Li Xuan
Qingyang, China
On the twenty-sixth floor of the Ritz-Carlton, Li Xuan serves Cantonese cooking in a polished room overlooking Chengdu. Soups, barbecue dishes and skilful stir-fries form the backbone of the menu, offering a measured alternative to a fiery Sichuan dinner. A soup combining yellow croaker and fish maw is among the dishes highlighted by Michelin. Reserve for an unhurried meal, and ask about window seating if the skyline is part of the occasion.
