M on the Bund *

"Located at the pinnacle of the historic Nissin Shipping Building c.1921,

M overlooks Shanghai's most famous site:

The Bund."

References to Shanghai's glamourous past are updated and given a contemporary spin. Flavours range from the comforting to the novel, from Europe to the Middle East, but remain grounded in classical European techniques.
