"While Cantonese cuisine is well represented, and local produce is celebrated in many places, our teams have also praised the incredible culinary diversity Guangzhou offers," said Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of the MICHELIN Guides. "Local gourmets have never stopped going to restaurants, supporting their favorite places and, as a result, maintaining Guangzhous culinary vibrancy and the resilience of its food scene"

 

 

In addition to the 14 existing One MICHELIN Starred restaurants which all maintain their distinction this year, two new restaurants were awarded one star.

 

Xin Ji has been a staple in the seafood restaurant scene for over 30 years. As a classic Cantonese restaurant, the room is well-decorated in Lingnan style, and the fish tank at the door where customers get to pick their live critters also adds to the experience.

 

Named after owner chef Stefan Stiller, Stiller restaurant offers a dining experience that is pleasing to both the eyes and the palate. Seasonal offerings form the backbone of the menu, alongside some rare-to-find German-inspired dishes. Their variety of homemade bread is also a true delight not to be missed.
