Table No 1 is situated within the Waterhouse at South Bund, and like the hotel's designer-cool interiors, the restaurant boasts an industrial-chic dining room, with a grey brick floor and floor to ceiling windows. Table No 1 is all about small plates (the chef previously opened London's Maze restaurant under Gordon Ramsey). The modern European cuisine veers between traditional and Asian fusion. Scallop ceviche, for example, might be served with a wasabi dressing. The communal dining on shared tables might be off-putting for some but the casual setting will hit the right note with the cool crowd.
