Jade on 36 Shanghai

Jade on 36 is at 33 Fucheng Rd, within the dense skyline of the Lujiazui district. The kitchen prepares French, contemporary, and creative plates. It sits a twenty-minute walk from the Oriental Pearl Tower, providing a perspective on the city’s vertical sprawl that its neighbors closer to the IFC Mall lack.

While the surrounding area is crowded with commercial retail, the room runs smart and elegant. It is a better choice than the nearby mall-bound options if your goal is to spend an evening in a single, slow-moving room rather than navigating the rapid turnover of the district’s more casual dining floors.
