[Shanghai] 3* Ultraviolet by Paul Pairet - UVD Menu

Rating: 3.75/5

Last meal in Shanghai was at the 3* Ultraviolet by Paul Pairet! Serving 20 courses to just 10 diners at a time, the latest menu option “UVD” has been 4 years in the making. Our experience started at the meeting point Mr. and Mrs. Bund with an aperitif and snack before being driven to the restaurant in a van. Once we arrived at the location, we were led to an nondescript doorway. A simple knock, the door swung open, and we made our way through a series of dark hallways to the dining room where we began our adventures for the night. We sat around one long table in the middle of the room where projections were displayed all around us with the visuals and music changing with each dish. The multi-sensory dining experience was certainly one of a kind. If you take away the projections however, the food and wine pairing were kind of lacking especially for the price we paid. It was still a fun experience overall as you could never guess what was coming next - right up until the end! The experience is much better conveyed through videos - you can watch part 1, 2 and 3 on my Instagram.
