230***71I can only say it's OK, worth the 699, the service is average! They changed the dishes directly without telling me, and I didn't know until I asked. I don't understand how to change the sakura shrimp to seasonal vegetables, maybe there are too many people at 6.1

2. Soalian

Adventures of LengThe restaurant has a very elegant environment, with a good balance of tension and relaxation, making people feel relaxed and comfortable. The dishes are also exquisite and delicious, with high-quality ingredients, just the right amount of heat, and a variety of side dishes or sauces that make the dishes more delicious. Whether it is the common shrimp dumplings and egg tarts, or the soup pot steamed fish that tests one's skills, every dish will bring surprises.

淋雨木木I stayed at Jinling Hotel and experienced the food at Meiyuan. The quality of the dishes was very good, especially the green peas and water chestnuts, which were definitely worth a try. The waiters Xiaojie and Xiaotang were very considerate. I will try other dishes next time I come to Nanjing.

吃货熊猫君Xuzhou people eat in Nanjing: Li Ji Guotie Muslim Restaurant I never thought there would be a restaurant with long queues in Nanjing? This one is in Dading Lane! It is very popular. We queued for a long time, maybe half an hour. It would be better if there were more people. One person queues while the others look for seats. The main reason is to queue for their most famous pot stickers. We ordered beef pot stickers, wontons, beef offal soup, spicy beef, beef tendon, tofu skin...the sauce is mixed with a dish of chili oil + vinegar!

大足熊猫How can I describe it? Look at the picture. It smells like a refrigerator. I don't know how many days it has been there. The fruits are all dried up. The mousse doesn't have the texture of mousse. There is too much gelatin. The glaze is also watery and can't hold. I won't talk about the coffee art. The milk foam is too thick. It was dark in the daytime, the weather was bad, and the lights were not on. Dear dessert chef, is this worthy of the InterContinental Hotel's name?

M21***16The first meal we had when we arrived in Nanjing was at Nanjing Dapaidang. The three golden characters and the decoration style at the entrance of Dapaidang gave us a feeling of traveling through time and space. It was past the peak time for lunch but the restaurant was still full. Jinling Roast Duck. The driver introduced that Nanjing Roast Duck is the predecessor of Beijing Roast Duck. Nanjing Roast Duck with marinade tastes really good.

8. Nanjing Da Pai Dang ( De Ji Square )

geqi[Mint] Environment: The decoration is quite unique. I like the antique style. I have been here several times. The most unique thing is the snacks. Afternoon tea is quite good. [Service bell] Service: The service attitude is also quite good. The speed of likes is very fast, and the speed of serving food is also quite fast. The snacks inside are all good.

红妆人NefelibataThe cooked pressed duck is shaped like a pipa, like a jade plate, fat but not greasy, separated from the bones and slag, evenly salty and light, with a long taste. The duck meat is firm and tough, with a strong sauce flavor. The first bite is full of meaty aroma, the more you chew, the more fragrant it is. It is delicious and satisfying.
