Rank 5. Lai Heen
Modern Cantonese
Perched on an upper floor of the Ritz-Carlton with Pearl River views, Lai Heen is a Cantonese fine dining restaurant that holds a Michelin star and a Forbes Five Star. The cooking follows the classical Cantonese tradition, where precision and restraint do more work than showmanship. The room is formal without being stiff, the kind of place where a Sunday dim sum lunch feels like a proper occasion rather than a casual outing.

Rank 7. Lingnan House
Cantonese
Stained-glass windows and stripped wooden floors give this fifth-floor Cantonese restaurant in the Rosewood Guangzhou the feel of a very grand old house that happens to serve roast goose. The kitchen works closely with named farms across Guangdong, which is the kind of supply chain that shows up on the plate rather than just the menu. It holds a Michelin star.

Sichuan
Thousands of glass feathers hang from a mirrored ceiling above stainless-steel pillars, which is not what most people picture when they think of a Sichuan restaurant. The chef has appeared on Chinese food television, and the menu runs from Sichuan street food classics to wood-roasted aged Peking duck, all inside a room that seems to be auditioning for a science-fiction film. GT Land Plaza, fourth floor, Zhujiang New Town.

A sourdough made from a starter the kitchen has kept alive since day one is a quiet statement of intent. Emmelyn is a contemporary French restaurant in Zhujiang New Town, running seasonal set menus and à la carte, with ingredients that move between Qiandao Lake caviar, French oysters, and Iberian ham. The chef trained across New Zealand and Australia before landing here, and the cooking sits squarely where French tradition meets a lighter, modern hand.
