Restaurants in Ānhuī

  1. Huīzhōu Měishí

    Located on the west bank of the river, this small and friendly family-run restaurant has no English sign, but it's a good spot to sample local Huizhou-style cooking, from stewed stone frog (hóngshāo shíjī; 红烧石鸡) to filling Anhui-style fried noodles (huīshì chǎomiàn; 徽式炒面) and fried meat slices in Anhui style (huīshì huíguōròu; 徽式回锅肉).

  2. Měishí Rénjiā

    At the offical entrance to Lao Jie, this bustling restaurant – spread over two floors and hung with traditional Chinese mǎdēng lanterns – seethes with satisfied customers. Peruse the counter for a range of dishes – húntūn (wontons; dumpling soup), jiǎozi (stuffed dumplings), bāozi (steamed buns stuffed with meat or vegetables), noodles, clay pot and more – on display, have them cooked fresh to order and sink a delicious glass of sweet zǐmǐlù (紫米露), made from purple glutinous rice. If you want to linger over a meal, a more expensive restaurant version is located next door.

  3. A

    Lúzhōu Kǎoyā

    Sample some of Ānhuī's traditional roast duck (烤鸭; Y18.50 per 500g), plus plenty of other noodle and dumpling dishes (from Y6) at this buzzy eatery. Order at the counter and show the slip to the server, then take a seat. Grab some of the savoury roasted biscuits (look for the queue outside) to go.

  4. Gāotāng Húntūn

    Duck down a little alley opposite 120 Lao Jie to enjoy a warming bowl of húntūn made by a 12th-generation seller. The secret is in the superthin húntūn skins, meat minced from whole lean pork, and the tasty soup. No room on the skinny benches outside? Grab a seat in the owner's living room: it's set in an atmospheric Qing-era Hui home. It also sells dà húntūn (larger, vegie-filled dumplings).
