The Restaurant at The Ritz-Carlton Shanghai, Pudong

"Come cocktail hour, head up to the Flair restaurant and bar on the 58th floor"

"The Ritz-Carlton Pudong boasts a 55th-floor spa with staggering views of the Huangpu River and the entire downtown skyline, an impressive Italian restaurant, and a rooftop bar that's such a good lookout point you may never want to leave"

"House restaurants provide a wide variety of dining options, from Scena for casual Italian to Jin Xuan for traditional Cantonese"

"There are classic dining options, like Cantonese cuisine at Jin Xuan restaurant and afternoon tea in the eau-de-nil tinted Aura lounge, alongside more contemporary offerings at the Super Potato-designed loft bar Flair - Shanghai's highest alfresco dining experience - which features reclaimed wooden beams, oya riverbed stone and traditional Japanese mud walls"

"If you'd rather opt out of the hotel restaurants, simply walk to the IFC mall and try Morton's, Isola or or any of the more casual food offerings on the lower floors"

"The ifc Mall, a gleaming shopping center with a supermarket, restaurants and bevy of luxury brands, is just steps away"

"Apart from hotel bars and restaurants, there’s not a lot in the way of drinking and dining in the area, but the trendy terrace at Matto makes a smart stopping-off point"
