Ultraviolet, Experimental restaurant in Huangpu, China
Ultraviolet is an experimental restaurant in Huangpu featuring a single dining table with ten seats in a room where temperature, humidity, and sensory elements shift throughout the meal. The entire space transforms for each course to intensify the culinary experience.
French chef Paul Pairet opened the restaurant in May 2012, introducing a concept that merges culinary arts with technology and theatrical presentation. This opening marked a shift in Shanghai's dining scene toward experimental formats.
The restaurant merges French cooking methods with modern technology, reflecting Shanghai's international food scene. Diners experience how chefs and technicians collaborate to stage each course.
Guests first gather at Mr & Mrs Bund restaurant before being transported to the secret location where the multi-course dinner takes place. Arriving early allows time to settle before the experience begins.
Each dish arrives with synchronized lighting, sounds, music, and scents projected through an advanced system in the dining room. This sensory choreography turns every course into a standalone performance.
