1 Michelin star
Moose (Pudong) holds a Black Pearl 1 Diamond (2025) and anchors the Jiangzhe tradition in one of Shanghai's most accessible fine-dining formats. Huaiyang cooking takes centre stage, with set menus and seasonal specials built around classical technique, braised pork belly, sautéed river shrimps, and a rotating catch of the day worth asking about at the table. Booking ahead is advised for weekend sittings.
Narisawa
1 Michelin star
The Shanghai outpost of the acclaimed Tokyo original, Narisawa brings its satoyama philosophy to China with a seasonal set menu that favours Chinese ingredients shaped by Japanese technique. The tableside 'Bread of the Forest' remains the defining ritual. At the ¥¥¥¥ tier, this is occasion dining with genuine culinary conviction behind it.
Obscura
1 Michelin star
A Michelin-starred and Black Pearl one-diamond address on Sichuan Road, Obscura runs a prix-fixe seasonal menu that recasts Chinese culinary memory through Western technique. A travelling duo of chefs keeps the kitchen moving across regional China, surfacing ingredients and references that shift with each season. The non-alcoholic pairing program is worth serious attention.
Oriental Sense & Palate
1 Michelin star
Oriental Sense & Palate occupies a historical mansion in Lujiazui's Shiji Boulevard, bringing Chao Zhou cuisine to one of Shanghai's most architecturally considered dining rooms. The kitchen holds both a 2024 Michelin star and a 2025 Black Pearl Diamond, placing it among the few addresses in the city where Teochew traditions are executed at formal fine-dining scale. The deep-fried 20-day-old pigeon and sautéed dried shrimps with minced pork are the dishes most cited by returning guests.
Phénix
1 Michelin star
Phénix holds a Michelin star and Black Pearl Diamond on the Bund, where chef Ugo Rinaldo runs a French kitchen built around Chinese produce. The six-course Découverte and twelve-course Expérience menus chart the range from accessible introduction to full technical expression. Ranked among Asia's top restaurants by both Opinionated About Dining and La Liste, it occupies a defined tier within Shanghai's competitive fine-dining French scene.
Ren He Guan (Xuhui)
1 Michelin star
A Michelin-starred Shanghainese address in Songjiang that trades grand ceremony for 1930s nostalgia, live qipao performance, and fish-forward cooking at prices that undercut most of its starred peers. The crab sourced from the owner's own farm, served as crabmeat and roe on rice, is the dish that keeps regulars returning season after season.
Seventh Son
1 Michelin star
A Hong Kong-rooted Cantonese institution operating in Pudong since 2014, Seventh Son brings the technical discipline of dried seafood, roast meats, and dim sum to Shanghai's right bank. The lunch dim sum program runs to more than 30 varieties, while the sautéed osmanthus egg with crabmeat and shredded shrimp is the kitchen's defining test of Cantonese precision.
Sheng Yong Xing (Huangpu)
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
A Beijing institution's first Shanghai outpost, Sheng Yong Xing brings its Michelin-starred Peking duck program to a Bund-adjacent address where jujube-wood-roasted birds arrive with QR-code provenance tracing. The ¥¥¥ pricing sits in line with Shanghai's mid-to-upper Chinese dining tier, and a wine cellar entrance signals a drinks program built to match the signature roast. Awarded one Michelin star in 2024.
Sole
1 Michelin star
A Michelin-starred Cantonese address in Changning that opened in 2023 with an all-Cantonese kitchen team and a head chef whose career spans more than two decades. The long menu covers dim sum, barbecue, double-boiled soups, seafood, and stir-fries, with technically demanding preparations, the scallop dumpling with crab roe draws attention for its translucent skin and precise pleating. Priced at ¥¥¥, it sits in a tier where craft justifies the spend.
T’ang Court (Shanghai)
2 Michelin stars
T'ang Court in Shanghai's Huangpu district brings Cantonese tradition to a room that pairs understated main-hall dining with a corridor of private rooms. Ranked 217th among Asia's top restaurants by Opinionated About Dining in 2025, the kitchen under Chef Tony Su bridges classical technique with Shanghainese touches, wok-fried prawns, shrimp-and-crab dumplings, served by staff whose professionalism is the dining room's most consistent credential.
Taian Table
3 Michelin stars
Taian Table holds three Michelin stars in 2024 and 2025, a Black Pearl Diamond, and a place on La Liste's global ranking with 91.5 points, making it one of Shanghai's most decorated fine-dining addresses. Chef Christiaan Stoop's Modern European tasting menu format occupies a quiet residential lane in Changning, a location that underscores the restaurant's deliberately understated positioning within China's most competitive dining city.
The House of Rong
2 Michelin stars
Occupying a Suzhou-style mansion once belonging to the family of architect I.M. Pei, The House of Rong holds two Michelin stars (2024) and a Black Pearl 2 Diamond (2025) for its seafood-led Taizhou menu. The customisable format lets groups calibrate the meal around wild-caught yellow croaker and other ingredients sourced predominantly from the Taizhou coast. It sits at the premium end of Shanghai's fine regional Chinese dining tier.
The House of Rong
2 Michelin stars
House of Rong sits in Shanghai’s serious Chinese dining tier, with Black Pearl 2026 two-diamond recognition and a 2026 OAD Top Restaurants in Asia ranking at No. 126. The draw is less about spectacle than control: high-heat Chinese cooking, heritage-room gravitas, and a kitchen associated with chef Jun Wang.
Tou Zao
1 Michelin star
Tou Zao brings Cantonese cooking into a quieter Shanghai register: prix-fixe, intimate in feel, and built around dim sum craft rather than banquet-room abundance. Chef Jiǎng Qiáomù’s kitchen is associated with tableside pastry work, hot entrées, and the heat control expected of serious Cantonese restaurants in the city’s upper tier.
Wu You Xian
1 Michelin star
Shanghai's xiaolongbao counters are contested territory, but Wu You Xian has carved a specific niche: crab, in over 20 configurations, from pure crabmeat to roe-heavy, tomalley-rich, and premium seafood combinations featuring abalone and sea cucumber. A Michelin star since 2024, the shop relocated to larger city-centre premises yet still draws queues. The assorted steamer is the standard entry point for first-timers.
Xin Rong Ji
2 Michelin stars
Xin Rong Ji brings Taizhou cuisine to Chengdu at its highest tier, holding two Michelin stars, a Black Pearl Diamond, and a place at number 56 on Asia's 50 Best list in 2025. Under chef Ma Lin, the kitchen works within a seafood-forward tradition that sits in deliberate contrast to the city's dominant Sichuan register. The address is Pei Mansion Hotel on Nanyang Road in Jing'an, Shanghai.
Xin Rong Ji (West Nanjing Road)
1 Michelin star
Xin Rong Ji on West Nanjing Road holds a Michelin star and a place on Asia's 50 Best Restaurants list (ranked 82nd in 2025), making it the city's most prominent address for Taizhou cuisine. The seafood arrives daily from Taizhou, with guests selecting live catch at the entrance stall and directing how it is cooked. Pre-ordering signatures such as braised yellow croaker or golden deep-fried hairtail is advised.
Yi Long Court
1 Michelin star
Housed on the second floor of The Peninsula Shanghai along the Bund, Yi Long Court delivers high-end Cantonese cooking in a space designed after a 1930s Shanghainese merchant's residence. Executive chef Tang Chi Keung anchors the menu in classical Cantonese technique, with a particular emphasis on seasonal seafood. A Michelin star (2024) and an OAD Top 300 Asia ranking confirm its standing among Shanghai's most serious Chinese dining rooms.
Yong Fu (Hongkou)
1 Michelin star
On the 56th floor of Raffles City The Bund, Yong Fu (Hongkou) frames the Pudong skyline and Huangpu River through floor-to-ceiling glass while serving a menu split between Ningbo classics and ingredient-forward novelty dishes. Live seafood arrives daily from Zhejiang Province, grounding the kitchen's ambition in genuine coastal sourcing discipline. It is one of Shanghai's more considered addresses for regional Chinese cuisine at altitude.
Yong Fu (Huangpu)
1 Michelin star
Yong Fu (Huangpu) gives Ningbo cooking a high-recognition Shanghai stage, with wild-caught seafood shipped daily from Ningbo and a kitchen led by Weng Yongjun. The draw is not novelty; it is the city’s long appetite for coastal Zhejiang flavors, handled with enough polish to earn La Liste 97 points for 2026 and Black Pearl 3 Diamond recognition in 2025.
Yong Yi Ting
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
Ranked #228 in Opinionated About Dining's Top Restaurants in Asia (2024) and holding a Michelin star, Yong Yi Ting sits 21 feet underground in Lujiazui's Mandarin Oriental Pudong, where floor-to-ceiling glass opens onto a sunken patio and the kitchen delivers refined Jiangnan cooking rooted in Shanghainese and Jiangzhe tradition. It is one of Shanghai's clearest cases for what contemporary reinterpretation of a regional cuisine can achieve at fine-dining scale.
Yu Garden
1 Michelin star
A Michelin-starred Fujian table operating on the fringes of Guangzhou's dining scene, Yu Garden takes a deliberate step away from the city's Cantonese mainstream. Chef May's art-filled space brings ingredients shipped directly from Fujian province, with dishes like sea worm jelly and Xiamen ginger duck stew anchoring a menu where provenance is the point. Private rooms are available for more considered occasions.
Zhou She (Minhang)
1 Michelin star
A Michelin one-star Shanghainese restaurant positioned at Hongqiao's transport hub, Zhou She draws a steady stream of travellers who know to look past the mall address. The Shanghai-native head chef anchors the menu in local tradition while pulling selectively from Cantonese and Huaiyang registers. Marinated pigeon with green Sichuan peppercorns and sautéed shredded fish with chive sprouts are the dishes to order.
