Nankinish Delights - the Heart & Soul of Eating in Nanjing

Ultimate where to take Your out of Town Guests (w/ Salted Duck)

Accommodation and itineraries are arranged. Now the only question for you is, where to take them for dinner? At one point you considered the option of dining at home, but you doubt if they like the idea of coming from afar just to sit on your couch and watch you cook.  You need a restaurant.
