Regent Chongqing Hotel opened in late 2016 and is a five-star hotel. Hotel buffet, Western food, Chinese food and all kinds of restaurants have good reviews in Chongqing. Located on the 3rd floor of the hotel, Regent Xuan Chinese Restaurant not only provides famous dishes from Sichuan and Chongqing, but also has a lot of Cantonese cuisine.
The restaurant's "chef's signature dish" is basically Cantonese cuisine, which is superior to Sichuan cuisine. Pan-fried snowflake beef with black pepper sauce is the chef's first recommended dish, using Australian imported snowflake beef, the quality alone is much better than many domestic free-range cattle snowflakes. The beef melts in your mouth, and more juice bursts out as you chew, and the aroma of the beef fills the mouth immediately, mellow without rinsing the nose, and the black pepper juice eliminates the greasy feeling. Diners who prefer a sweeter taste can try dragon fruit fried Australian beef cubes, which are not "chef's signature dishes", but they are also amazing. The beef cubes are stir-fried first and then stir-fried with dragon fruit, the beef flavor is well "locked" in the beef grains by the dragon fruit, diners can feel the sweetness of the dragon fruit first, and the thick beef aroma is slowly overflowing after the thick chewiness.
Downstairs of Regent Chinese Restaurant is Chongqing's top Western restaurant, Robbins Steakhouse (also affiliated to Chongqing Regent Hotel), and Regent Restaurant's foie gras dishes are also comparable to the brilliant performance of Robins Steakhouse foie gras. Stir-fried foie gras with rare mushroom sauce is a popular dish, the fatty foie gras has no peculiar smell and is tender and smooth in the mouth, and side dishes such as roast sauce and mushrooms add a fusion aroma and crispy texture to the foie gras.
As a supporting restaurant of a five-star hotel, fish, shrimp, crab shellfish, swallow abalone and ginseng and other seafood are naturally available, and most of the dishes are barely worth the high price. Listing Regent Xuan as a place for business banquets and special gatherings is unlikely to go wrong. It should be noted that dim sum and refreshments commonly found in Cantonese cuisine are hard to find here, and diners can dispel the idea of "drinking tea" here.
The restaurant has 12 large private rooms, and the overall decoration is bright and atmospheric, and the box facing the river view is even more impressive. The minimum consumption of the box ranges from 2000~7000 yuan, and the service fee is 10%. The waiter's attitude was a little cold, but fortunately, the serving and withdrawal of dishes were very neat. Restaurants can sometimes be extremely slow to serve food, and it's hard to get positive feedback from the waiter.
