Tucked away in a lane on Zhongshan North Road, the retro-style diner "Meitian Restaurant" stands out with its classic decor, while its wildly popular Golden Lava French Toast is absolutely indulgent!

With its vintage interior attracting foodies and influencers alike for photos, the menu fuses Hong Kong, Thai, and Korean flavors—offering diverse choices with surprisingly delicious tastes that have won over many gourmets.

Located in a lane in Zhongshan District, the modest signage may not stand out at first glance, but the diner's deliberately stylish exterior—featuring freshly tiled walls, textured pillars, and large retro-lettered glass windows—makes the most of the scarce natural light streaming into the space.

Even before entering, you’ll be drawn to the quaint corner outside—adorable potted plants in retro plastic baskets filled with empty soda glass bottles. Even waiting outside for a table isn’t boring, as there are plenty of photo ops.

Upon entering, your eyes are immediately drawn to the cute neon icons and lettering on the walls. The simple yet charming ordering counter features a retro-style welcome sign lamp, alongside a cute amplifier and a mini fridge stocked with glass-bottled sodas.
