CHIU CHOU CITY Hotel Landmark Canton, Qiao Guang Lu, Guangzhou, China Phone: 020/8335-5988 $18 to $37 Guangzhou Chinese One of the best places for authentic food from the Shantou area is this restaurant in the Landmark Canton Hotel. It has a large main room and several private rooms, which are invariably packed for lunch and dinner. The house special is Chiu Chow goose, served as cold cuts or cooked in its own blood and dipped into a sauce of white vinegar and chopped garlic. AE, DC, MC, V. CONNOISSEUR Garden Hotel, 368 Huanshi Donglu, Guangzhou, China Phone: 020/8333-8989 ext. 3962 Over $37 Guangzhou French You could almost be in Regency France in the Garden Hotel's premier restaurant. The arched columns with gilded capitals, gold-framed mirrors, lustrous drapes, and immaculate table settings are just right. And the food doesn't disappoint. A French chef is in charge, and the finest Continental fare is on the menu. AE, DC, MC, V.
DATONG RESTAURANT Nanfang Dasha, 63 Yanjiang Xilu, Guangzhou, China Phone: 020/8188-8988 $18 to $37 Guangzhou Chinese Occupying all eight stories of an old building on the riverfront, with an open terrace on the top floor, this is one of the city's veteran dining places. It is famous for its morning dim sum and a 1,000-dish menu that includes peacock chicken - braised and cut in the shape of a peacock with its tail fanned - served with vegetables and ham; crisp-skin chicken; and Xishi duck. AE, DC, MC, V. FOOD STREET China Hotel, Liuhua Lu, Guangzhou, China Phone: 020/8666-6888 Under $18 Guangzhou Chinese The concept of a "food street," with half a dozen open kitchens preparing food from different regions of China, was created here. Since then it has become a staple of all New World hotels and of plenty of other places. It is especially attractive for foreigners, who can see what's cooking before choosing from the menu. It's also ideal for casual meals at any time, and service is efficient and helpful. AE, DC, MC, V.
OLD SHANGHAI RESTAURANT AND BAR 48 Jianshe Liu Malu, Guangzhou, China Phone: 020/8384-2065 Under $37 Guangzhou Chinese Comfortable rattan furniture, white-linen tablecloths, and soft lighting give this restaurant a subtle air of spring in old Shanghai, and Shanghai food is what is on the menu. Exotic dishes include bird's nests, sea snail, and pig brains. There is also a fine selection of more mundane clay-pot stews. AE, DC, MC.
