As its name suggests, Bundview offers a picturesque panorama of the Bund and the winding Huangpu River.

It is one of those Pudong restaurants that encourages diners to sit back, enjoy the spacious, naturalistic environs and observe the bustling city from a tranquil distance. It being a rare sunny day, we visited and chose our meal from the affordable lunchtime set menu (starting at RMB 88 for choice of appetizer, soup, main course, dessert of the day and one drink).

Our first courses, the traditional Caesar salad and minestrone soup, were both well prepared. Our next dish, the green curry with steamed rice, was hearty, with a full-flavored and aromatic sauce. Bundview is a good choice for business lunches or any meal in which luxurious ambiance and a beautiful view are paramount.
