Bingsheng Restaurant
Bingsheng has a handful of branches in Guangzhou, but the mammoth flagship beneath Haiyin Bridge remains the best. Its sea bass sashimi with Shùndé flavour (hǎilú cìshēn; 海鲈剌身 ) and bean curd with crab roe (dòufuhuā zhēngxiègāo; 豆腐花蒸蟹羔 ) are outstandingly tasty. There is no English menu, so try to grab a Chinese friend to communicate. Reservations are impossible.

One of the restaurant's most notable dishes is wenchang chicken (wénchāng jī; 文昌鸡), chicken slow-cooked in an aromatic broth and later steamed with vegetables and a light sauce.

Shuǐyúntiān
Mock-meat specialities and other vegetarian fare are served in this Buddhist vegetarian restaurant. There's an excellent lunch buffet for Y22 a person. The English menu is good for a giggle - anyone for 'vegetarian shrimp in bamboo underwear'?

People's Cakes and Coffee
Managed by two Korean sisters, this tiny café is well-recommended. The coffee is good and very reasonably priced, especially compared to other establishments around town. Best of all are the homemade pastries and tasty sandwiches.

Tao Tao Ju Restaurant
This restaurant is housed in an academy dating back to the 17th century. It’s a bit more expensive than other Canto diners, but the fabulous 200-item dim sum menu makes up for it. Getting a table here is impossible after 11am.
