Nanjing, China Mainland
¥¥¥ ・ Huaiyang
This restaurant on the 50th floor of a hotel tower commands panoramic views of the city. Inspired by the water towns in Jiangnan, the decor melds ancient traditions and modern aesthetics. The large menu features a wide array of choices – mostly Huaiyang in origin, alongside some Jiangzhe classics. Signatures such as shredded dried tofu and lobster braised in chicken stock or home-style deep-fried veal show influences from other Chinese regions.
