  9. Velvet tufted chairs, vintage blue bricks, and art collected from assorted corners of the world set the mood at this Hui cuisine restaurant inside the Jin Jiang Cypress Hotel. The kitchen sources most of its ingredients directly from Anhui, including mouldy tofu, a regional staple that sounds alarming and tastes like a revelation. The braised pork trotter simmers in a marinade that's been going for decades, which is either dedication or stubbornness, possibly both.

  53. The menu arrives formatted as an airplane boarding pass, which tells you most of what you need to know about Avant. Jerry Tian, formerly of Alinea in Chicago, runs this contemporary fine dining room in Nanshan with a borderless, hyper-seasonal kitchen that hopscotches cuisines without apology. Next door he operates a dessert shop with its own nine-course chef's table, because apparently one room wasn't enough.

  54. Rank 653. Ensue

    Contemporary Cantonese

    A preserved radish puff shaped like a carrot, pulled from edible "soil" at the table, is a reasonable introduction to what this 40th-floor fine dining room is doing with Cantonese cooking. The team leans into obscure Guangdong ingredients and labor-intensive technique without the usual white-tablecloth severity, which takes some doing at this altitude. Rare regional fare, playful forms, and a Buddha's hand chocolate that somehow makes sense.


  55. Rank 653. Gem Garden

    Teochew

    Silk chandeliers and vintage collectibles set the mood in this dimly lit, courtyard-style Chiu Chow restaurant in Futian, where the kitchen follows the 24 solar terms as a guide to what's on the plate. The team, mostly Chaoshan natives, leans into heritage recipes and lu shui marinated dishes with a seasonal, back-to-basics discipline. A South China Morning Post 100 Top Tables pick, it draws the kind of crowd that arrives knowing exactly what to order.

  56. A Cantonese dining room inside the Mandarin Oriental Shenzhen, where the menu spans Lingnan and Chaoshan traditions as though the two had never been separated. Chef Fei has spent decades in this cuisine, and the kitchen handles both an elaborate dim sum lunch and evening plates like crispy eel with osmanthus honey without breaking a sweat. The kind of room where the steamed BBQ pork buns alone could anchor the afternoon.

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
