The architectural layout is unique and very Lingnan style. The private room area is set in the garden, with small bridges, flowing water, and trees and flowers. The waiters are in place and greet you with a smile. The service attitude is good! It is very enjoyable to dine here. The environment is good. You can enjoy the garden while eating. I recommend you to try it.
The taste is good, and the environment is even better. It feels like eating in a big house. Every dish is very exquisite, but the rice worm is still hard to eat. It’s not that the food is not good, but I don’t dare to eat it when I see the worm.

A very famous place, you have to check in from time to time and eat authentic food, especially the Wangcai fried dough, which is not only beautiful, but also tastes great, glutinous but not sticky, a must-order when you go. Nice environment, comfortable
The hotel we stayed in was opposite Shiqi Lao. We arrived at 5-6pm on Friday. We were afraid of queuing so we came in to eat first.
[Mint] Environment:
The floor was high and the hall was large. It was comfortable to sit, but the distance between the tables was a bit narrow. It would be better if they were a little wider.
[Service bell] Service:
There were many waiters and the dishes were served quickly
"Famous Shiqi Pigeon", "Pineapple Bun", "Wangcai Fried Dumpling", "Fragrant Spicy Bean Curd Skin", "Fish Bun in Soup", "Braised Large Intestine" were all delicious, but the portion was a little small. "Salt-baked Pigeon Heart and Kidney" was a little salty
In general, the products were good, and the average price per person was 87

There is a Chongqing Chicken Pot nearby, absolutely a prime location. It is a newly opened small shop with a clean and beautiful environment, so I decided to dine there on the spur of the moment. The opening promotion group purchase of the double chicken pot set meal, originally priced at 91 yuan, was reduced to 29 yuan, which is very affordable!
It's delicious. It seems that everyone comes to eat squab, but I don't dare

This is a time-honored shop that existed before the founding of the People's Republic of China. It has been run by three generations and is a neighborhood business. The family-made meatballs have been popular for half a century, and many diners come here specifically to take away! The hand-made meatballs are solid and full, and the taste is beyond imagination. They are mixed with chopped mushrooms and have a hint of umami.
The beef wontons are very authentic. The rice noodle rolls are also delicious.

The taste is very good, authentic Cantonese flavor, suitable for everyone. Many people go to the store in the morning to drink tea, chat and have fun. The variety is diverse and colorful, the price is not expensive, and the general public, whether young people or the elderly, likes it.
Because it is not far from home, I often visit it. The authentic Guangdong morning tea is delicious and exquisite, but also very different from what I imagined. It is not like the morning tea in a big restaurant, but belongs to the food stalls! The consumption is medium, not high or low. There are many people on holidays, and it is difficult to get a seat. I won’t mention the service. A group of aunties, those who have eaten in Guangdong food stalls know what the aunties are. In short, it is okay and worth tasting.

Stop by and check in at a cafe on the mountain, “山chil” in Dongqiao District, Zhongshan City.
Let’s come and sit and sip coffee on the mountain, enjoy the view, and breathe in the fresh air!
This place doesn’t just have fragrant coffee, but also has cool breezes, beautiful views, and great photo spots that will give you a feeling like you’ve fully recharged your energy.
They say that “good alcohol isn’t afraid of 巷子深” (deep 巷子). Good coffee is the same. Even if you’re on the mountain, people will still follow you!
Do you want to escape the chaos, stretch your legs, play a light game, take cool photos, and sip your favorite cup of coffee?
This place has everything you need!
Hurry up and invite your friends to check in.

I went on a business trip to Zhongshan with my colleagues and stopped by to eat this crispy carp fillet. It was my first time eating this kind of fish and I was fascinated by the crispy fish meat.
"Steamed fish belly with black bean sauce" The fish belly is relatively fat, crispy and delicious.
"Fish bones with pepper and salt" The fish bones are fried very fragrant, and the taste of pepper and salt is also good.
"Fresh crispy meat Anhui fish fillet" The fish fillet is really delicious, crispy, not fishy at all. Super delicious.
"Crispy meat carp balls" Relatively speaking, the fish balls are average.
"Shiqi pigeon" The pigeon is also very delicious. I thought two were too many at first, but after a bite, I felt that I could finish two by myself.
Overall, the environment of this restaurant is average, but the food is really delicious.
The restaurant is located in Dongsheng Town, Zhongshan City, the hometown of crispy grass carp in China. We came here because of its reputation. The environment is good. The hall is almost full of people. We sat in the room to avoid the noise. I recommend the one fish four dishes set meal. The steamed fish belly with black bean sauce is crispy and sweet, the salt and pepper fish bones are crispy and delicious, the boiled fish fillet and fish balls are sweet and refreshing, and finally a bowl of fish intestines and fish oil fried rice, which is really delicious.

The buffet here is OK. At least the presentation is pretty good. Sometimes they will cut the food for you, so you don't have to think too much and you can eat well.
I checked in at the buffet at the tallest building in Zhongshan, Lihe Westin, during the New Year. The environment is first-class, the scenery is beautiful and you can see the scenery of Xijiang River. The buffet has a rich variety and tastes great, especially the stew, pizza, barbecue, and sushi. The taste is also outstanding🉐🉐🉐

A friend from Hong Kong came to Zhongshan and really wanted to eat Western food. Finally, he chose the Zhongshan Hilton Hotel, and he had an unexpected surprise! The restaurant already has a strong Christmas atmosphere...the smoked salmon salad is very delicious! The mushroom soup is reserved as the original flavor of mushrooms, which can only be described in one word... The waiter Carissa served Zuo Wodi very politely. I really like this young and energetic little girl... Thank you for the hospitality, and I will come again next time! ! !
Good products, good food, beautiful environment, attentive service, I will go there when I have time.
