Mona Description

Mona opened on July 6 on the ground floor of Fotografiska Shanghai – a part of the global Fotografiska brand, one of the largest contemporary immersive photography museums in the world with over 200 exhibitions attracting millions of visitors since its inception in Stockholm in 2010. 

Designed by AIM Architecture – an internationally acclaimed studio based in Shanghai with a focus on Gen Z-centric décor – the space portrays a ‘theater of life,’ intended to appeal specifically to social media users by integrating art through both food and rotating exhibitions.

The Mediterranean-meets-Asian fusion menu is crafted by chef Mandy Tang, hailing from China’s spice capital – Chongqing, Sichuan. Boasting over a decade of culinary experience from Chengdu to Macau to Shanghai, chef Tang, along with General Manager of Fotografiska Shanghai Walter Zahner, have together built a lunch and dinner menu aligning with Fotografiska’s global ethos, whereby both the restaurant and the art museum share the same vision of ‘inspiring new perspectives’ through bridging cultures and encouraging guests to experience the unexpected.
