I really like it here in Guangzhou...
It's very similar to the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Blowing in the sea breeze, listening to the waves, watching the sunset,
it's really relaxing! So stress-relieving! So comfortable!

A lovely place
We were passing by here and noticed this place in the night. Its cozy atmosphere persuaded me to try. It has a live acoustic band. The service is fast. They have al fresco and inside dining. I've got my sangria, and for the price? It's very worth it.
The menu is also not that costly considering other western spots in the vicinity charge much more. Had the salmon with mac and cheese - portion is very kids sized, not fulling although the mac and cheese is nice and the salmon is on the softer side. Tried the duck meat toast - toast was very crunchy and was not bad, the sauce was nice. Overall a good experience.

#guangzhouguide #familytravel
great way to start the day
This was one of our favourite places to come for brekafast. A good coffee is an absolute essential and in the days to follow we explored their menu options. They have a few different beans on espresso. Two roasted for black (espresso, long black) and one specially for milk drink (piccolo, flat white).
I had the washed Alo as a double espresso. Well balanced, with pleasant acidity. Fully recommend everyone, locals and tourists to visit as it is conveniently located. From the price point they do decent too.

great little spot
This is a good place for coffee. I have also been able to get work done and hangout. The coffee pans were unique, even an espresso. They don’t just use a blender you single origin and they have this deal where you can have one milk base and one espresso base for 6 rmb more which I thought was totally worth it the taste of espresso was really good.
It was a step across Preso places I thought the place was pretty small was cozy and unique but I don’t think the seats were a bit hot during the day so I recommend going the evening dot the location was pretty strategic in the middle of houses so it was easy to find and would recommend for a pleasant afternoon coffee. Overall, its an impressive spot for Guangzhou.
#guangzhouguide #staycation
good speciality coffee
I have visited Hanmo several times and have found good beans at their shop. Their beans are reasonably priced. Their whites come with a single shot so add a shot if you want a double. Texture is on the thin side but tasty. This place has a lot for coffee enthusiasts. Honduras El Puente double shot was decent. Red apple, dried peach, hazelnut, chocolate. Got a hint of general fruitiness.
Ethiopia Chelsea double shot tasted even better. Grapefruit, berries, bergamot, pink peach. Most recently the bergamot came through. I couldn't quite taste a huge difference between the two types of beans.

amazing place to eat
Came here to hang out on a weekend and the staff was so friendly. First the interior is decorated with taste, it’s not a generic brunch place, then the music accords the board. The waiter sits and talks with you about what you’d like to experience flavor wise and then let’s you know if they have fresh ingredients to deliver on the flavor promise.
Great coffee, best bacon I’ve had in months of travel around Asia and truly first rate service. Can taste the freshness of each dishes prepared. Love the vibe and the hospitality of the place is in top notch.

good breakfast place
Salad bowls were good except for the dry and seemed a little undercooked brown rice. Had “fry up”, if you prefer asian taste on a western meal, you might be able to accept this, especially bacon being the star of the dish. However, i would prefer everything to taste western when i’m here.
Portion is huge. The staff said they cooked and stored the brown rice in fridge and was meant to serve cold. Other ingredients were pretty good and generous serving. Coffee and brownie were great.

nice dining experience
They serve fusion western fare, finger foods and typical cafe items with pocket friendly prices. Decent menu and offers a fuss-free and an exciting dining experience. Modern interior coupled with a beautiful mural. GAIA fusion stands out in both it's location and it's food. They also serve house teas, gryphons teas, freshly brewed coffee and tap.
The rotisserie chicken was stuffed with truffle paste but the portion was a little stingy. But was warm and crispy, it was wholesome with some roasted veggies and the crispy snow peas have an interesting texture.
#guangzhouguide#thingstodo
good variety of food
There are some interesting items on the menu. Especially if you are looking for a change from Guangdong style food or Chinese food. They have Thai options and Malaysian dishes too. Their asian fusion pasta was incredibly delicious, bursting into a myriad of flavours in my mouth.
I'm someone who doesn't normally order asian fusion pasta or anything that does fusion. Their mala prawn pasta was spicy, coated in thick seafood broth. the blue swimmer crab pasta was tomatoes with a little tangy taste, elevating the dish overall.
