Jiang Nan Gallery

Best Known For

Squirrel shaped deep-fried whole barramundi with sweet and sour sauce.

China’s best-kept food secret comes from the lower reaches of the Yangtze River; a part of Shanghai, regional Jiangnan cuisine is the embodiment of harmony and it can be found right on our doorstep at Jiang Nan Gallery in Sydney’s CBD. This two-storey restaurant is beautifully decorated with traditional Chinese décor and artwork, where every day is Spring and jade plate ware only adds to the charm, along with traditionally dressed staff. Begin with pan-fried pork buns and black truffle, or fresh shrimp and spinach dumplings; before mains like pork belly, quail egg and steamed rice. Jiang Nan Gallery’s signature is how they cook Australian barramundi offering three choices - deep-fried with sweet and sour sauce, steamed with shallots and ginger, or braised with Chinese soy and spicy sauce.
