Founded in 1999, M on the Bund has achieved iconic status, having single-handedly set the tone for everything that has followed since. Its views of the Bund and the bristling skyscrapers across the river in Pudong, combined with the Mediterranean-meets-Middle-East-menu, remain unbeatable to this day.
