    When in Guilin, you must pay Rosy a visit. It is definetly the best western Restaurant in town, if not in entire China. Her cuisine is majorly influenced by all the Westeners that livein Guilin, all giving her advise and even sponsoring ingridients and recipes... so this does really taste like home!

    There you can have:
    - all kinds of pasta
    - pizzas
    -salads (with real dressing!)
    - mueslis
    -yoghurts
    -burritoes
    -steaks and schnitzels
    -beers, cocktails, shots
    -real icecream
    -real coffee, cappuccino, and espresso
    -etc

    it is a small restaurant with a casual atmosphere(great selection of music), very clean and very cheap (where else can you get steaks with frenchf ries and a salat for under 2 bucks?)

    it is definetly way better than all that stuff in yangshou.

    the staff speaks excellent english. they also have an english book exchange where you can read english magazines, books, etc during your stay.

    open all day long, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner.

    a little hint:
    the restaurant is right opposit of the yellow-signed Milky Way records store. There you can get the best quality DVDs and CDs for cheap prices!

    I always opt for the chef salad. Fresh greens and veggies with real cheese and ham, tossed with a german-style vinegar sauce.
    best chef salad in China. Order some fresh baguette with it and your in heaven! ;)

    it is 16 Yuan (about $1,80)

    We went to this restaurant because it was in main street Guilin and it was packed with local Chinese so we figured it would be good. We ordered the local speciality of Guilin noodles with beef, some vegetables and Tsingtao beer.
    The servings were huge - we could not eat it all and it was quite good.

    Total cost: 94 Yuan

    It is a very elegant place in European style with one difference - the service is better. I felt a bit embarrased when we got there wearing shorts and T-shirts, but nobody seemed to mind. Waitresses were not pushy, but all the time at our beck and call.
    Mostly European cuisine.

    Wild Animal Restaurants
    by herzog63
    This tip isn't for the animal lover.....In 1987 there were many restaurants that came alive in the evening with cages of live animals stacked outside the restaurant that you could choose and then it would be prepared for you. I saw cats,dogs, many types of birds, small ratlike animals and some that looked like woodchucks. There are also many kinds of fish and turtles,eels etc...On the bright side you know that you food was fresh!!! I didn't eat at any of the restaurants as they were out of my budget!!! But I thought it was interesting to check them out. I wish I could have made some night photos but I wasn't traveling with a flash.

    In this photo you can also see the bicycle lanes that I talked about in one of the other tips.

    From reading through my journal I can tell you that I ate pretty cheap!! One of my lunches consisted of Noodles and Vegetables without meat and it cost a whopping price of 4 Mao and 1 Mao equalled US$.0019 cents at the exchange rate that I had so that meal cost less than US$.08 cents!! I'm sure it was in a small local place I didn't write down the name of the restaurant. But I can vaguely picture in my mind these places that I ate. I had another meal that included Noodles, Veggies and Meat for 2 Yuan (US$.36 cents) The meat must have added to the cost. My quote from my journal about that place..."It's more expensive than ordinary noodles but very delicous" ahhaha I can remember eating that meal with soaking wet feet and sharing a table with a local guy that kept spitting on the floor which sadly is/was a local custom.

    I laughing right now as I click the Under $10 button!!! I could have had 125 meals of regular noodles with veggies for under $10!!

    The photo is a poorly focused relection photo from one of the caves.

    The coffee is good and the owner is super nice. He's spent 12 years in New York and will help you with lots of good advice about Guilin. There's a large screen playing blues and other music DVDs.

    Chinese Escargot ;-)
    by Sharrie
    The restaurant serves a large selection of herbal soups. Extremely well done & great during the winter months.

    For some reasons, Americans whom I've come across are not very used to the distinctive Chinese herbs used in most of the Chinese soups & dishes.

    Same as the fact that most Australians & some Americans hate Tofu.

    So, when it comes to very authentic chinese food, just remember, they are not Chinatown food! You've to have an open mind about them!

    Chinese Herbal Soups, naturally.

    Stir-fried Tian Lo (snails) with chilli. Quite spicy though I was told it's not v. hygienic. It's a favorite in this part of China.

    Souper. Always so busy

    This is a double-storey restaurant at Zhengyang Paedestrian Street, which is famous for its all kinds of tasty soup. It serves tortoise, duck, melon and other soups which are either nourishing or revitalising. Some tables are set up outside so that you can dine alfresco while looking at the passer-bys. Spotted this restaurant frequented by many western tourists. Usually they like to order snails, soup and beer.
