I won’t go into details about how many delicacies there are in Guangzhou. Even I, a native of Guangzhou, can’t eat them all in Guangzhou.
But fortunately, Guangzhou now has developed transportation lines, especially the Guangzhou Metro, which runs from east to west, north to south.
As the saying goes, "If you have a map, you have delicious food"! As long as you have a subway map in hand, Guangzhou’s delicious food is no problem. There is no delicacy you can’t find, just because your stomach is not enough! So today, let’s talk about the delicacies on the most classic Guangzhou Metro Line 1!
Note: This article only represents personal taste. If you don’t like it, please feel free to comment. Some of the restaurants are ones I often eat at or have eaten at before, so I didn’t take any photos of them.
Guangzhou Metro Line 1 is the oldest subway line in Guangzhou. It runs through three districts of Tianhe, Yuexiu and Liwan from east to west, one economic center district and two traditional old districts.
The stops are: Guangzhou East Railway Station → Sports Center → Tiyu West Road → Yang Ji → Dongshankou → Martyrs Cemetery → Agricultural Lecture Center → In front of the park → West Gate → Chen Family Ancestral Hall → Changshou Road → Huangsha → Fangcun → Huadiwan → Hang Hau → Sailang (east-west direction).
I have not visited all these places, let alone eaten them, so today I can only share with you some of the delicious food I have eaten.
As one of the railway stations in Guangzhou, Guangzhou East Railway Station not only has convenient transportation, but also has shopping and food. In addition to the well-known IKEA, Guangzhou East Railway Station also has Oriental Baotai Plaza.
As you can imagine, the flow of people here is also very dense. There is a wide variety of food here: Japanese food, Cantonese food, Sichuan food, etc., can all be found here.
Refu bone soup with vegetables
This restaurant actually feels a bit like Malatang. You can choose the dishes by yourself, and it’s up to you to be rich and frugal.
I like this shop for several reasons: first, it is relatively clean, not as dirty as many roadside malatang shops; second, the price is very affordable, like the bowl in the picture, it costs about 2; Third, the soup is rich, because after all, it is a "bone soup". Although I don't expect it to be a soup made from big bones, the overall taste is not bland at all and it feels very fragrant.
Address: B1, POPARK Oriental Baotai Shopping Plaza, No. 63 Linhe Middle Road, Tianhe District, Guangzhou
Huochuihuo Izakaya
I don’t know why the East Station is here There are many small and small izakayas. I was obsessed with the drama "Wakako Sake" for a while, so I decided to go to an izakaya to find out. In fact, in Japan, only boys go to izakaya, but I think in Guangzhou, of course you can give it a try.
I like the barbecue of this restaurant, which is also commonly known as "roast bird". It is very suitable for eating with wine.
Address: Bauhinia 1, diagonally opposite the IKEA furniture exchange center (opposite to Jiayi Haoting Hotel)
Diandude (Hexinglou store)
This Home is a famous Cantonese dim sum restaurant in Guangzhou, which also has many branches in Guangzhou.
Its features are firstly, morning tea snacks available all day long, and secondly, old favorites and new ones, such as salmon tarts, four-color shrimp dumplings with American ginseng and chicken soup, chicken feet with wheat and soy sauce, etc. Currently, there is also "Bideliao" (similar to "Wu Lao" in Cantonese) under Diandu De in the Zhujiang New Town store, which is also famous for its special dishes. However, this is considered an internet celebrity restaurant and has mixed reviews.
If you want to try traditional Cantonese morning tea, you can go to White Swan Hotel, Guangzhou Restaurant, Beiyuan Restaurant, Taotaoju, etc.
Address: No. 148 Linhe Middle Road (next to Jiayi Haoting Hotel)
Tiyu West Road Station is nicknamed "Hell West Road" because there are too many people. But after all, this is one of the most prosperous and lively places in Guangzhou, so there are a lot of delicious food. The restaurants I have eaten at include:
Chicha·Shanwei Specialty Food
Because my grandpa’s hometown is in Shanwei, I have a deep love for Shanwei food. Among them, the Shanwei vegetable tea and salty pancakes were very fresh to me, while the mackerel fish balls and kuey teow were a bit ordinary. There is also Lei Xian Tea, which I have always wanted to try, but because the portion is large, I will save the opportunity for next time.
Address: Shop 104, No. 28 Liuyun, Tianhe Nan 1st Road
The former tavern
As the name suggests, it is also a small place suitable for having a drink with friends. Tavern. I discovered that I really love wine. There are many dishes to go with drinks, I like the stir-fried green beans, Sichuan style skewers, fat beef, Bashu sausages, and the sweet hawthorn wine that I must order every time. For those who haven’t tried it, you can check in at this internet celebrity tavern.
Address: No. 50, Tiyu West Road
Let’s eat crayfish together
There is a Tiyu Xiheng Street over Tiyu West Road, and the whole street is full of food Among them is my favorite crayfish restaurant. It’s the best to eat with beer in summer! Although the price is a bit more expensive, it is more convenient.
Address: No. 78, Tiyu Xiheng Street
Dongshankou is my favorite place because the scenery is so beautiful. There are many old villas near Xiguyuan Road, which I have written about before.
Nowadays, there are many old villas that have been converted into very stylish cafes. The environment is perfect, which is very suitable for having a leisurely afternoon tea with friends. I have been to:
Kuiyuan 1922 Art Museum
It is an old building with a history of 96 years. The first floor is an art gallery with regular exhibitions, and the second floor is a coffee shop. The decoration inside is very comfortable, and the most important thing is that the old stairs and wooden handrails are still preserved. When my mother saw it, she said it looked like the old Dongshan house she lived in before.
Address: No. 9, Xiguyuan Road
Shuimusheng Vegetarian Food
It is also a very stylish store, and now it is also available in Guangbai on Beijing Road. open a branch.
But they are specifically vegetarian. If you are used to eating big fish and meat, you might as well eat healthy vegetarian dishes for once.
The specialty of this restaurant is that the dishes are more creative and distinctive. Although the price is a bit expensive, since I recently discovered a more expensive vegetarian restaurant "Tianshui" (Oriental Wendene), I discovered Shuimu Sheng is really nothing...
Address: Room 405, 4th Floor, Dongshan Jinxuan Modern City, Nonglinxia Road
Old squad leader’s handmade soup dumplings (want to eat)
I have always wanted to eat soup dumplings, but I have never had the chance to go. This store now has branches in many different places in Yuexiu District. I remember there is also one in Zhujiang New Town. But I remember that Dongshan is the main store, so I always wanted to try it.
Address: 3rd Floor, Guangbai Department Store, No. 37 Nonglinxia Road
Familiar places, let me talk about the restaurants I have eaten at:
Motor Canteen
p>This store can be said to be my "late night dining hall"! First, it is close to home, second, it tastes good, and third, the price is low. Among them, the rice bowl is generally 40-60 yuan/bowl, while the sashimi set meal is only 75 yuan, which feels like a good deal! There are many branches, especially on Beijing Road, but I have only been to this one.
Address: No. 71, Zhongshan 3rd Road
Jia Shu Tang Wan Wang
Tang Wan is actually the Cantonese pronunciation of glutinous rice balls. This shop serves all kinds of glutinous rice balls. Yes, it's right near the Motor Canteen, it's easy to find.
But because I am tired of eating traditional glutinous rice balls, I like their salty glutinous rice balls best. This store is also considered a time-honored store in the Martyrs Cemetery, so you might as well give it a try.
Address: No. 77, Zhongshan 3rd Road
Sushi Emperor
I know there is this restaurant in China Plaza, but I have never eaten there. This is the first time. Instead, I ate in Zhuhai. It's a store under the Sizhou Group, but I think it's quite good in Japanese cuisine.
Address: Shop 3002B, 3rd Floor, China Plaza, No. 33 Zhongshan 3rd Road
Secret Travel
An afternoon tea shop with a beautiful environment, between Tianhe and Jiangnan There are also branches in the west, but I have only been to the one in Martyrs Cemetery. Because it was renovated from a small western-style building, the environment is very good and is very suitable for little girls.
Address: No. 18, Renxing Street, Zhongshan 3rd Road
The most familiar place is also a place rich in delicious food! Must definitely come!
Most of the delicacies here are concentrated at Exit A of the Agricultural Training Institute. Dezheng Middle Road and Wenming Road are places where every foodie will go!
The ones I have eaten that I thought were delicious and go back again and again:
Dayang original stew:
My favorite coconut chicken! Because this store used to be on Wenming Road and there were too few locations, I would always take it home to eat. Because I brought the whole coconut home, I would dig out the coconut and eat it too! The soup is also delicious, and the black-bone chicken in it is also delicious! I didn’t eat black-bone chicken before, but I ate it only because of this restaurant!
Now Dayang has opened a new store on Dezheng Middle Road. The environment is quite comfortable and you can sit and eat comfortably! It’s really fun to eat in winter!
Address: Ground Floor, No. 304 Dezheng Middle Road/No. 160-1, Wenming Road
Wing Chun Scallion Pancake:
This shop is super exaggerated, served every afternoon At five or six o'clock, there would be at least twenty or thirty people queuing up. When I first went there, I would think to myself: Isn't it just a scallion pancake? Is it necessary to wait in such a long queue? But after eating it, I found that I can no longer like scallion pancakes from other places!
But probably because the scallion pancakes are freshly made, they are especially crispy and hot! In Cantonese, it is called "Bu Bu Crispy"! And the price is really good. I usually buy it for 3-5 yuan per person, and I can eat very happily!
Another frustrating thing is that everyone buys so much! Buying it for 20 yuan or 30 yuan, I feel like every time I buy it for 3 yuan, it’s like a mudslide! Many times, after waiting in line for 20 minutes, it’s finally my turn! At this time, the person in front bought 30 yuan! ! ! So, I can only wait patiently for another round of pancakes.
Now I usually only dare to buy it in the early morning, because there are usually only 4.5 people lining up in the morning!
Address: No. 298, Dezheng Middle Road
Baidaguo:
I feel ashamed to say that I have been to many restaurants, and every time I eat or eat Mango Pancake. Recently, I finally got in touch with Guo from Baidu Guo! delicious! It’s also a store I like to go to when I’m walking in the evening. Fruit desserts are the most famous.
Address: No. 276, Dezheng Middle Road
I have eaten and thought it was pretty good: Taoyuan Food Claypot Rice (although there were many people, probably because it is traditional claypot rice); Baihua Dessert (This restaurant couldn’t be more famous, and there are endless varieties, but every time I order it, I always find it too sweet, so I personally don’t like it very much, but I am also good at desserts, so this may also have an impact) Jiuye Chicken (a traditional barbecue restaurant, I personally prefer the Miaozhan barbecue restaurant in Dongshan, but the advantage of this restaurant is that there are seats where you can sit and eat)
I haven’t tried one that is said to be delicious: Mother-in-law Noodles, Rongji pig trotters and ginger, Qingyuan chicken porridge (next to Sun Yat-sen Library), Shiying Ying.
There is also Yongying Tea Restaurant at Exit D of the Agricultural Training Institute. It is said to be the first Hong Kong-style tea restaurant in Guangzhou. It was opened when I was about 4 years old, that is, 20 years ago. Got it! There is also a restaurant over at Dongshankou, and I come here from time to time. After all, I feel nostalgic about it.
Address: No. 130, Zhongshan 4th Road
A familiar place! I can’t recommend any store! Because this is where Beijing Road, a food paradise, is located! Of course, you can also take Line 6 to Beijing Road Station. Anyway, when you come to Beijing Road, you must not miss a street called "Huifu East Road Food Street". There are so many delicious foods here.
What about the rotating thousand-layer potatoes (I don’t know if this is the name, I chose it myself), the traditional radish offal, and the assorted fruits and silver cakes that I don’t like so much but are eaten by many people. Rice roll shop...and my favorite big head shrimp Thai food and Renxin Double Skin Milk are also on this street!
In short, you just come to eat! But after all, it is a famous scenic spot and the price is a bit expensive, so in order to save money, I often go to the nearby Wenming Road to eat! There are also many internet celebrity gourmet restaurants there! Such as Fan Ju and Fatty Pork Bak Kut Teh!
The "Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street" that everyone knows is here! You said you ate too much? However, there are more traditional Xiguan delicacies here. Some of them I have eaten a long time ago because I haven’t been there recently, but I still know some of them. Friends who want to try Xiguan delicacies cannot miss them!
Guangzhou Restaurant
This is a must-try restaurant in Guangzhou! It is not too expensive and is suitable for the whole family to eat. There are many Guangzhou Restaurant chains in Guangzhou, but this one on Shangxiajiu Road is the main store, so it is particularly famous. In addition to its delicious taste, its shape is also relatively exquisite.
Address: No. 2, Wenchang South Road
Taotaoju
In fact, after Taotaoju changed hands, the taste and the famous signboard of the past are no longer there. I heard from an old neighbor that the name was actually going to be changed to "Lucky Building" back then, but because Taotaoju's name was relatively big, the name was not changed. And this store is said to be different from Taotaoju in Tianhe Zhengjia.
As for the taste, I think it’s okay, especially the morning tea, it’s really okay, not amazing. But dinner was not bad, the price is not expensive, and the taste is delicious. You can try this traditional Cantonese restaurant.
Address: No. 20 Shishifu Road
Chen Tianji Fish Skin
Actually, I have never been to this restaurant in Shangxiajiu... but this one It is very famous, so there was a food carnival held on Beijing Road during the Guangfu Temple Fair. Chen Tianji was setting up a stall, so I ate it. The taste was still very good.
Address: Enter the second stall in Lane 3, Shifufu, Baohua Road
Lilin Restaurant (want to eat)
I haven’t eaten there yet, but It’s an internet celebrity soup noodle shop! The materials are optional and the price is affordable. In addition to oysters and other basic seafood, there are even lobsters! This is really exaggerated!
Address: No. 165, Xihua Road
It’s finally the end. These three are all the restaurants I want to eat, and my colleagues think they are all good restaurants!
White Swan Hotel·Yutang Chunnuan Restaurant
A five-star hotel, the environment and taste are very good, and the restaurant inside has just been selected as a Michelin one-star restaurant.
Address: 3rd Floor, White Swan Hotel, No. 1, Shamian South Street
Locomotive Western Restaurant
An old French Western restaurant with a very good style and a reasonable price , colleagues often go there!
Address: No. 1-1, Shamian North Street
Huangsha Seafood and Aquatic Products Market
This aquatic product market is also quite famous in Guangzhou. You can visit it here Buy seafood on the spot and ask the boss to process it for you. But it’s more cost-effective to go with more people. If one or two people go there, they usually won’t get much food.
Address: Huangsha Seafood Trading on Market 3rd Street
I finally finished writing it. Although I haven’t finished talking about Line 1 and I haven’t finished eating all the shops, I have written everything. It’s such a long story.
In the future, I will continue to eat and eat, and bring these stores to you!
