Ensconced in the stunningly converted South Bund 22, Willy Trullas Moreno’s fetching and fun restaurant is a more relaxed counterpoint to many other overdressed Bund operations. Seasonal scrumptious tapas and paellas are Willy’s forte, paired with some serene Bund views beyond the windows. Both the Spanish and the Chinese have a communal approach to eating, so tapas and chopsticks work perfectly.
