Elegant dining room at Ultraviolet by Paul Pairet in Shanghai with candlelit table

Ultraviolet by Paul Pairet Shanghai

Ultraviolet sits in the Huangpu district, a ten-minute walk from the Bund. It holds three stars in the Michelin Guide and currently ranks at number 60 on La Liste and number 95 on Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants. The room runs smart and elegant, serving creative French fusion dishes.

Most diners chase the status of the three stars, but the real reason to choose Ultraviolet is the sensory isolation. It ignores the frantic energy of nearby Nanjing Road in favor of a controlled, theatrical experience that the city’s other high-profile dining rooms simply do not attempt. You go here for the immersion, which is far more deliberate than the breezy, crowd-pleasing style found at the grand hotels lining the waterfront. It remains the only place in Shanghai where the environment is as carefully composed as the menu.
