Plum Garden

[Environment] Located on the second floor of the hotel, the ambiance is quiet and elegant. The reception was warm and welcoming, and we were seated quickly. [Taste] The dishes were savory, fresh, and delicious, and the presentation was exquisite. The ingredients and cooking methods were explained during serving, and some dishes can be ordered in half portions, making them perfect for one person! I was particularly impressed by the soft pocket, Wensi tofu, small lion's head, and Yuhua tangyuan. I'll definitely try their other dishes next time I have the chance. [Service] The service was attentive, and the tea and bowls were refilled promptly. Thanks to our waiters, Xiao Song and Yuntong. Xiao Song's suggestions for ordering were very professional and thoughtful. Thank you!

Our dinner at Jinling Hotel Meiyuan was absolutely wonderful! Special praise must go to our server, Xiao Jing. She was not only warm and attentive, but also incredibly professional and considerate. She proactively recommended authentic Jinling specialties for our family of three. Even more remarkable, she thoughtfully considered our group size and proactively helped us manage the portions. The portions she recommended were just the right amount, allowing us to enjoy a variety of delicious dishes without wasting time.

I stayed at Jinling Hotel and experienced the food at Meiyuan. The quality of the dishes was very good, especially the green peas and water chestnuts, which were definitely worth a try. The waiters Xiaojie and Xiaotang were very considerate. I will try other dishes next time I come to Nanjing.

[Xiaobai loves sharing] Since I'm in Jinling City, of course I have to come to the oldest and most authentic Jinling Hotel. This restaurant has simply refreshed the position of Huaiyang cuisine in my heart, especially the big boiled dried shredded pork. I've eaten this dish in a famous restaurant in Xi'an before, but I never understood why it became a famous Huaiyang dish. Today, I immediately understood it after tasting it. It's refreshing and delicious. People who know Xiaobai know that I am a fan of fatty meat. Meiyuan's Dongpo pork is fatty but not greasy, and it's delicious; lion head and stir-fried shrimp are also standard configurations of Huaiyang cuisine. In addition, eel is called soft pocket in Huaiyang cuisine. Every dish is delicious and worth savoring. However, it should be stated that a 15[%] service charge will be added here, and the price of the dishes is also high. Whether you come here depends on whether you are a standard foodie.

It is a test of the chef's knife skills. The tofu is cut very finely, almost like a needle, and it is cut into strips, regular and continuous.
