Nóngjīa Fàn Xiāng

Top choice in Guizhou


At the top of Sifangjing Xiang, and with a lovely terrace, this quiet family-run restaurant serves up Guizhou-style dishes including smokey cured bacon with ferncakes (蕨粑腊肉, juébā làròu). It also has classics such as shredded potato with green pepper (青椒土豆丝, qīngjiāo tǔdòusī) and egg-fried rice (鸡蛋炒饭, jīdànchǎofàn).

They brew their own alcohol in ceramic urns, including corn wine (包谷酒, bāogǔjiǔ) and peach blossom wine (桃花酒, táohuājiǔ), which they might let you sample if you can't manage a whole glass of this potent stuff.
