Fine looking establishment, friendly staff, good space between tables, so all-right. Then the menu came, all chinese with small photo's and nobody around able to clarify. So it became a gamble. We ordered 4 dishes, and the waiter used his phone to explain that we had duck, chicken, ribs and ? (not clear). Dishes came shortly after each other and looked great. We found that 3 meat dishes all contained bones thus (not being a fan) kept plucking The taste was good though. So the selecting what to eat made it (too) difficult.

The Amayi Naxi restaurant offers excellent local dishes (and a good English-language menu). We really enjoyed the chicken-mushroom-tofu hotpot and the rice in bamboo recommended by other reviewers.

Visited with my girlfriend with some high expectations because the place was previously 15/15 times 5 stars (all chinese votes). We thought the place was decent but definitely not 5/5 nor the best place in lijiang.

The decorations of the restaurant are superb, and every dish looks so great! I and some friends of mine tried 3 dishes but the food disappointed us for a bit, maybe we expected too much for the food. Anyway, if you care about the environment more than the food itself, this might be a good choice.Dear Terry,Thanks very much for your review and your stay at our restaurant. At Les Petites Ecuries we source all our food ingredients from either our employees home or local farmers, and we work independantly from the mass production and supply industry.There is no MSG or no chicken powder, not any additive added in any of our food, most of our vegetables are seasonal and organic (so sometimes, in limited quantity), and all is freshly prepared just before serving it to you.Yunnan is one of the world richest region in term of fauna and flora, so is the diversity of cuisines and tastes. At Les Petites Ecuries we are not pretending any creativity in term of gastronomy, but we are trying to concentrate Yunnan most representatives ingredients and flavors into one cuisine, and we are aware that working without MSG might disapoint some of our clients.Thanks again for your support and taking time to review us. We wish to see you again in Lijiang and at Les Petites Ecuries with a different eye.Romain

This is a charming little courtyard restaurant with an extensive menu (in English). Most importantly the food is delicious and served with a generosity of spirit that made us feel very welcome. I was particularly thrilled with the wide choice of vegetarian options. Jenny the owner is charming and we enjoyed speaking to her and her and her teamâs hospitality. We are only sorry it was our last night otherwise we would have gone back for more!

A very good spot, but weirdly managed. We came twice, on the first time they were out of potato chips (the only side on the menu) by 8.30pm, and we had to wait 20mn for the rice crepe thingy (the main item in the menu).On the second day they had potato chips, but the wait time for the rice crepes was 30+ minutes.Apart from that it is very good, if you have time I definitely recommend it.

We enjoyed the food we ate here. Lots of local dishes, like the rice cakes, bread and the duck was yummy- they asked us about spice tolerance which was good as we can't do food that's too spicy! They have an English/ photo menu so it was easy to order. We really wanted to try the mango rolls but were too full from the other dishes we had ordered! We were a bit put off by the staff practicing their English behind us and giggling a lot. Being a bit more discreet would have helped us enjoy the experience more.
