    Àomén Shíjiē

    Just along from the Xinhua bookstore, this gigantic dining hall is lined with hatches where you order your dish, a waitress in tow while you make your choice. There's no English menu, but the wall-mounted photo menu makes ordering a piece of cake. Try the peppery mápó dòufu (spicy tofu with crumbs of pork) or the more straightforward gōngbào jīdīng fàn (spicy chicken chunks with rice) or the tasty méicài kōuròu bāo (pork with cabbage).

    Tianhong Northeast Jiaozi Restaurant

    There's no English menu at this industrious dumpling restaurant, but don't let that deter you from trying its scrummy jiǎozi. Standard dishes include the vegetable jiǎozi (sūbáicài xiàn), there's also a chive and egg version (jiǔcài jīdàn), the lamb and onion (yángròu dàcōng xiàn) and, if you still have an appetite, further standard dishes from China's northeast fill out the menu.

    Shaoshanchong Xiang Restaurant

    For sheer OTT novelty and dubious tastefulness, check out this nostalgic Húnán restaurant where signature chili-infused dishes from the home province of Chairman Mao are delivered by gaggles of cheeky, pig-tailed girls in Red Guard uniforms.

  5. Xù Courtyard Restaurant

    This friendly restaurant is in a converted courtyard that dates back to 1892. It whips up some scrumptious dishes, including orange-peel-flavoured pork-rib wraps (橙皮纸包骨; chéngpí zhǐbāogǔ; Y48), secret-recipe roast duck (密制丁香鸭; mìzhì dīngxiāngyā; Y38 per half duck) and plum-marinated huángfēng fish (梅子黄蜂鱼; méizi huángfēngyú; Y38). Chinese-only menu, but some English is spoken.

  6. Xīngdǎo Hào

    Right on the river, with tables spread out across the deck of the now disused river-ferry wharf, this no-nonsense restaurant-cum-bar is a great spot for an evening meal, or even just a few beers. No English menu, but the hóngshāo luófēi yú (红烧罗非鱼; Y20), a Yōng River fish speciality, comes recommended. Beers from Y8.

  7. Just For You

    If you want to meet up and yarn with other English speakers, head to Just For You. This cafe offers a range of American and Southeast Asian fare, and vegetarian pizza (Y38) is served. It's also a popular Chinese-dates-foreigners spot, located behind Sunshine 100.

  8. Āmóu Meǐshí

    Well, this is a chain but this branch really stands out. Housed on the picturesque Wind and Rain Bridge behind Guangxi Provincial Museum, this restaurant has a beautiful, leafy garden as its backdrop. It dishes out various tribal food of the region. You may not know those ethnic minorities, but you'll sure like their grub. Try the Miao's zhūxiāng fish (苗家竹香鱼; miáojiā zhūxiāngyú; Y68). Other mouth-watering dishes include roasted eggplant in Tai style (傣家茄子; dǎijiā qiézi; Y25) and shredded Lí River duck (手撕漓江鸭; shǒusī líjiāngyā; Y38). No English menu.
