LUNA

Beautiful views of Moon Hill from the rooftop

Luna is an elegant rooftop Yangshuo restaurant at Yangshuo Village Inn offering authentic Italian and Chinese fare since 2008. Trained by Italian chefs, Luna also creates beautiful pastries and desserts. With the most scenic views in Yangshuo and an outstanding seelction of imported wines, Luna is the most romantic venue among Yangshuo restaurants. A "Best Restaurants in China" selection from Lonely Planet 2020

Address: #26 Licun (Moon Hill Village), off 321 National Road in Gaotian Town, Yangshuo

China craft brews, great food and views of the Li River

Yangshuo Mountain Retreat is now serving Demo's craft beers from TripSmith in Guiyang from our new taps!

Address: Long Tou Shan wharf, under the covered walking marking street Yangshuo

LUCY'S

Local family run since 2006


One of the longest-running Yangshuo restaurants, Lucy's became an institution with backpackers and long-time expat residents. Her breakfasts are particularly good as are her desserts (we recommend the apple crumble). Lucy's sister and mother still run her restaurant with friendly service. Sit outside on the sidewalk or upstairs in a cosy more private room.

Address: Top of Guihua Lu, just diagonal from the McDonalds.

GANGA IMPRESSION

Another excellent Indian restaurant serving a variety of classic Indian dishes at fair prices. Definitely worth a try, especially if Kali Mirch is busy.

Address: Middle of Cheng Bei Lu, next to (the only other Indian restaurant) Kali Mirch

CHONGQING SISTERS SICHUAN

Follow Guihua Lu to where it ends at a stone footbridge and on your left is this longtime favorite Sichuan restaurant. The sisters who run it are wonderful, the range of dishes is broad (not too spicy for newbies) and reasonably priced. A delicious and reliable experience for Yangshuo insiders.

Address: End of Guihua Lu, heading toward the river, next to the big stone bridge.

7TH HEAVEN

Owned by William and Linda, 7th Heaven is one of the oldest Yangshuo restaurants that also offers a cooking school, tours and accommodation. It is mainly a lunch venue, located in a very busy section of town, just off West Street.

Address: No.2 Chengzhong Road, Yangshuo County 541900, China
