CUN 皴 is a creative Spanish-Sichuan restaurant from Executive Chef Li Tianyi, offering an intimate tasting menu experience within Upperwood, a super lounge at the INS nightlife destination in Shanghai.
Helmed by Chongqing-native Chef Li Tianyi, whose CV includes time at Spain's renowned Martin Berasategui and Santceloni, the restaurant is the product of eight years of refined technique learned in Michelin-starred Spanish kitchens. This unique background informs a menu that thoughtfully merges the fiery, complex flavors of Sichuan cuisine with the bright, technical finesse of Spanish gastronomy.
Dining here is an engaging performance. The intimate space, with just a dozen seats encircling the open kitchen, puts the precise, fiery action center stage. The vibe is energetic with a touch of sophistication — but expect a relaxed, convivial atmosphere and plenty of interaction with the chefs. Seasonal tasting menu is priced at ¥1,080; additional wine pairing available for ¥480.
