Opened in 1963, Nan Yuan Restaurant, along with Panxi and Beiyuan, is known as one of the three major garden restaurants in Guangzhou. Designed by the famous Lingnan architect Mo Bozhi, the restaurant retains traditional elements like Manchurian windows amidst pavilions and water features, and was selected for the Michelin Bib Gourmand recommendation in 2026. Michelin recommends the Steamed Garoupa Rolls, which serves one fish in two styles; the roast goose, premium shrimp dumplings, and barbecued pork pastries are also highly popular among diners. On holidays, the queue gets very long after 10:00, so it is best to arrive early; the main dining hall can be quite noisy. The average cost is about CNY 90 to 110 per person. Business hours on some platforms may vary, so calling to confirm is recommended.
Opening hours
Around 08:00-21:30 (times vary slightly across platforms, may close between lunch and dinner)
