A Future Perfect

In a competitive restaurant market like Shanghai even staying open for 4 years is no mean feat. Staying buzzworthy in a city where most dining establishments pop up and wither within months is either a miracle or the mark of something great. A Future Perfect might be piggybacking the karma in its name a bit but it's mostly thrived because of that special combination of consistently great food, a central location (though a bit hard to find on your first visit), and alert, professional service.

Nestled within the lush greenery of People’s Park, Art Lab is a wonderfully refreshing concept space that must be experienced. Located on the top level above the Museum of Contemporary Art, it is a combination lounge, gallery, restaurant, and rooftop patio where art and lifestyle meld together in unique interaction.

T8’s reputation and image are so far-reaching that it has become a contemporary Shanghai institution. A sophisticated restaurant in the already posh Xintiandi area, T8 stands tall as one of the most well-known spots in town by both Shanghai residents and those overseas. However, depending on whom you talk to, the hype surrounding T8 is either duly warranted or highly exaggerated.

At the culinary level, if there was a quest for a restaurant that symbolizes avant-garde and modernity, there would be no better contender than Jade on 36.
