陶陶居,始創于光緒六年(1880年),是廣州家喻戶曉的百年粵式茶樓,1993年獲授予“中華老字號”稱號,1998年經國內貿易局批準為“國家特級酒家”。
陶陶居名字寓意樂也陶陶,牌匾為康有為所題。歷史上陶陶居以濃厚文化和優質菜式傾倒無數文人墨客,魯迅,巴金、陳殘云、劉海粟都是陶陶居座上客。魯迅曾在1927年3月18日的日記里寫:“18日,雨。午后,同季市、廣平往陶陶居品茗?!?/span>這一天,伏案之余的魯迅先生,帶著自己心愛的女人,忙里偷閑去陶陶居喝茶。而陶陶居的“魯迅家宴”菜譜,亦曾被魯迅迷所追捧。
陶陶居一直堅持以傳統手工加上優質食材,展示粵式點心文化,還原粵菜最純正的味道。近年陸續開設了多家分店,于出品、裝修設計、用餐環境多方面灌注新思維,餐廳不僅呈現廣府西關文化,也與時尚相融合。進一步向全國乃至全世界展示廣府飲食文化。我們相信――最好的傳承,便是與時俱進!
