One of the oldest eateries in the city, Guangzhou Restaurant was opened in 1936 and has a string of culinary awards. The setting is classic Canton, with courtyards of flowery bushes surrounded by dining rooms of various sizes. The food is reputed to be among the best in the city, with house specialties like "Eight Treasures," a mix of fowl, pork, and mushrooms served in a bowl made of winter melon. Other Cantonese dishes include duck feet stuffed with shrimp, roasted goose, and of course, dim sum. Meals here can be cheap or very expensive, depending on how exotic you're looking to get.
