The Hyatt’s location on the banks of the Huang Pu River affords a stunning view of river and skyline. If this is a little distancing, and the restaurant itself is thankfully decorated around the theme of a luxurious apartment, with dining areas modelled after the living room, dining room, library and kitchen. The effect is a harmonious balance of luxury and homeliness, which complement the classic European cuisine served here. First, steel yourself with steak au poivre, roast duck with port wine or lobster Thermidor. Then sip whiskey or cocktails on the open terrace of the Vue Bar upstairs.
