I was attracted by this when I was reading a magazine on the plane, so I came here to eat right after I got off the plane. It was really interesting. The dishes were a little slow to serve, but the quality lived up to expectations. Every dish was delicious, and there was no disappointment. I thought the pan-fried milk pancake was a dessert, but it was served with cumin, pepper and salt. I was surprised and couldn't get used to it. I asked the waiter for a sweet sauce, and the waiter brought me a bowl of honey. It tasted much better with the honey. I don't know why the green mushroom is so expensive, and it didn't taste delicious. It tasted the same as the white mushrooms that cost 10 yuan per pound. Maybe I can't understand the mushrooms in Yunnan. The meat of the suckling duck is very tender and the skin is very crispy. The black truffle noodles are just the right size and I finished them in two bites. The dessert sago at the end tasted good too. It cost 400 yuan per person, and we all have small stomachs.
Needless to say, the environment is one of the best private restaurants in Kunming. It is very good and takes up an entire building.

Cuifu is one of the top Chinese restaurants in Kunming. It has a great location and Cuihu Lake is right at the door. The restaurant is a building with a Republican style. There are not many seats in the hall and the decoration is high-end and elegant. My family’s birthday was scheduled here, and we were given a good window seat as requested. The price of its dishes is still quite expensive. If there is no group purchase, you may not be able to enjoy it even if you spend 500 per person. The most wanted Cuifu crispy Dongpo pork has a sweet and crispy skin, sprinkled with caviar, and paired with passion fruit juice to appropriately relieve the sweetness. Yunnan black truffle mushroom fragrant cloth bag has a high appearance value, and the special smell of black truffle is well preserved, but it is a cold dish, which is more suitable for hot weather. Lemongrass glass pigeon has a very crispy skin, but it is a bit salty Ganba mushroom fried rice My family praised it as the best mushroom fried rice they have ever eaten, with a strong mushroom fragrance and distinct rice grains. Fire-caught milk pancakes are a favorite dish of most Yunnan people, and they taste great. Wild mushroom soup, one serving per person, the soup base is delicious. Morel mushrooms and vegetables, the vegetables are cooked just right, and they taste crispy. White porcini mushrooms and marbled beef, a dish priced at more than 600 yuan, the wagyu is of good quality, and it melts in the mouth with a rich milky aroma, but it is still a little salty. Black truffle baked small green dragon, the meat is firm and elastic, much better than some high-end buffets. Jasmine milk jelly, the milk flavor is very strong, but the aroma of jasmine flowers is not felt. These dishes cost nearly 1,500 yuan through group purchase, and if there is no group purchase, it would almost double...
The dishes were served very quickly. The Dongpo pork was delicious, with crispy skin and tender meat. The bread underneath softened the greasiness. The steak was delicious, fat but not greasy. The scallion oil goose liver was a bit sweet, and the bird's nest was served with four kinds of juice, jujube paste, orange juice, and coconut juice. It was warm and delicious.

Fried duck gizzards, crispy and delicious, a good dish to go with wine. Yunnan steamed chicken, the steamed chicken soup is delicious, original flavor. Homemade bacon fried with garlic sprouts, not too salty or bland, just right for rice. Durian grilled breast fan, so delicious, wrapped in durian, bursting with juice in one bite.
The dishes are fresh, the duck skin is crispy and the meat is fat but not greasy, the black goat hotpot is very good, the clear soup is a bit light, Miss Gao Yuan's service is active and she is very diligent in changing the bone butterfly, it is highly recommended👍👍

The most authentic cooking techniques are used to capture the essence of marine and mountain delicacies, allowing diners to appreciate the profound heritage and unique charm of Chaozhou food culture in every dish.
The restaurant's signature dishes, the marinated crab and the Chaozhou-style lion's head goose, are both excellent. The ingredients are fresh, the taste is rich, and they are very memorable. They are definitely worth a try!

April is the most beautiful month in the world. After enjoying the jacaranda, I took a taxi to Azhou Kitchen. I found this vegetarian restaurant because I had stomach discomfort. The restaurant is perfect. Every dish is a culture. The color, fragrance and taste are not enough to describe it. It is an organic fusion of color, fragrance, taste, medicine and food culture. There are only 9 tables in the hall. It is clean and tasteful. The service attitude is good and the lady is pretty! I will definitely come next time!
🌷If you want to have a ceremonial anniversary in Kunming No one will say no to Green Lake Find a beautiful restaurant for dinner, give a carefully selected gift, and then take a walk and drink coffee after dinner It's just right - 🥢Restaurant: Azhou Kitchen (vegetarian ceiling) It's very inconspicuous from the outside, and the French cream style feels very good for taking photos after entering A window seat booked in advance The gentle sunset is in full view The wind blowing from Green Lake There is always the smell of water lilies - 🥗How exquisite are the dishes? Maybe the flower and bird pictures are made on the crackers In the past Every girl can't stop using her phone when the dishes start. She keeps taking photos. The gentle explanation of the waiter makes every dish full of surprises. Ordinary ingredients are given new life by the chef. Shepherd's purse and spring bamboo shoot dumplings🥟. One bite is like "straying into the depths of the bamboo forest". Black truffle germ rice reminds me of the strict control of rice by the king of Japanese sushi. The softness and glossiness are just right. I have been to Azhou many times and I deeply feel that all seasons are good seasons in the dishes. No. 1 on the vegetarian list⃣️ well deserved. It is not wrong to come here for dates and anniversaries, but also adds points. #RomanticDatingRestaurant #ThoseBeautifulVegetarianFoodGuide #ScenicRestaurant #KunmingFood

The environment is amazing! I went there in the summer and it was a cool and comfortable atmosphere. They have a wide variety of recommended dishes, which is dazzling. I especially recommend the sesame tofu and the shrimp tempura, which are very delicious! There are also small dishes such as sweet potato shreds and Shiraho melon. The most impressive ones are the snow crab egg roe with vinegar jelly and the golden eye snapper tempura, which are excellent in both taste and appearance.
It is a super happy thing to have someone accompany you to eat Japanese food. If you are paired with a very good Japanese restaurant, you will feel even more happy. This Japanese restaurant located on the shore of Dianchi Lake has a beautiful view as you can see. It is really quiet, elegant and high-end everywhere. - The ingredients are airlifted from Japan. You can see the freshness with your eyes. Their omakase is innovative and fusion. Watching the chef carefully prepare each exquisite dish in front of you makes it more beautiful to enjoy. Their menu is updated every day. They are all made according to the ingredients of the day. Eating here is like opening a blind box. There are always surprises. - I especially like what Master Taozi makes. His craftsmanship is great. The weather was quite hot when I went there. Master Taozi's dishes are mostly sweet and sour. They are very appetizing. I ate a lot. The more I ate, the happier I was. We also discussed Japanese food and ingredients together. A wonderful day~❤️ 📍Hua Fin Cuisine, Kunming, Yunnan #日料 #滇旅行 #昆明美食探店

The decoration style of Chao Ting Xuan is simple and high-end, suitable for taking photos. The overall dining experience is very pleasant and I highly recommend it to my friends!
The dishes are fresh and beautifully presented, especially the sizzling abalone and marbled beef, which are rich in flavor and amazing.

Shan Nan is probably the largest and most luxurious Japanese restaurant in Kunming. As soon as you enter the door, you can feel the deep Zen. It is suitable for you to come here to feel the quiet time. The large tatami and bamboo structure are very Japanese style, which reflects its high-end. Under the dim light, with your family, clinking a few glasses of special sake, with your favorite food at hand, or having a good chat, or drinking a little to enjoy yourself, it is a unique way of healing. Shan Nan uses high prices to experience high-quality service. The taste is sweet. Put m5m6 Wagyu beef in the baptism pot, let the Wagyu beef jump on the tip of the tongue, and stimulate our picky taste buds.
Afternoon tea with lake view in Kunming🖤Find a quiet place in the city~ I often come to eat omakase at Shan Nan, which is by the 1903 Lake, just a few minutes away from home. The quiet lake view private room is a good place to "enjoy alone" after a busy work · This time I ordered afternoon tea🫖 It gets dark later recently, and afternoon tea can be eaten from 4pm to 8pm · Although the exquisite desserts look small, you can feel the complexity of the production process. Each bite has multiple tastes, and you can also taste the high-quality ingredients, silky and rich in taste · A new Japanese chef 🧑‍🍳Kenichi Watanabe has come to the store, which is amazing Lunch/dinner set meals, evening drinks are suitable for singles and couples to enjoy a good time, and it is also a unique cuisine in Kunming · It looks good for taking pictures📷 Remember to order in advance☎️ · [Shan Nan Kaiseki Cuisine] [Park1903 West-Park 1903 Lakeside Third Floor]
