 Best Restaurants in GuangzhouEating out is popular in Guangzhou, with locals spending more at
restaurants here than anywhere else in China. It is no wonder when
you look at what''s on offer: Cantonese cuisine is famous worldwide,
and Guangzhou is its heart. The staples of Cantonese food are
barbecue and dim sum, and you''ll find adventurous fare involving
reptiles, amphibians and even insects, or more palatable fare like
seafood and pork. Cantonese food is known for its good vegetarian
variety as well. There are other restaurants in Guangzhou serving a range of
French, Italian, American and Japanese cuisine, though
international chain restaurants don''t seem to find a foothold in
the city. While tipping is not traditionally practiced in China, it
is becoming more common in Guangzhou restaurants; if there is no
10% service charge on the bill, a tip to the same value is
acceptable. |
Tao Tao Ju
Tao Tao Ju is consistently rated the best dim sum restaurant it
Guangzhou, however tourists need to be aware that this delicious
food comes with garish decor, a loud atmosphere, and a selection of
animal parts not usually included on menus, like the kudzu and
snakehead soup (which is wonderful). They have more than 200
different kinds of dim sum. With this in mind, Tao Tao Ju is ideal
for tourists in Guangzhou looking to try authentic dim sum and
willing to step outside their comfort zone. The restaurant is open
from 6:30pm to midnight.
