陶陶居，始创于光绪六年（1880年），是广州家喻户晓的百年粤式茶楼，1993年获授予“中华老字号”称号，1998年经国内贸易局批准为“国家特级酒家”。

陶陶居名字寓意乐也陶陶，牌匾为康有为所题。历史上陶陶居以浓厚文化和优质菜式倾倒无数文人墨客，鲁迅，巴金、陈残云、刘海粟都是陶陶居座上客。鲁迅曾在1927年3月18日的日记里写：“18日，雨。午后，同季市、广平往陶陶居品茗。”这一天，伏案之余的鲁迅先生，带着自己心爱的女人，忙里偷闲去陶陶居喝茶。而陶陶居的“鲁迅家宴”菜谱，亦曾被鲁迅迷所追捧。

陶陶居一直坚持以传统手工加上优质食材，展示粤式点心文化，还原粤菜最纯正的味道。近年陆续开设了多家分店，于出品、装修设计、用餐环境多方面灌注新思维，餐厅不仅呈现广府西关文化，也与时尚相融合。进一步向全国乃至全世界展示广府饮食文化。我们相信――最好的传承，便是与时俱进！
