👍 If you're here for the food, it's ok, but not fantastic. Everything tasting fine but it wasn't the meal you'd expect for a £200 British pounds meal for a 3 course for two with a bottle of wine.

    If you're here for the food, it's ok, but not fantastic. Everything tasting fine but it wasn't the meal you'd expect for a £200 British pounds meal for a 3 course for two with a bottle of wine. But what made this experience worth while and why I wasn't fussed to pay that price was for the view. I came here on my first evening in Shanghai and my first experience of the Shanghai skyline - and it's something that genuinely blew my socks off. The view you get is exceptional from their terrace area, which we always snuck out to in-between our courses and to enjoy finishing off our bottle of wine before our dessert came out. You're about 5 stories up from what I remember and can see all sides of the Huangpu river. The staff were also very friendly and some were English speaking which helped. If this is your first time in Shanghai, I'd recommend booking a table here just for the view.

    Just had a very enjoyable sam-deem-sam here. Gasping for proper cup of english tea since arriving in Shanghai yesterday. Not your classic selection of nibbles - no clotted cream with scones and the pickled cucumber sandwich was interesting! Great views of the Bund from the roof terrace. Not an easy place to find, entrance on the side street. Take elevator to L7. We paid circa €30 for afternoon tea set.

    A very nice location to start your evening. The outdoor seating is well appointed. The service was excellent and the food well proportioned and very tasty. The style is Western with Asian influences. The wines were reasonably priced. Like a lot of places you have to look at the buildings list of tenants to see this is on the 5th Floor.

    (Translated by Google) The location is very good, just beside the Bund, dinner, you can enjoy the night view. The food is also OK, just like a good restaurant. However, the location is different. (Original) 地點非常好, 就在外灘旁邊, 晚餐去, 可以欣賞夜景. 食物也還可以, 跟一般好的餐廳一樣. 但是, 地點就不一樣了.

    With the exception of great views, there is nothing else above mediocre. I came in a group of 10, our food was slow to come and low quality. The tastiest portion of our meal was the complimentary bread. For the price you are paying, there are many many other restaurants to visit.

    If you want to experience the most “expensive” view of the Bund, this is the place for you. If you want to have decent (I am not even referring to good/great/excellent) food, this is not the place.

    A little old building smell but great location for the bar inside Waldorf Astoria on the ground floor. Check the timings as it is not open in the afternoon (after 4pm on Sundays)

    Honestly it is little more than a tourist trap. Food OK but expensive. Design dated. Service not even worthy of a local joint. What with cleaning under the tables and loudly preparing the room room for next day including spaying disinfectant while we haven't even ordered dessert... Badly trained waiters coming directly from their village. Unacceptable for the price tag. Living purely on its reputation but for how long

    (Translated by Google) We have 2 bottles of red wine for 5 people. Spend more than 6,000. to be frank. The method of setting the disc may be exquisite. But the taste is somewhat different from my personal. But the scenery is very good. Have a fight with the Roosevelt Hall (Original) 我們5個人 了2瓶紅酒。消費了6千多。說實話。作法 擺盤或許精緻。但是 口味有些跟我個人不合。 但是景色倒是非常不錯。跟羅斯福會館有得拼

    Best place to eat (brunch or dinner) in Shanghai in front of the bund. Around 50€ to have brunch - several options and all of them are very nice. More expensive at night, but with an amazing view of the bund. It is a MUST if you are spending a few days in Shanghai

    (Translated by Google) Already in the entrance area in front of the lift You can enjoy the pleasant atmosphere, coolness and the scent. The M is located on the top floor and has a great view of the river and Pudong on the terrace. The restaurant is a real highlight !!!! Beautifully decorated, friendly service and a great selection of dishes, even vegans! Everything was very tasty and great presented, the dessert was another W O W I can really recommend it to every visitor. Thank you very much for the great work on the team of M o t B (Original) Schon im Eingangsbereich vor dem Lift geniesst man die angenehme Atmosphäre, Kühle und den Duft. Das M liegt im obersten Stockwerk und hat auf der Terrasse einen tollen Blick auf den Fluss und Pudong. Das Restaurant ist ein wirkliches Highlight!!!! Wunderschön eingerichtet, freundlich im Service und eine tolle Auswahl an Gerichten, selbst für Veganer! Alles war sehr LECKER und toll präsentiert, der Nachtisch war ein weiteres W O W kann ich jedem Besucher wirklich nur empfehlen. Vielen Dank für die tolle Arbeit an das Team vom M o t B

    Great experience. Best view of the Bund. Food was all about great combination. Seafood pasta appetizer, was ok. Roasted cauliflower, great combination of cauliflower, nuts, pomogranate, olive oil. Wasn't expecting much but WOW was it good. Palova (which they r famous for), combination of softness and crunchiness. Sweet and sour. HUGE portion but I still finish it.

    An excellent western restaurant on the bund with alfresco seatings and unblocked panoramic view of the bund and financial district of Shanghai. Will come again.

    A great location to see the Bund, with an unbeatable view of the Bund and the tall buildings in Pudong. The view from the outdoor patio is direct and from the insider you can peek at the view through the windows. The food compares to the most expensive restaurants in the US. The food quality is not great as compared to this that charge those prices in the US. You are paying for the view and the atmosphere here but it may well be worth it.

    (Translated by Google) Very high level French meal on the Bund! Fine dinner! The location is also great! Facing the Bund by the window position! You can see the Pudong River view. Things are still very delicious! Especially worth mentioning is the late night dinner from 11pm to 2:30am on Thursday-Saturday! 2 dishes 250rmb! Three dishes 300rmb! Some drinks are half off! It’s just the gospel of friends who want a good food and a limited budget! But the food standard is never discounted! Upstairs in the restaurant is Shanghai's famous bar Bar rough! After eating late night dinner, you can go upstairs and have a cup of dance and digest it! perfect! ! The only downside is that...the service industry has followed the French-style arrogant... (Original) 在外滩很high level的法餐!fine dinner!地点也非常棒!靠窗位置直面外滩!可一览浦东江景。东西还是非常好吃的!特别值得一提的是周四-周六晚上11点到凌晨2:30的late night dinner ! 2道菜250rmb!三道菜300rmb!部分酒水half off!简直就是想一品美食又预算有限的朋友们的福音!但是菜品水准绝不打折!餐厅楼上就是上海著名的酒吧Bar rough!吃完late night dinner可以去楼上喝一杯跳会舞消化一下!完美!!唯一的不足就是....服务业沿袭了法国式的arrogant...

  • 4/5 Nichakarn L. 5 years ago on Google
    Fancy western restaurant right at the bund. The location is pretty hard to find on google maps. The building is not on the street along the bund but on the side street. Then get on the elevator to the 7th floor, the restaurant will be on your left hand side. Tables outdoor are full when we went there but offer great view of the bund while dining. The food is awesome. My recommendation is the Beef Fillet, Australian beef: super soft. The only thing that disappoints me is the price of beverage. Still water costs me 98 yuan which is absurd and I didn’t see clearly where this price is shown but the water is poured from a jug not a bottle. Therefore, this price is a complete ripped off.

  • 5/5 José María C. 3 years ago on Google
    Best place to hace a lunch or dinner with outstanding views over Pudong and Bund. Good food western style but with chinese influence. British style decoration and excellent and nice service. I think this is a must if you visit Shanghai. Ask for a terrace table and go before sunset for the best experience.

  • 5/5 Irene D. 4 years ago on Google
    Best view on their balcony and I love the throw back in era decoration. All our food was excellent and especially our desserts. The afternoon tea set looks divine. Will always come back when I’m in Shanghai!!!

  • 5/5 Felip W. 4 years ago on Google
    I was here the first year they opened in Shanghai 20 years ago. Way back there were few competitors. Bravo that she is still in the same location for 20 years. The Bund had become more beautiful. The balcony is still one of the most photogenic. Food menu has evolved. Though I have eaten some very creative menu elsewhere. I would say it still retain a four stars.

  • 5/5 Karl y. 4 years ago on Google
    It's located in a very old historical construction,外灘 5 號. Usually come here every visit to Shanghai. Take the 2-course brunch. Enjoy the magnificent view of Huangpu River. Recommend to take a visit here.

  • 4/5 Shihho Y. 6 years ago on Google
    Came here for high tea. Outside seating available. They do have really nice view; however, the decor and overall experience are fine. Most sandwiches and desserts are appetizing, but cappuccino is poor. ¥150 up per person.

    I chose this place to conclude my business trip in Shanghai. A total mistake and disappointment. The scenery was average, as you could pretty much get similar or better view angles at any other restaurants along the Bund. The food was mediocre at best. Xintiandi, which is a 5-6 mins ride away from Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, has many more restaurants that offer better foods and at a much more reasonable price. The service, if there even was any, was THE WORST. I've never met a more horrible server than the Asian 'manager .' Gave an attitude right from the beginning when asked questions bout the menu. Didn't bother to explain the dishes either. However the highlight was towards the end, when he came with the dessert platter and left it at the opposite end of my table on purpose. Almost had to get up and fetch it myself. He seemed like a lively and amicable guy toward the group of Caucasians sitting next to me. So why the attitude and the attempt to embarrass a specific customer I have no idea. Waiters seemed to have a hard time paying attention to the customer's requests. They forgot about my dessert before forgetting to give me my change at the counter. Having visited Shanghai three times so far, I've always been able to find at least one positive about each of the place I ate. Not this one though. The Bund is about 2.6 km long. For the price you're paying here, you literally have numerous different choices. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this absolute bummer. Or go and feel the despair and emptiness wash over you afterwards.

Desserts terrible and also bad decaf cofee. A lot of better Mr and Mrs Bund !!! 100% (Original) Un lugar sobre estimado Fuimos 6 personas a cenar y solamente 1 buen platillo. 5 dejamos la comida sin terminar. (dover solé, Wellington, etc).

    Amazing views, but M shows its age lately compared to previous visits. Sometimes the staff is excellent, sometimes not. Same goes for the food, esp given the price. Tea is always a safe bet here regardless of everything else. Just needs a few tweaks & renewed focus on consistency.

  • 4/5 Chyan P. 4 years ago on Google
    M on the Bund’s still going strong on its 20th anniversary and I wholeheartedly recommend loosening the purse strings for the excellent food and view of the Huangpu River and Pudong skyline. Would be a solid 5 stars had the service been up to scratch.

  • 1/5 Abdulla Bin S. 4 years ago on Google
    Appetizers were really bad service was extremely slow we waited for an hour for our main course the waiter gave us an attitude saying it’s been only 22 mins when it was 50 mins so lost our appetite and left they didn’t allow us to pay which was a good gesture from their side.
