My friends often ask me how I usually find and choose restaurants. As for me, whenever I travel to a new place, I will ask the locals or get recommendations from friends I have been to.

However, over time, it will be found that everyone seems to think "great minds think alike" when they try restaurants that feel good. And gradually found that most of the restaurants recognized by everyone are included in the "Black Pearl Restaurant Guide" of the US Mission. So in recent years, it has become the most reliable "gourmet" in my pocket.

and just yesterday, the 222 meituan "black pearl restaurant guide" was officially released! The freshly baked list will be sold a little first and then announced later. Why don't we take a look at this "China people's own food list" that is so familiar, but there are many things we don't know?

The black pearl "born and brought up in Sri Lanka" undoubtedly knows China's taste buds better. Because it not only aims at China people's tastes and Chinese aesthetics, but also integrates our profound Chinese food culture into all aspects of the evaluation.

strong big data support of Meituan users means that each of us is a part of the review; At the same time, there is a gorgeous team composed of all Chinese judges representing "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 listed, such as the great delicacies in small cities such as Yangzhou, Shantou and Taizhou, but also the minority delicacies in those big cities are discovered and included.

The birth of a list requires anonymous visits and fair evaluation by many judges and consultants. The strong jury of Black Pearl is composed of senior gourmets, culinary experts, food culture disseminators and food researchers, among which there are many familiar names.

The Black Pearl Restaurant Guide Council includes: Cai Hao, an international food judge and whisky tasting expert; Dong Zhenxiang, founder of Dadong China Yijing Cuisine; Li Xiaolin, a descendant of Lijia cuisine, Lu Yang, the world's first Chinese sommelier, and so on, are all powerful people who know the most exquisite food in the country.

Black pearls are based on one, two and three diamonds, and the scenes corresponding to the three grades are very vivid.

One diamond means you must eat at parties,

Two diamonds means you must eat on anniversaries,

Three diamonds means you must eat once in your life.

Next time, you might as well choose a restaurant with a heart-warming heart according to the scene time it recommends.

As for the favorites I punched out in the new list, what are the expected surprises? Let's take a look.

Two new restaurants with three diamonds are added.

Shanghai's Yongfu lived up to expectations and was promoted to a restaurant with three diamonds 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 high-grade Ningbo cuisine.

As well as Meidadong Sea Cucumber Store (Nanxincang Store) in Beijing, it has become the only Sanzuan restaurant in Beijing, and it can be regarded as a restaurant that grew up with it.

The former Dadong Nanxincang Store, which was visited frequently from school, has been upgraded and iterated in an all-round way, and still maintains a high level of production. It is an oriental, contemporary and artistic multi-dimensional dining experience.

The proportion of non-Chinese food has increased

This year, * * * 112 non-Chinese food restaurants have won the professional recognition of 222 Black Pearl, showing an increase of nearly 1% in the overall list for two consecutive years. This also represents the inclusiveness and diversity of the list.

For example, my favorite Nordic restaurant Refer has been newly listed in Beijing and won the 222 Black Pearl Diamond. Following the characteristics of seasonality, sustainability and local ingredients, it will integrate local ingredients into Nordic dishes.

and Chu MODERN CUISINE, which was recommended in the top ten restaurants of the year last year, just went to Chengdu last week to try the spring menu. This creative cuisine, which combines local characteristics, has also made a diamond on the list this year.

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 Awards Ceremony will be held in Wynn Palace, China Macau in the near future. I look forward to eating it again as soon as possible!

List of Xinshui Restaurants

Finally, I would like to recommend some restaurants that I love.

There are thousands of mountains and rivers in Beijing

Personally, I think it is the ceiling of Beijing vegetarian dishes. Change the menu quarterly, and take "harmony is better" as the long-cherished wish, so that people can feel the beauty of natural vegetable food.

Tai 'anmen in Shanghai

The famous Tai 'anmen is needless to say in terms of quality. The menu changes frequently, and it is also a leader in fine dining restaurant. But at the same time, it retains the classic dishes of the restaurant, and each dish is well designed and logical. It is a restaurant that makes people want to go back and try the new menu every once in a while.

Hot pot cooking in Chongqing

When I was traveling in Chongqing, I went there specially because it was designed by Teacher Xie Ke. At the same time, the ingredients were very fresh. I heard that every ingredient can be traced back to its source by barcode. The taste is graded according to the spicy degree, which is a very elegant hot pot experience.

Hangzhou Longjing Caotang

It is probably no exaggeration to say that Longjing Caotang is one of the most beautiful restaurants in Hangzhou. Quiet atmosphere, surrounded by green trees, but also Bibo Lake. The seasonal dishes that change according to the season are all made of the freshest farm ingredients from nearby, which are exquisite and exquisite, but also very "grounded".

Beijing Burning Pot Cuisine

Burning Pot Cuisine finally has a name! My favorite restaurant in the Imperial Capital, Sukiyaki, is a rare restaurant in Beijing that focuses on Kansai Sukiyaki. The meat is fresh and delicious, and the environment is very comfortable.

Shanghai Baolixuan

Whenever 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 is often a waiting list, it is definitely worth a try.

Guangzhou Tianshui Vegetable Cuisine (Dongfang Wende Store)

Changing the menu every month and not eating from time to time will keep Tianshui fresh forever. Taste buds follow exquisite vegetarian food. From taste to dish setting, it seems that they can read the rotation of the four seasons, and there are many ingredients and cooking techniques in Guangdong.

China and Hong Kong Arbor

Although I haven't been back to Hong Kong for two years, this Arbor in Central has always occupied a place in my heart. Interior designer Yabu Pushelberg has devoted a lot of poetry here, and the fine dining restaurant of French-Japanese fusion 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 Taipei RAW

RAW, a restaurant opened by famous chef Andre Chiang, advocates the concept restaurant of Bistronomy. This year, I also like to mention the black pearl two diamonds. Whether it is design, dishes, service, etc., it is definitely a leader in Taipei.

This year's list has been freshly released. Is there any room that is your love? Welcome to talk to us in the comments section.
