Selected entries from the current guide for Xiamen.
Xiamen, China
A Michelin-starred and Black Pearl 2 Diamond fixture on Jiahe Road, Yanyu has held its position at the summit of Xiamen's Fujian dining scene for over a decade. The kitchen anchors its reputation on premium dried seafood, the full Buddha Jumps Over the Wall preparation, and Minnan specialities including prawn noodles in tomalley broth. Price range sits at ¥¥¥, making it accessible relative to its award tier.
Xiamen, China
Housed in a three-storey historic building in Xiamen's Si Ming district, Fleurs Et Festin holds a 2024 Michelin star for its Chaoshan cooking. A kitchen team of Chaoshan natives works with fresh local produce, turning out dishes like braised goose web in spiced marinade and green lobster with taro-scented wax gourd. Private rooms on the upper floors require a minimum spend; ground-floor tables are more accessible.
Xiamen, China
For Minnan cuisine at this level of ambition, the ¥¥¥ pricing sits squarely within reach.
Xiamen, China
Xia occupies a west-facing room above Wuyuan Bay in Xiamen's Siming District, where Chef Kang Yang runs a menu split between Cantonese technique and Minnan regional tradition. The kitchen has held a Michelin Plate in both 2024 and 2025 and earned a Black Pearl 1 Diamond in 2025, placing it among the city's most decorated fine-dining addresses. It is a credible option for anyone tracking how southern Chinese culinary traditions intersect on one plate.
Xiamen, China
Chic 1699 sits on the third floor of the JFC Centre on Huandao East Road, pairing faux-industrial interiors and coastal views with a menu anchored in Minnan seafood and Hokkien tradition. Consecutive Michelin Bib Gourmand recognitions in 2024 and 2025, alongside a Black Pearl 1 Diamond, mark it as the flagship of a local chain that has earned its place among Xiamen's recognised mid-range dining addresses.
Xiamen, China
A Michelin Bib Gourmand–awarded vegetarian restaurant on Xiamen's Huandao South Road beachside promenade, Wuwei Natural Food serves two season-driven set menus in a villa setting with open patio seating and ocean views. The Six-Treasure Soup, a plant-based reinterpretation of the Fujian classic Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, anchors the menu. Priced at the ¥¥ tier, it holds both 2025 Michelin Bib Gourmand and Black Pearl 1 Diamond recognition.
Xiamen, China
Live tanks and dock-to-table sourcing define Xian Xiong Qi in Xiamen, where Minnan-style seafood shines through signatures like Peanut Worm Salad and Braised Carpet Shark Belly and Liver—fine dining with uncompromising freshness and a sommelier-led wine list.
Xiamen, China
For close to a century, this Siming old-town shop has held its position as one of Xiamen's most serious addresses for prawn noodles. The broth is drawn from toasted, pounded shrimp shells and heads slow-cooked over four hours, and the fish ball soup, white eel stuffed with pork, served in pork-bone broth, is equally worth ordering. Low-key surroundings, high-commitment cooking.
Xiamen, China
A Zhong Shi Fang began as a street stall more than two decades ago and has held consecutive Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition in 2024 and 2025. The format is direct: browse the fish tanks and light boxes, order from whatever looks good that day. At ¥¥ pricing in Xiamen's Siming District, it represents a particularly direct entry point into serious Minnan cooking.
Xiamen, China
Open since 1996, this Siming District neighbourhood institution has served the same four items every day: ginger duck stew, duck gizzards, blanched greens, and steamed rice. Rows of claypots simmer with local Muscovy duck, old ginger, rice wine, and sesame oil. A two-time Michelin Bib Gourmand recipient (2024 and 2025), it represents one focused expression of Xiamen's ginger duck tradition.
Xiamen, China
Across the harbour in Huli District, Chen Xian Sen is the kind of sha cha noodle shop that locals return to rather than recommend to strangers. Coarsely ground peanuts define the broth, producing a nutty depth that distinguishes it from the blander versions common elsewhere. The topping list extends well past the standards, taking in duck blood curd, pork kidney, and pork intestine alongside oysters and beef short loin.
Xiamen, China
A Michelin Bib Gourmand recipient in 2024 and 2025, Cong Hui Tongan Lao Mei Shi Fan Dian has served Tong'an home-style cooking from Siming District since 1999.

Pricing sits at the entry tier of Xiamen's Fujian dining scene.
Xiamen, China
Da Tong Shao Jiu Lang has operated from Xiamen's Siming District old town for more than a decade, specialising in shao jiao pei, the Minnan tradition of small plates built around drinking. The seafood-forward menu runs to blanched octopus with a closely guarded dip and pork kidney in Sichuan pepper sauce, placing it squarely in the informal, convivial tier of Fujian eating that Xiamen does better than almost anywhere else in China.
Xiamen, China
A Michelin Bib Gourmand recipient in both 2024 and 2025, Dai Tai brings Yunnan's Dai ethnic cooking to Xiamen's Zhongshan Road shopping district at a mid-range price point that puts it well below the city's Fujian-focused fine dining tier. Ingredients are sourced directly from Yunnan province, and the kitchen team is wholly Yunnanese, giving the restaurant a regional specificity that most transplant-cuisine addresses in coastal China do not match.
Xiamen, China
Open since 1983, Fu Yu Da Tong Ya Rou Zhou is a Siming District institution that earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2024 for its duck congee. The menu runs to more than 20 toppings, anchored by three crowd-approved combinations of duck, offal, and seafood. At single-¥ pricing, it operates in a tier where neighbourhood loyalty and daily habit matter far more than occasion dining.
Xiamen, China
Open since 1994, Guo Gong Fan Dian is a no-frills Xiang'An institution where the menu on the wall is a suggestion and the glass-fronted fridge tells the real story. Braised pork trotter with chestnuts and sautéed frog are ordered at nearly every table. Three decades of local loyalty say more than any award could.
Xiamen, China
A Michelin Bib Gourmand recipient in 2024 and 2025, Hao Shi Lai has been serving Minnan seafood from its Siming District address since 1993. Now in its second generation, it draws on southern Fujian cooking traditions with a focus on freshness and technique. The mid-range ¥¥ pricing and family-restaurant setting make it a reliable entry point into Xiamen's seafood dining scene.
Xiamen, China
A Michelin Bib Gourmand-recognised Fujian kitchen in Xiamen's Siming District, Homeme18" operates on a ten-table floor where à la minute cooking through a glass-clad kitchen makes the preparation as legible as the food itself. Home-style dishes like pork soup with whelks and braised trotter with Fuding taro position it at the affordable end of a city known for serious Hokkien cooking.
Xiamen, China
A household name in Xiamen for over 30 years, Lai Cuo Cheng has built its reputation on bian shi, the small pork wontons that define Hokkien street food at its most precise. Consecutive Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition in 2024 and 2025 confirms what generations of local families already knew. The menu is short, deliberate, and priced at a single yuan sign.
Xiamen, China
For over 30 years, Lao Song Bian Shi Dian on Xiahe Road has been the reference point for Xiamen's bian shi tradition. Generations of locals have grown up on its pork wonton soup, peanut-sauced blanched noodles, and hand-shredded pork with tendon. At this price tier and with this longevity, it belongs on any serious survey of Fujianese street food.
Xiamen, China
Lu Niang Zi in Xiamen's Huli district has held the Michelin Bib Gourmand in both 2024 and 2025 for its beef noodle soup, a bowl built on long-simmered bone stock, pickled cabbage, and meticulously cooked long loin. At single-digit renminbi prices, it represents the Bib Gourmand's original premise: serious cooking at everyday cost. The marinated meat platter, tripe, intestine, shin, dried tofu, hard-boiled egg, is the essential order alongside the soup.
Xiamen, China
A Siming District institution with over two decades of history, Ming Yue Xia Mian on Xiahe Road earns its Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition through a prawn noodle broth built on hundreds of prawn heads, finished with tomalley oil and grated garlic. The bowl arrives loaded with shelled prawns, prawn balls, char siu, lean pork, pork intestine, and bean sprouts. At single-digit renminbi prices, it draws a crowd from opening until the last portion sells out.
Xiamen, China
A Michelin Bib Gourmand recipient in 2024 and 2025, this Siming District branch of a Shishi-founded group brings three decades of Minnan cooking to The MixC, with a kitchen overseen by a Minnan master chef. Signature scallion buns made behind a glass partition and mackerel fish ball soup sit at the heart of its Fujian menu.
Xiamen, China
Set inside a cultural park in Xiamen's Jimei district, Pan Ya Yuan serves a 10-course vegetarian set menu structured around China's 24 solar terms, changing twice monthly. The Zen-inflected interior and private dining rooms place it firmly in the contemplative end of the city's plant-based dining scene. It holds the Michelin Bib Gourmand for both 2024 and 2025.

Selected entries from the current guide for Xiamen.
Xiamen, China
Among Xiamen's coastal luxury properties, Lohkah Hotel & Spa occupies a private stretch of the Huli District marina with 188 rooms, a 2,888 m² spa, and Leading Hotels of the World membership confirmed for 2025.

Xiamen, China
Set on Gulangyu Island, a short ferry crossing from Xiamen's mainland, HUANG YAN 36 Hotel occupies a property shaped by late Qing dynasty architecture and a guest experience calibrated around personalised, unhurried service. The sound of a record player greets arrivals, and Minnan stained-glass details frame interiors that treat historical preservation as a living act rather than a decorative gesture.
Xiamen, China
Conrad Xiamen occupies the 37th to 54th floors of the sail-shaped Shimao Straits Tower on Xiamen's southwestern coast, making it the tallest coastal hotel in the region. The property's four dining outlets span Fujian-Cantonese cuisine, a 54th-floor grill, and a spa overlooking the strait.
Xiamen, China
Andaz Xiamen holds a Michelin Selected designation for 2025, placing it among a small group of recognized hotels in Fujian Province's most visited coastal city. Positioned on Hubin East Road in the Siming District, the property sits within reach of the waterfront and commercial core. For travelers who want a well-credentialed address in Xiamen without the formality of a traditional luxury flag, it competes directly with properties like Conrad Xiamen and Waldorf Astoria Xiamen.
Xiamen, China
HUALUXE Xiamen Haicang is a Michelin Selected hotel positioned on Haicang Road in Xiamen's westward-expanding Haicang District.

Xiamen, China
W Xiamen holds a MICHELIN Selected distinction, placing it among the city's most closely watched luxury hotels. Positioned on Lvling Road in the Siming District, the property brings the W brand's high-decibel design sensibility to a coastal city more accustomed to quieter internationalism.

Xiamen, China
Xiamen Yunding Resort occupies an refined position above one of Fujian's most scenically layered coastal cities, placing it in a tier of destination resort properties that trade on landscape integration as much as accommodation. The property sits within the broader Xiamen luxury market alongside flagships like the Waldorf Astoria and Conrad, but targets a different register: resort withdrawal over urban connectivity.

Xiamen, China
ÉPANOUIR sits in Huli district's Aeronautics Gudishi Square, where Xiamen's quieter commercial edges are developing a more considered bar culture. A Star Wine List recognition for 2026 places it alongside China's more seriously drink programs, making it a reference point for anyone tracking the city's evolving wine and cocktail scene.
Xiamen, China
1387 is a Xiamen bar to approach through format rather than accolades: the public details are spare, so the useful question is how it fits into a city bar scene that splits between hotel lounges, style-led rooms, and cocktail-led independents. Treat it as a focused stop for drinkers comparing Xiamen’s smaller bar circuit, not as a venue defined by awards or a published price tier.
Xiamen, China
A British-styled bar in Xiamen's Siming District, The Londoner brings a Western pub atmosphere to a city more commonly associated with Fujianese teahouse culture. Sitting within Amoy's developing cocktail and nightlife scene, it offers an alternative register to the technically focused bars shaping China's broader bar culture right now.
