Born in 2015, Xintian Plant Life Restaurant is a vegan restaurant with the theme of plant cultivation. At present, Xintian Plant Life Restaurant has a branch in Tancun and Liuhua, of which the new Liuhua Restaurant has a space area of about 3,000 square meters, full of greenery, and is known as the largest comprehensive ecological garden vegetarian restaurant in China. In 2016, Xintian Plant Life Restaurant was listed on the list of the top ten popular restaurants (theme characteristics) in Guangzhou jointly selected by Sohu News, Southern Metropolis Daily and other units.
Plant cultivation and plant life are the most eye-catching features of Xintian Restaurant, and walking into Xintian Restaurant is like stepping into a secret garden in the city. Located in the Liuhua Exhibition and Trade Center, Xintian's Liuhua Shop is relatively secluded, passing through the indoor walkway and entering the inner courtyard, where you can see a botanical garden and a two-story building with panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows. There are thousands of varieties of flowers, plants, vegetables and fruits planted in the plant garden of Xintian, and the scenery of the garden is quite attractive, making it a suitable place for taking pictures. The two-story building is the main building of the restaurant, the first floor is the coffee bar and private room, and the second floor is the Taiwanese food area. Both floors feature floor-to-ceiling glass windows that provide bright light and unobstructed views of the Botanical Gardens. The interior decoration is simple industrial style, with a large number of vegetation dotted in between, and the environment is pleasing to the eye. The Tancun store in Xintian is smaller, with the same greenery, and the richness of the dishes is not as good as that of the flower shop.
Plant-based eating is the dining philosophy of Xintian Restaurant, and the dishes are all vegetarian, such as lion's mane mushrooms, crab mushrooms, Taiwanese tofu, all raw salad, sushi platter, avocado crepes, etc., are all popular dishes in the store. Gong Bang Lion's Mane Mushroom is one of the signature dishes of the restaurant, almost every table must be ordered, the plate is exquisite, garnished with dry ice, lion's mane mushroom seasoning and breading is fried, the taste is sweet and sour, the meat is full, but it is a little greasy, and it can be eaten with lettuce to reduce the greasy feeling. All kinds of raw salad are made of puffed grains to make a clay base, and vegetables such as okra, carrots, mushrooms and asparagus are erected at the top, with a unique shape, and the flavor combination of fresh milk and mustard is more special. In terms of staple foods, noodles such as oily noodles and small noodles in front of the eaves are acceptable, while white sauce stewed rice and green sauce stewed rice are lacto-vegetarian, with a light taste and a large portion. There are a lot of greasy dishes in Xintian Restaurant, and there is room for improvement in the combination of dishes.
In addition to à la carte dishes, Xintian Plant Life Restaurant also provides a dining "singing tour", which has a specially divided landscape dining area. The table meal is divided into 6 kinds of dishes, including pre-dinner package, appetizer, soup, main course, main dish and dessert, a total of 8 dishes, all of which are different from the à la carte dishes, each dish is smaller in portion, and the presentation is more exquisite, which is a good choice for two people to date. The price of a meal for one person is 139 yuan per person, and a starting point for two people is required.
The restaurant uses an online menu to order, and customers can scan the QR code on the table to enter the ordering page, and can complete all the operations from ordering, submitting orders to paying on their mobile phones, or directly ask the waiter to help place an order. The service staff has a good service attitude, but the professionalism of the service still needs to be improved. The atmosphere of the Liuhua Restaurant at Xintian Plant Life Restaurant is also different during the day and at night, and it will be a good environment for dining experience whether you visit the restaurant during the day or at night.
