Located on historic Yuyuan Road in Shanghai, TOGETHER offers contemporary Asian and French cuisine. Conceptualized by Neri&Hu, the restaurant celebrates the social aspect of dining and is rooted in the idea that great food is what brings people together.

Head chef Bina Yu hails from the tutelage of three-star Michelin chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, whom she served under for more than a decade after completing her training at the American cookery school. In New York, she worked at Jean-Georges and Sensebowl restaurants, and later in Shanghai, she joined the kitchens of Chi-Q and Mercato (Jean Georges’ Korean and Italian restaurants at Three on the Bund), helping take both to the top of Shanghai’s restaurant lists. Her exceptional culinary skills have been demonstrated in several significant occasions and before prominent figures such as former Secretary-General of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon, as well as former President of South Korea Lee Myung-bak and his wife Kim Yoon-ok.

Pastry chef Kim Melvin hails from Michelin-starred celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay’s team in London, later joining Jason Atherton’s at Maze Restaurant. Since coming to Shanghai in 2010, she has been the executive pastry chef at Table No.1, the Waterhouse at South Bund, and garnered many awards for her sweet treats. Currently, Kim is managing the dessert bar of The Commune Social as well as TOGETHER’s dessert offerings.
