From a singular a la carte specialty to a seven-course tasting menu complete with food and wine pairing options, a dining experience at The Ritz-Carlton, Guangzhou Terra restaurant is a discovery of gastronomic pleasures in a convivial atmosphere.

Led by award-winning Chef de Cuisine Georg Christian Schroeppel, the daily menu showcases contemporary western cuisine incorporating freshly imported and local seasonal produce. Diners will have their palates whet by Chef Schroeppel's signature culinary creations such as steamed foie gras custard with onion marmalade and red wine apple puree, warm salmon carpaccio with tomato-orange vinaigrette, and grilled wagyu beef tenderloin with baby vegetables and roasted polenta. The freshest of ingredients, such as organic fruits and vegetables, succulent meats and seafood, and oils and vinegars are sourced from the best suppliers around China, Asia, and Europe, bringing diversity and the enhancement of tastes and flavors to the palate. Traditional and innovative cooking processes like cold smoke or the use of special equipment enable the extraction of each ingredient's flavor, creating impressive dishes and uniquely sensual experiences.

Beginning with freshly baked breads, guests can choose from either the three set menus or the a la carte choices to indulge on their favorites or the chef's recommendations. To complement the dining experience, carefully selected wines (available by the glass or bottle) have been paired with each dish on the menu. For more adventurous wine aficionados, a sommelier will guide you in selecting a libation from a wine list of 428 wines – the largest in Southern China. Expert sommeliers will also impart masterful food and wine pairing suggestions to enhance the enjoyment of the meal.

A modern and stylish ambience for celebrations, private events or business entertaining, guests can be seated in either the main dining room or The Wine Room, an intimate setting for 10 guests. The contemporary décor and setting that enables diners a view of the open kitchen and the oversized wine cellar is the backdrop for the highly personalized service led by Restaurant Manager Jobst Herr.
