Description Originally from Australia, David Laris is well-known as one of Shanghai’s most prolific restaurateurs with his restaurant ‘Laris’ in The Bund precinct. The key to Laris’ success, he believes, is starting with a strong foundation of food and concept, which continually needs to be recreated. He also attributes his success in Shanghai to hard work and by surrounding himself with great people who are passionate about what they do. Never far from the kitchen, Laris is determined to make sure his restaurant remains one of the best that Shanghai has to offer.
