Dagefan — Restaurant in Guangzhou City

Just opposite the big Buddha. Long qué. Inform how many pax to the staff at entrance. A que no is given. Dining is upstairs. No lift only staircase. QR code to order. Staff will come with a glass timer repeat your order and explain a free meal if still not served after the sand fully falls into the bottom. Food not to your liking can change. Service top notch. A must order is the signature BBQ pigeon. Hot and crispy skin. Wear the glove to eat. Claypot pigeon meat rice. Claypot pork ribs with lots of onion, garlic and ginger. Melt in the mouth char siew. Last we have the stir fry goji vegetables. All 5 stars dishes. As each dish is served the waiter explains what is inside. As for the claypot rice, they offer to scrape the bottom crusted rice from the claypot if you want. I strongly recommend eating at least one time. Worth the waiting. The place is ordering and clean and the customer...

The braised pigeon is a must try. It was tender, juicy and very tasty. Tastes similar to duck but not as strong. There isn’t a lot of meat so I would recommend getting a side dish if you have an appetite. The server cuts it for you and gloves are provided. You cannot leave Guangzhou without trying this. It’s the best thing I’ve had in a while and top3 of my favorite meats ever. There’s a reason why they’re rated 4.6 on dianping and recommended by the Michelin guide.

I arrived at 11:30am and got a table right away but when I left at around 12pm a line was starting to form outside. I recommend to skip breakfast so you can get an early lunch. Ordering is very easy, you just need to scan the QR code on the table and use the translation feature...

During my visit to Guangzhou, I stopped by Da Ge Fan on Beijing Road, a local restaurant known for its pigeon dishes. The pigeons lived up to their reputation—crispy skin on the outside, tender meat on the inside, and no unpleasant odor.

The spare rib pork was also impressive, tender and bursting with flavour. All the vegetable dishes were sweet, juicy, and perfectly cooked.

However, the char siu pork was a bit disappointing. It was mostly fat, with very little meat, and although the flavour was good, it was far too oily for our taste.

Overall, this restaurant is definitely worth visiting if you’re on Beijing Road and looking to try some delicious...
