The façade may be retro, but the modern interior of this century-old building is quietly luxe. As its name suggests, Vivant takes pride in its lively atmosphere. An oversize open kitchen means every diner can witness the alchemy, as the French chef of Vietnamese descent devises a single seasonal tasting menu, plus optional add-ons. He deftly juggles Asian and French flavours, often using local ingredients alongside Vietnamese street food.

The seafood stall by the entrance lets diners make their own choices from the items shipped directly from Taizhou that day. Seasonality is key and that determines exactly which ingredients will be used in certain dishes. Customers can also specify how they want their seafood cooked. The restaurant communicates with every customer before their visit; consider pre-ordering signatures such as braised yellow croaker or golden deep-fried hairtail.

(The restaurant is temporarily closed.) A household name among hairy crab lovers, this restaurant runs its own farm to ensure quality and a stable supply. Their crabs have flavoursome flesh, with their shells brimming with creamy yellow roe. Try the array of hairy crab dishes on offer, including drunken crabs steeped in Shaoxing wine for a month. Each serving of steamed meringue on stuffed crab shell uses the meat and roe of three hairy crabs and is sinfully satisfying.
