Guìyáng Restaurants

  1. Aroma Bakery & Café

    The buffets at Aroma Bakery & Café get much better reviews than those at New Zealand Western Restaurant, but are far more expensive.

  2. Chìshuǐqíng Jiǔjiā

    Chìshuǐqíng Jiǔjiā is casual but beautifully decorated and specialises in dozens and dozens of types of bamboo dishes. So much care has gone into the menu and décor, that the unpleasant wait staff comes as both a shock and a huge disappointment. However, the rest works so well, foodies looking for something a little different may still decide this place is worth taking a risk on.

  3. Dongjia Family Restaurant

    Waiters here wear either full-silver Miao regalia or indigo tunics and slacks. Every local knows this place, which specialises in minority cooking from all over Guìzhōu. There's no English menu but its book-sized menu is filled with big luscious pictures from the chillies of Miao cuisine to the pickled vegetables of the Dong. The dining room is cosy but undistinguished, except for the giant tree trunk in the middle.

  4. Guizhou Long Seafood

    This place is positively palatial (seriously, there's a huge staircase just inside the entrance like something out of Gone with the Wind ) and has a huge array of seafood dishes to choose from. There's no English menu, but the bible-sized Chinese one is loaded with pictures to guide your choices.

  5. UBC Coffee

    There's an extensive coffee and tea menu here, along with the ever popular zhēnzhū nǎichá (珍珠奶茶; pearl milk tea). It's a relaxed, friendly place with slightly tacky décor and a grand piano.

  6. Yawen Restaurant

    This is popular with locals for its Sìchuān, Guìzhōu and Cantonese dishes. The food can get expensive but it's first rate. The only downsides are a stark white dining room and overly giggly waiters.
