In addition to the prosperity of catering, their mooncakes are also very popular, enjoying the reputation of "how much brighter the moonlight is at home!, cakes are good in Guangzhou".

"Old" and "New", "Tradition" and "Inheritance", Guangzhou Restaurant has successfully made a vivid, three-dimensional and diverse image of a famous cultural enterprise come to the fore through continuous attempts.

Taotaoju-the best in Guangzhou teahouses

To be a landmark of Guangzhou cuisine, the time-honored Taotaoju must be on the list. Taotaoju brand began in the teahouse opened in the sixth year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (188), and has a history of 139 years. In 1993, it was awarded the title of "China Time-honored Brand".

it's located in the downtown area, up and down the building, full of laughter and excitement. when you walk into the hall, it's really rustic. It is said that when Kang Youwei gave lectures in Guangzhou, he often went to this restaurant for tea and improvised the word "Taotaoju". Unfortunately, it is too old to be elegant.

On July 4th, Guangzhou Restaurant announced that it plans to acquire 1% equity of Tao Taoju in cash. After the acquisition, Tao Taoju will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Guangzhou Restaurant.

Lianxianglou-the first lotus seed

In p>1889, in the west corner of the ancient city of Guangzhou, a cake shop specializing in pastry and delicious food opened, which was the predecessor of Lianxianglou. In 1993, it was awarded the title of "China Time-honored Brand" by the Ministry of Internal Trade; In 1998, it was approved as a "national super restaurant" by the domestic trade bureau.

Lianxianglou, which is spread all over Guangzhou, is actually a bakery. Only the one selling moon cakes and cakes keeps its tradition and serves morning tea. Here, the first floor is also a bakery. The first floor and a half are private rooms. The lobby on the second floor is closed in the morning on the third floor.

It is said that all the important candidates for Lianxianglou are known as "loyal and frugal", and all of them are selected from the capable workers under Xinyi. This is the most important reason for the success of Lianxianglou, so there are many old workers who have served Lianxianglou all their lives, and even one family has served Lianxianglou for two generations.

Panxi Restaurant-Garden food is the best in the world

In p>1947, Guangdong native Li Wenlun founded a small restaurant full of rural customs in this "ancient flower dock". There are five streams nearby, one of which is called Panxi, so the small restaurant is also named after Panxi. Until China famous landscape architect Mo Bozhi designed this garden hotel, and the dark green gold plaque on the gate was Mo Bao left by Mayor Zhu Guang.

Walk through the waterfall and see the inner lake. There is not only the restaurant's own artificial lake, but also the original boat, which is also one of the halls. Panxi Restaurant covers an area of 12, square meters, two thirds of which are occupied by trees and rockeries.

The set of red glass reproduces the handwriting of famous calligraphers such as Yan Zhenqing and Su Shi, which is a very rare art treasure. There are also furniture, lamps and ornaments from the Ming and Qing dynasties. These antique art treasures have added infinite humanistic value to Panxi.

Datong restaurant-a flower along the Pearl River

In p>1938, Japanese businessman Nakazawa opened the "Guangzhou Garden Restaurant" at the current site of Datong Restaurant, which was the predecessor of Datong Restaurant. In 1942, "Guangzhou Garden Restaurant" was given to Feng Jiansheng, the king of Hong Kong restaurants, because of poor management, and the name of the restaurant was changed to "Datong Restaurant".

Until December 1st, 216, Datong Restaurant will be closed from December 1st. Datong restaurant's per capita consumption is not high, and the tea market is only 3 yuan/person. In addition, the Long Beach has always been blocked by traffic jams, which can only attract the support of middle-aged and elderly customers.

On August 12th, 218, Datong Restaurant reopened dramatically in CITIC Plaza after a year and a half of business suspension. As soon as the news came out, the circle of friends exploded, and many old neighborhoods and employees came to join in. It is reported that the average waiting time reached 2 hours three days before reopening.

Nanyuan Restaurant-China Paradise

Nanyuan Restaurant was founded in 1963, covering an area of about 1, square meters. The restaurant is designed in Lingnan architectural garden styles such as blue bricks and green tiles, upturned cornices, pavilions, bridges and flowing water.

The bamboo forest in the garden is full of flowers and birds, and it is also called "the three major garden restaurants in Guangzhou" with Panxi Restaurant and Beiyuan Restaurant. Nanyuan produces a traditional, first-class Guangzhou flavor.

no wonder Michelin was also selected as the recommendation, which is one of the representatives of old high-end Cantonese cuisine. In addition, Nanyuan has a beautiful environment. Although there is no lake view as Panxi, there are many Mo Bao in the North Park, and the South Park is superior to the nearby park, with elegant interior.

the culture of morning tea has penetrated into the bone marrow of everyone in Guangzhou, so that's why the phrase "busy for fame, busy for profit, taking time off to have a cup of tea" came into being. Office workers certainly don't have time to "drink tea". However, even if they are forced to make a living and time is tight, they will come to a dish of rice rolls in the morning to make a good cup of tea and let their souls have a rest.
