A taste of Guilin and Yangshuo

Pushi Guibei Fusion, Li'an Puxian Hotel (Yangshuo West Street Lijiang)

漓岸璞闲文旅酒店(阳朔西街漓江店)·璞食·桂北融合菜

A hotel restaurant on the river at the edge of West Street doing modernised northern-Guangxi cooking — the local ingredients, lighter hands, proper plating and a view of the karst. It is the obvious choice for a last evening in Yangshuo when you want the scenery rather than the queue.

What to order

Point at the Chinese. Staff will understand it even where the menu has no English at all.

  • Sour-and-spicy river snails (酸辣螺)
  • Guibei-style chicken (桂北土鸡)
  • Beer fish, refined version (啤酒鱼)

What it actually tastes like

Sour-spicy snails are intensely sour from pickled bamboo and chilli, and you eat the whole snail out of the shell. River fish still arrives whole.

Allergens in this kitchen

This is the kitchen, not one dish. Woks, fryers, blanching water and utensils are shared in almost every Chinese restaurant, so for a serious allergy treat the whole premises as the unit rather than ordering around it.
