Shanghai Bund food guide! 8 personally tested hidden gems that won't disappoint—pair river views with great food for the perfect experience

Food options along The Bund in Shanghai are incredibly diverse. I'll take you from heritage brands like Waitan Jiayan Shanghai Cuisine and Hu Mansion to atmospheric riverside restaurants, and from street snacks like Dahuchun pan-fried buns and tangyuan to crab roe noodles and local Shanghainese cuisine. I've also put together location guides for each restaurant and highlighted must-order dishes, like the signature crab roe noodles at Li Baixie Crab Roe Noodles Riverside Restaurant. At the 1886 German Auto Restaurant in Shanghai, there's even an iconic supercar hanging upside down from the ceiling—so cool! For those who value quality, I highly recommend checking out my reviews of Dragon Phoenix Restaurant and Cathay Room at the Peace Hotel. When you're tired from exploring The Bund, stop by Hu Mansion for braised pork belly coated in rich sauce or the sticky rice cake ribs featured in the TV series Blossoms Shanghai. Eat your way along the route for pure happiness.
