Fathom is a premium seafood restaurant at Bund City Hall, Shanghai, located right next door to its sister venue, Russian fine dining restaurant Kirillitsa. It shares the same chefs, Evgeny Vikentev and Ivan Agafonov, but make no mistake — this is not Russian cooking. Seafood is the foundation, with global inspiration and meticulous sourcing.
The seafood platters are the star: expect a selection that includes caviar, Spanish carabinero prawns, Russian king crab, and French oysters. Beyond the platters, dishes include black cod baked in kombu, salmon rigatoni spiked with Lao Gan Ma chili crisp, and koji-aged wagyu flap. Caviar lovers are spoiled, with seven to choose from, including a 20-year-old and an albino.
Call ahead to request specific seafood, like jumbo-sized king crab. Pair it all with champagne from a list of about a hundred labels. There’s also a terrace with a spectacular view.
