A delicious beefsteak, my main course, did not let me down, either. Guo says it was made from top-quality Australian tenderloin, and I enjoyed its moist, soft and chewy texture.

ADVERTISING3 3 The steak was served with foie gras and two kinds of salt: black volcanic salt and smoked sea salt. The restaurant has collected about 100 kinds of salt, because Guo likes to experiment with flavors.

The dessert, iced caramel cream pie served with blue-berries and strawberries looked very beautiful and it tasted dense and sweet, quite to my taste.

First-time visitors should go a little early: it is difficult to find the restaurant among all the eateries dotting the Shenlu dining street without a smartphone map; it is on the third floor of a small building that is easy to miss.

The ingredients differ for differently priced meal sets, which are respectively 280 yuan ($45), 380 yuan and 480 yuan per head for dinner. For lunch, the price levels are 120 yuan and 150 yuan per head.Contact the writer at liuzhihua@chinadaily.com.cn
