Lemon & Lemon Tart Mr & Mrs Bund

Mr & Mrs Bund is French, in the manner of Chef Paul Pairet: born, traveled, and globally stamped. Retro, yet contemporary, the space is unpretentious and welcoming,without sacrificing an ounce of chic.

A mainstay on the Bund since opening in April 2009, this eatery serves French and international favorites, through Pairet’s looking glass, coupled with family-style service.

A must-order that has remained on the menu for nearly 15 years, the Lemon & Lemon Tart (RMB120) is a multi-day labor of love resulting in a lemon inception of a dessert.
The process involves hollowing out then stuffing an entire candied lemon with in-house made lemon curd, lemon sorbet, vanilla Chantilly, and fresh citrus before re-freezing it.
Presented whole, diners can slice open the lemon tableside to reveal the sunshine-hued strata inside, best enjoyed with a mouthful of crumbly biscuit served on top.
Can you peel the love?
