Bai Wen Guan In Bergamo

Walking along Via Quarenghi, in the heart of Bergamo, it is easy to pass by Bai Wei Guan without noticing it: the entrance is discreet, almost anonymous, especially because of a lowered shutter that could make you think it is closed. However, behind the threshold lies one of the most authentic and surprising Chinese cuisine experiences that the city has to offer. The restaurant - small and cozy, but always tidy - offers a selection of dishes that differs from the "Westernized" versions that many are used to. Here you can breathe authenticity: the menu offers typical specialties of the Chinese tradition, with a rare attention to the quality of the ingredients and the care in the preparation. The quality-price ratio is decidedly favorable, especially considering the possibility of tasting dishes that are difficult to find elsewhere, such as sautéed okra, pig's ears, the centenary egg, or phoenix legs - dishes not for everyone, of course, but that will delight the most curious and passionate palates. The service is fast, friendly and always attentive, helping to make the experience pleasant and relaxed. The place is not yet very well known, which makes it easy to find a place, even on weekends and during lunch breaks. Payments by debit card are accepted. Only warning for those arriving from outside: being right in the city center, parking can be complicated. It is recommended to reach it on foot or by public transport. In short, an address to note and keep: a real pearl for those who want to discover the most authentic Chinese cuisine, without leaving Bergamo.

Eat a lot while spending little. I recommend the soy noodles with vegetables and the beef with peppers and spicy sauce. The staff is very friendly and the restaurant is welcoming.

It was great to have a nice selection of veg dishes after all the carbs we had been eating. Many great vegan options though I didn't like the tofu. All the vegetables I had were quite savory and very welcome.

Small place, but a real gem. The food is AMAZING and the prices are very low for being in the center of Bergamo. It is clear that it is managed specifically for Chinese customers who want to rediscover the tastes of home.

We found this restaurant by chance and we're delighted with everything, the service was fast and friendly, the food was lovely and piping hot ,and great value all round,definitely worth a visit if you like good authentic Chinese food .

This store tastes very authentic. I will come again. The landlady is very enthusiastic

I have been to many Chinese restaurants This is cheap and tastes authentic I will come again if I get the chance.

Good Chinese restaurant with quick service at an affordable price

Cozy place, varied and good food, the best Chinese restaurant in Bergamo. Very good value for money, you can eat a complete lunch at a popular price.

Restaurant with a not very welcoming and somewhat spartan atmosphere. Very kind staff. So-so food, the lamb chops with more bone than meat, the house tofu very different from the menu image and a little bone of something (lamb?) inside the vegetarian fried rice. We probably made a mistake in choosing the dishes, we should have gone for something more distinctive. The okra was very good though.
