Top Restaurants in Guangzhou (2025)
Guangzhou, known as the “Millennium Banquet City,” boasts a vibrant food scene heavily influenced by Cantonese cuisine, dim sum, and innovative fusion. Based on the latest Michelin Guide 2025, here are the standout restaurants. I’ve focused on the highest-rated (Two Stars) and a selection of One Star spots for variety, prioritizing those with strong reviews for authenticity and experience. Prices are generally high-end (¥¥¥+), but reservations are essential.
