When we first visited Attica, we were thrilled with the hip hop pavilion that
boasts almost 360 degree views of the Huangpu River.

It doesn't get better than this, we thought. Happily, we were wrong. It does
get better, and less than 60 meters away at Attica's sister restaurant,
Finestre. A twin pavilion affords dinner views of the kind you write home about.
The food could inspire a few odes, too, such as Chef Sean Jorgensen's
peppercorn-seared Ahi tuna (RMB125), honey-glazed duck panzanella (RMB85)-both
starters-and a dreamy eggplant-stuffed spinach ravioli main (RMB95) that melts
in your mouth. However it is the execution of the desserts that most rivals the
view; our favorite is the Velvet Elvis (RMB50), a chocolate brownie topped with
warm bananas served in a pool of peanut butter
sauce.
