Dai , Floor 3, 728 Dongfeng Dong Lu (tel 87782989 ext 3303), in a tower block 100m west of the Nonglin Xia Lu junction. Very stylish, upmarket Dai fare, with evening dance sessions - all light-years away from Xishuangbanna, but tasty even so.

 

Japanese , southeast corner of Dongfeng Dong Lu and Nonglin Xia Lu. Fair prices here: sushi from ¥8 to ¥15 a plate, or set meals of noodles, soup and sushi selection from ¥35.

My Home , Taojin Lu. Hunanese restaurant more popular with Guangzhou's expats than Chinese residents - the interior even looks like an average Chinese restaurant overseas - though the cooking is good and prices are reasonable.
