However, as time goes by, we will find that when we try restaurants that feel good, it seems that "great minds think alike". And gradually found that most of the restaurants recognized by everyone are included in the "Black Pearl Restaurant Guide" of Meituan. So in recent years, it has become the most reliable "gourmet" in my pocket.
Just yesterday, the 2022 Meituan "Black Pearl Restaurant Guide" was officially released! The newly released list will be sold first and announced later. Let's take a look at this "China people's own food list", which is so familiar, but there are many unknowns.
There is no doubt that "born and raised in Sri Lanka" black pearl knows China's taste buds better. Because it not only aims at the tastes of China people and the aesthetics of China people, but also integrates our extensive and profound China food culture into all aspects of evaluation.
The strong big data support of Meituan users means that each of us is part of the review; At the same time, there is also a gorgeous team composed of judges from all over China who represent "China Taste Buds", which makes the annual list of Black Pearl Restaurant Guide worthy of the title of "China people's own food list".
So when we open the black pearl, we can find that not only the famous restaurants in the north, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are on the list, such as the big food in small cities such as Yangzhou, Shantou and Taizhou, but also the small food in those big cities are found and included.
The birth of a list requires anonymous visits and fair evaluation by many judges and consultants. Black Pearl's powerful jury consists of senior gourmets, culinary experts, food culture disseminators and food researchers, among which there are many well-known names.
The members of the black pearl restaurant guide board include: Cai Hao, an international food judge and whisky tasting expert; Dong Xiangzhen, founder of Dadong Zhonghua Yijing Cuisine; Li Xiaolin, the successor of Li Jia's cuisine, and Yang Lu, the first Chinese sommelier in the world, are all powerful figures who know the most exquisite cuisine in China.
Black pearls are based on one, two and three diamonds, and the scenes corresponding to the three grades can be described as very vivid.
Diamonds mean that parties must eat,
Two diamonds represent an anniversary must-eat.
Three diamonds means that you must eat once in your life.
Next time, you might as well choose a delicious restaurant according to the recommended scene time.
As for the new list, what are my favorites, what are your expectations and what surprises are worth looking forward to? Let's take a look.
Two new three-diamond restaurants were added.
Yongfu in Shanghai, living up to expectations, was promoted to a three-diamond restaurant this year.
When I miss the ultimate taste of Ningbo, this restaurant, which mainly focuses on wild Zhoushan seafood, simply and directly refines the delicacy of Ningbo cuisine, which can be described as redefining the high-end Ningbo cuisine.
And Beijing's Meidong Sea Cucumber Store (Nanxincang Store) has become the only three diamonds in Beijing, which is also a restaurant that has grown up with it.
The new warehouse store in Dadongnan, which was frequented by the school before, has been upgraded and iterated in an all-round way, and still maintains a high output. It is an oriental, contemporary and artistic multidimensional dining experience.
The proportion of non-Chinese food has increased
This year, a total of 1 12 non-Chinese restaurants won the professional recognition of 2022 Black Pearl, and the overall list increased by nearly 10% for two consecutive years. This also represents the inclusiveness and diversity of the list.
For example, my favorite Nordic restaurant Refer was newly listed in Beijing and won the 2022 Black Pearl Diamond. Follow the characteristics of seasonality, sustainability and local ingredients, and integrate local ingredients into Nordic cuisine.
There is also Chu modern cuisine recommended by the top ten restaurants last year. I just went to Chengdu last week to try the spring menu. This creative food, which combines local characteristics, also made a diamond on this year's list.
Wynn Grill House (Wynn Palace Store) located in Macau, China is also a heart-warming restaurant that has punched in several times. Moreover, this year's Black Pearl offline award ceremony will be held in Wynn Palace in Macau, China in the near future. I look forward to eating again as soon as possible!
List Shui Xin restaurants.
Finally, I recommend some restaurants that I like to eat.
Beijing is full of mountains and rivers.
Personally, I think it is the ceiling of Beijing vegetarian dishes. Change the menu once every quarter, with the long-cherished wish of "harmony and better", so that people can feel the beauty of natural plant food.
Shanghai Taian gate
The famous Taian Gate, not to mention the quality. The menu changes frequently, and it is also a leader in high-end restaurants. But at the same time, it retains the classic dishes of the restaurant, and each dish is well designed and logical. This is a restaurant that makes people want to go back and try new menus from time to time.
Chongqing yingshe hotpot cuisine
When I was traveling in Chongqing, I went there specially, because it was designed by teacher Xie Ke. Meanwhile, the ingredients are very fresh. I heard that every ingredient can be traced back to the source by barcode. The taste is graded according to the degree of spicy, which is a very elegant hot pot experience.
Hangzhou Longjing Caotang
It is probably not an exaggeration to say that Longjing Caotang is one of the most beautiful restaurants in Hangzhou. Quiet atmosphere, surrounded by green trees and rippling blue waves. Seasonal dishes that change with the seasons are all made with the freshest farm ingredients nearby, which are exquisite and delicate, but also very "grounded".
Beijing ranguocai
Hot pot cooking finally has a name! My favorite restaurant in the Imperial Capital, Sukiyaki, is one of the few restaurants in Beijing that mainly focuses on Kansai Sukiyaki. The meat is fresh and delicious, and the environment is comfortable.
Shanghai baolixuan
When I miss Hong Kong-style morning tea snacks in Shanghai, Baolixuan is probably my first choice. It has both traditional charm and innovative elements. Although there are often waiting lists, it is definitely worth a try.
Guangzhou Tianshui Comfortable Cuisine (Dongfang Wende Branch)
Change the menu once a month, eat from time to time, and always keep the water fresh. Taste buds follow a refined vegetarian diet. From the taste to the setting of dishes, it seems that you can understand the rotation of the four seasons, and there are many ingredients and cooking techniques in Guangdong.
China, Hongkong, Aber.
Although I haven't been back to Hong Kong for two years, this arbor in Central has always occupied a place in my heart. Ya Bu Pushelberg, an interior designer, has devoted a lot of poetry here, and the French-Japanese restaurant is exquisite and beautiful.
China Macau Ziyixuan
Probably because I have lived in Hong Kong for several years, I have a special preference for Cantonese cuisine. Ziyixuan is one of the restaurants I often go to in Macau. While retaining the essence of traditional Cantonese cuisine, modern ideas and creativity are added.
China Taibei student
The RAW restaurant opened by the famous chef Andre Chiang advocates the Bistronomy concept restaurant. This year, I also want to mention the black pearl diamond. Whether it is design, dishes, services, etc. , is definitely a leader in Taipei.
This year's list has been freshly released. Is there a room you love? Welcome to communicate with us in the comments section.
