The Restaurant at Pudong Shangri-La, Shanghai

"Pudong Shangri-La Hotel (Pudong Xianggelila Fandian) [SSS] -- With the addition of a sleek new tower annex boasting a slew of trendy designer restaurants, the Himalayan-themed Chi spa, and a second health club and pool, not only is the Shangri-La currently the biggest and boldest hotel in town, but it has the best location in Pudong, with unbeatable views of the Bund across the river"

"Eleven restaurants offer options to suit every taste, but there is no better place for a drink and nibble than Jade on 36, an eclectic fusion restaurant perched on the 36th floor"

"Our picks: the cool, granite-clad Japanese restaurant, Nadaman; Yi Café, for a button-popping buffet feast (regularly voted Shanghai’s best Sunday brunch); and refined French fare at Jade on 36"

"With 10 restaurants on-site, dining options are lavish and extensive: iCafe, an open kitchen buffet, which offers everything from cheese and charcuterie items to Malaysian noodles and French patisserie items (the Willy Wonka-style candy station shouldn't be missed); Nadaman, a high-end Japanese joint specialising in a 'Sake Yaki' (sake and teppanyaki) brunch; and the lofty Jade on 36 for full-on glamour and fine dining with fabulous view"

"It oozes five-star class, from the fine molecular gastronomy of the signature Jade on 36 restaurant to the immaculate hotel-wide floral presentations"

"Plus, there’s no need to leave the grounds for excellent eats, since the hotel houses six restaurants"

"With seven restaurants in the hotel, guests have plenty of dining options"

"The lobby, corridors, restaurants and rooms are tastefully decorated in natural colours"

"High-style restaurants and bars sit between the two"

"The equally outstanding Japanese restaurant is a branch of Tokyo's century-old Inagiku, with sushi, teppanyaki and tempura rooms"
