A taste of Guangzhou

Xiang Qun (Longjin East Road)

向群饭店 (龙津东路店)

Trading since 1988, grown from an ice-cream parlour into Guangzhou's best-known home-style Cantonese canteen. Michelin singles out the steamed Qingyuan chicken, the soy-marinated goose and a stir-fry of eel fillet with French beans. This is where you eat the everyday Cantonese dishes that do not appear on tourist menus.
