Song

Guangzhou, China; Shop 417, 4F, G.T. Land Plaza Winter, 16 Zhujiang East Road, Zhujiang New Town, Tianhe, Guangzhou, China

Song makes an immediate visual impression. Stainless-steel surfaces, a mirrored ceiling and large glass-feathered forms turn its dining room at G.T. Land Plaza Winter into an unusually theatrical space. The setting is contemporary, but the kitchen’s principal language is Sichuanese, providing an important contrast within a city celebrated primarily for Cantonese food. The menu ranges from substantial shared dishes to preparations inspired by street food. Spicy boiled tiger grouper and spicy crab demonstrate the more forceful side of the repertoire, while dumplings and stuffed pancakes offer smaller-scale pleasures. Jujube-wood-roasted Peking duck adds another regional accent. A varied order is useful here, allowing the meal to move between different textures and levels of intensity. One Michelin star in the 2026 Guangzhou selection recognises the kitchen behind the striking design. Song earns its position for giving visitors an accomplished alternative to a sequence of Cantonese meals without sacrificing a sense of occasion. It is particularly well suited to a group that enjoys sharing and comparing dishes, with the unusual room adding a distinctive backdrop to the conversation.
