SHANGHAI SOIREE

Start with a sophisticated afternoon tea set, stay for superb casual fine-dining and end with cocktails on the chic outdoor terrace.

Perched high above the cosmopolitan buzz of Shanghai is one of the city’s most exclusive spots for gourmet indulgences. Located on the top floor (21/F) of Wanda Reign on the Bund, RuiKu offers a luxurious environment for a distinguished crowd.

The restaurant and fashionable bar cater to discerning gourmands, with stunning floorto-ceiling windows overlooking the Bund’s historic waterfront and Pudong’s futuristic skyline, providing an amazing backdrop for any kind of event.

Inside, the sophisticated restaurant continues the hotel’s Art Deco design theme, with intricate radial patterns and striking symmetry. The magnificent marble floor, European furniture and contemporary art displayed throughout the venue embrace both modern aesthetics and classic elegance, creating a backdrop of luxury and comfort for all guests to relish.

The menu reveals a trove of seafood treasures and oysters, along with contemporary European crowd pleasers that have been expertly created with top quality ingredients. A dash of innovation is also added, to give each dish a stylish, novel twist that will keep diners on the edge of their seats.

RuiKu recently added another level of sophistication with the introduction of its unique scented tea-themed afternoon tea experience, served daily in the elegant setting. Innovative flavour pairings feature premium tea blends such as sakura tea with yuzu fromage mousse and rose flower tea with berry patisserie.

Meanwhile, a sophisticated champagne and wine lounge provides the ideal setting for catching up with friends and business associates.

In the evening, the adjoining terrace becomes one of the chicest hotspots in town, complete with world-famous DJs and live bands, enticing cocktails and stunning views over Shanghai’s iconic cityscape. You’ll want to dress to impress to rub shoulders with Shanghai’s movers and shakers.

On Thursdays, ladies will enjoy a complimentary glass of Chandon Rose when they enter, plus half price cocktails and wine all night to ease you into the weekend.
