In these days, eating is definitely not just to eat for yourself. Business, family banquets, parties, and dates are all reasons for eating. Therefore, in my opinion, the first level of eating well is nothing more than who you eat with, where you eat, and what you eat. The second level of paying attention to depends on what food you want, what the environment is like, and how the service is. People who have a lot of meals generally have requirements for both conditions. Nanjing, a city that is not too big or small, has many places to eat. In fact, there are not many places that can meet the needs of both levels at the same time. The following is my experience over the years of hard work and eating fat. It is authentic and original hand-made dry goods.

1. Meiyuan Restaurant of Jinling Hotel

Recommendation index 5 stars

Nanjing's oldest high-end hotel was designated as a reception place by the provincial government (there was only one in the province, look at its status). Anyway, it has always been very impressive in history. In the center of the city, the environment and services are first-class, so I don't need to praise it. It is said that when it first opened in the 1980s, hundreds of people lined up every day in order to go to the revolving restaurant on the top floor for a cup of coffee (now called the Internet celebrity check-in point).

The ingredients must be good, and the master chef is also of high standard. Every generation of masters has famous dishes that are popular throughout the city. The price cannot be close to the people, but if you eat with peace of mind, the comprehensive coefficient is worth the price. Recommended several dishes: salted duck, lion's head, and famous soft bag. Although the name is ordinary, it is really not easy to cook such a simple dish for so many years and still be praised by everyone.

2. Shangri-La Hotel Jiangnan Zao Restaurant

Recommended index of four and a half stars

It is rare in China for a person to make the name of a hotel. Chef Hou Xinqing, I only learned that this master's nickname is "Huaiyang Swordsman" by looking at the tip of my tongue. There are many posters in the restaurant featuring the chef and his various dishes. The business is so good that it turns over even at noon every day.

The craftsmanship is really good. Many people say that this is the first time they go to eat and their impressions of several signature dishes are absolutely amazing. The rice cake is cooked with yellow croaker. The meat is tender and tender, the rice cake is soft and glutinous, and the soup is delicious and sticky; the fish head jumps over the wall. All kinds of seafood and fish heads are cooked soft and rotten, without any fishy smell, and the Jiangnan flavor of thick oil red sauce. In particular, there is a big dish "Da Shao Ma 'anshan Bridge" hidden on the menu. I only tasted it with regular customers. The thick eel sections are carefully opened, tender and springy, and the taste of juice is all in. It is very great.

3. Shenghe Mansion Luxury Select Hotel Hanglingge Restaurant

Recommended index of four and a half stars

The new hotel next to the Presidential Palace is beautifully decorated and has easy parking. I have read Ruanwen. The chef is Taiwanese and is good at Taiwanese and Zhejiang cuisine, especially traditional cuisine. The utensils and plates are very beautiful. This beauty is not fancy, but makes people feel that it has aesthetic associations. The collocation of many dishes is very innovative. Let me talk about the dishes I most recognize: Chuanyang bean crisp silver cod, fried bean dregs, crispy, rough and fragrant, and form a wonderful contrast with the fine and tender cod; Danqing Liwei fried cherries, well, it is what ordinary people think of as Gongbao bullfrog balls. From the perspective of me as a foodie, Danqing is the dripping juice on the plate, which is beautiful, and the flavor of lychee is the taste. The core difference between Gong Bao and lychee is the difference in sweetness, sweetness and spiciness in the mouth.

I swiped it four times and it's worth going again.

4. Wenxi Restaurant of Zhuangyuanlou Hotel

Recommended index of four and a half stars

At the entrance of Peking University in Confucius Temple, many foreign guests and overseas Chinese come. Because it is in the Fuzimiao food business district and does not pay attention to publicity, even many locals do not understand the catering characteristics of this hotel. I only focus on the snacks here.

The old Qinhuai Bajue style is original and original in this house. Without comparison, it will not hurt. In the past, I always took my friends to eat in the Confucius Temple, but my satisfaction was not high. To be honest, only the traditional snacks from this house are really old. There are also many new snacks, such as steamed dumplings with plum blossom, peach blossom cakes, and black jade. Anyway, no matter how elegant they are, they can't be eaten inside the Confucius Temple, but they can't even be seen outside. They are exquisite and elegant. They are all made by hand, and the key is still very nice. If you want to talk about the professional level of Nanjing snacks, I think if you try this place, you can really taste Jiangnan's poetic style.
