With superb Continental cuisine, an excellent wine selection and deft service, the fashionable M on the Bund sets the standard for other haute cuisine restaurants in Shanghai. As the place to see and be seen, the much-touted eatery attracts its fair share of Shanghai's movers and shakers. Contemporary, airy and stylish decor complements sweeping views of the Bund. The food reaches equally high heights. Diners are recommended to try the Salt Crusted Leg of Lamb and the Crispy Suckling Pig. They should also leave room for dessert—the sinfully delicious pavlova is rightfully legendary.

I wont rush back...well, maybe for a coffee and the view.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/11/09
Let's face it - the view form the deck over Pudong and the Bund is superb. The ambience is truly intercontinental and the patrons chick and trendy. I waited in anticipation for the food to match the promising surroundings. I ordered the "suckling pig" and was not impressed. It was overcooked and the crackling had a strong metallic taste. I was also quite surprised to find a large chunk of meat on my plate with only two or three small potato chips. I would have welcomed some vegetables with my very pricey dish. The meat was dry and very bland. I had better suckling pig in pubs. This is not my idea of fine dining. I also thought the menu and dishes thereon, was a bit heavy and bloated. The main dishes all appeared to be heavy handed French bistro type cooking. There is nothing unique on the menu to match the youthfulness and modernity of the surroundings and the patrons. The wine list is what one would expect from a top restaurant such as "M" but also heavily priced. We settled on a bottle of Clos Malvern Merlot. Good wine, not good value. For desert I had the Pavlova - very good, although again too big and heaving with cream. Some of the people at our table ordered the chocolate desert also well received. I think that M is maybe riding on the crest of the beauty of the Shanghai skyline too much and I am sure that a top notch establishment such as M, can get their food and menue up to a standard to match the great view and ambience.

Will definiately go back!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/11/09
After a few weeks in a foreign country for the first time and being mistaken as locals (we're asian aussies who can't speak a word of chinese) consistently we found M on the Bund a wonderful reminder of the food and language spoken at home. The restaurant was filled with Westerners, food was absolutely great and the views were spectacular. Would def. reccomend this to fellow aussie travellers.

The service, style and pure grace of this restaurant make it a rare and wonderful experience. The food is superb and the staff faultless. The surroundings are beautiful and the view breathtaking.

McDonalds is better
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/28/08
My visit this year was a disaster. Very crowed, the tables are to close to eachother therefor is no room for the waiters to move. I give back my steak two times because it was absolutly wrong. Perhaps this is just a incident but we have had the expierence. You better can go to Three on the Bund, named Laris. This place is much better then M.

I guess is the kind of place you must visit
By David, 06/29/08
We are spanish, so we were looking for a wonderful dining experience. We had been told this M on the bund is the best restaurant in Shanghai. The experience was very satisfactory. The views are impressive, and the food is excellent. However I must say that the suckling pig portions very small. The service was polite, even though the maitre told me that I was a little bit underdressed (which I must admit was true. I was wearing shorts). Anyway, dining for around 30 € per person is a bargain. A restaurant of such category in Spain could cost you 4 or 5 times that price.

Great ambience, food was inconsistent
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/10/08
I went with my fiance to M on the Bund for our anniversary. In short, the ambience and the service was exceptional (the view is certainly above average) but the food was mixed. Our entrees of seared scallops and foie gras served three ways were excellent. We had the roasted lamb and crispy skin suckling pig for mains, as they were apparently the house specialties - they were so-so, the lamb was overcooked, the crispy skin of the pork was very nice but the pork itself was somewhat mushy and had a middling flavour. We had the dessert sampler (which provides a taste of 6 or 7 different desserts) and it was adequate but not especially memorable. Overall, I'm glad I chose this venue for the ambience as it was perfect for our anniversary, but I've eaten at better places.

Our second time.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/18/08
As well traveled Aussies, this was our second visit and we could not but have the crispy skin pork again, however it was not quite as we remembered last time.Never the less an excellent evening and a place we recommend to our friends.

Great view, excellent service
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/17/08
I'm a budget-conscious traveller and in Shanghai on my own for work. But M on the Bund was recommended by so many people so I thought I had to give it a go despite the hefty price. Had two appetizers and the pavlova. All were delicious. The view was wonderful, although I didn't stay long because of the cold weather. But what impressed me the most was the service. The waitress who served my table spoke very good English, had the presence of mind to ask me if I wanted a magazine or newspaper because I was alone, and even brought a lit candle to my table, I suppose to help me read since the lighting was somewhat dim. I was having a bad throat and she asked if she could bring me some honey with my warm water. And after my starters she asked if I would like a few minutes for the food to settle before having dessert. Top-notch service!
